Whilst patrolling around Southam PCSO SUTTON 6355 and PCSO BAILEY 6118 bumped into this gorgeous boy, who loved a fuss! PCSO’S have advised owners to be careful when walking their fur friends in peak temperatures. Walk in the morning or evening to reduce the risk of heat stroke.
PCSO Bailey and PCSO Sutton have been on foot patrol this afternoon and checked for any ASB in Southam Park. Patrols will continue to be made in the evenings as well, over the coming weeks, as reports have been made by the council to police regarding ASB issues in the park.

Children travelling alone or being found in areas they have no obvious connection to can be a sign they are being exploited by SOC gangs.
Gangs can use children to courier drugs and money across the country on public transport. Some of these children are as young as 12.
Changes in behaviour and emotional wellbeing can be a sign that someone is being exploited by a SOC gang.
These changes in behaviour might include:
Going missing from home or school
Socialising with unfamiliar adults
Using drugs and alcohol
Self harm
An increase in people entering or leaving a property can be a sign someone is being exploited. The occupier may be being cuckooed by a county lines drug gang; they may have taken over their home to deal drugs from.
Someone with multiple phones, tablets or SIM cards could be a sign they are being exploited by SOC gangs. The phones are usually cheap, disposable and old fashioned, because they are change frequently to avoid detection by police. Look out for the signs!
