North Wales police have introduced a scheme whereby community beat managers commit themselves to a three-year term in a particular area of the town. As a consequence, Sergeant Darren Jacks and his team in the Caia Park area of Wrexham have achieved a huge increase in confidence in policing in the area. Will the Minister commend Sergeant Jacks and his team on that work and encourage other police authorities to look at the North Wales experience, because real community policing has a huge beneficial effect on confidence in policing in communities?
