Speaking to local officers from both the neighbourhood and rural taskforce teams, they discussed issues including anti-social behaviour, retail crime, rural crime and the illegal use of e-bikes and e-scooters in the area.
Following the visit, Commissioner Grunshaw said: “It’s fantastic to see the positive relationship the local policing team has with the MP for the area and how they are working together and with other partners to tackle issues in Ormskirk proactively.
“I also had the opportunity to visit local businesses and it’s clear to see that officers are working closely with them to address retail crime to keep both business owners and their customers safe.
“I’ll continue to work closely with the Constabulary to ensure they have the resources they need to tackle local issues head on and by working with MPs across Lancashire we can ensure that local concerns can be raised at national level.”
West Lancashire MP Ashley Dalton added: “I was delighted to welcome Commissioner Grunshaw to Ormskirk and show him some of the specific issues that people and businesses here face.
“Our officers work incredibly hard to keep our community safe and I’m pleased that the Commissioner is committed to supporting our officers with the resources they need to get on with the job.”
