Ford dealer Reed of Trowbridge has given Wiltshire police a car on loan for a year.

Chief Supt Amanda Evely said: "Police Community Support Officers are providing high visibility patrols in all areas of our communities, and I am receiving positive feedback, praising them for the jobs they are doing.

The provision of a vehicle will make them more accessible to even more people, and I feel confident that the whole community will benefit."

Chief Supt Evely said Reed identified their value and was extremely grateful to them for this support and hopes other businesses consider sponsoring PCSOs in a similar way.
