Police non-urgent, including to report a crime and so on. Either 'phone 101 or (my favourite) go on-line to Avon and Somerset Police, where you can easily and quickly report any crime and so on. cci@avonandsomerset.police.ukDanielle.Ash@avonandsomerset.police.uk Please do report crimes (even if you don't believe much will happen) - that way at least the police have some idea of the size of the local problems; which obviously has relevance to allocated resources.
