Meet your local Policeman

PC Bill WilliamsHello, I am PC Bill Williams, your Safer Neighbourhood Officer. I am currently stationed at Stockbridge Police Station but have worked in the Test Valley area for the last 30 years or so. I left school in Farnborough, Hampshire, in 1977 and joined the Army Air Corps. I was never actually based at Middle Wallop but I did many courses there including my Observers course and the conversion to Beaver fixed wing flying for a tour of Northern Ireland.

I am married to Terry and we have three grown up children, our youngest is just joining the RAF. I left the Army in 1988 and joined Hampshire Constabulary the same year. I have served the county over the last 21 years in Andover, Winchester, Romsey and Weyhill, working in uniform and civilian clothed positions. Between 1994 and 2000 I was the area School Liaison Officer delivering the police and Hampshire Education Authority 'Getting it Right' package to 46 schools in our area.

I have been in the Safer Neighbourhood Team since 2005 and my 'Patch' includes Monxton, Amport, Grateley, Penton, Appleshaw, Redenham, Clanville, Weyhill, Thruxton, Fyfield, Kimpton and Shipton Bellinger. I am currently helping to revitalise 'Farmwatch' in our area.

If anyone would like to see me or speak to me, I can be contacted at Stockbridge Police Station via 0845 045 4545 - you can telephone me on the above number and ask to be put through to my radio, if I am on duty, or you can contact me by e-mail via bill.Williams@hampshire.pnn.police.uk. I will endeavour to reply to all forms of contact but please be patient, I look after a large piece of Hampshire and I also take leave and rest days so you won't always get an immediate reply.

Bill Williams, PC 1039, Safer Neighbourhood Team, Stockbridge Police Station, 0845 045 4545

July News

We live, so the statistics tell us, in a low crime rate area.  This will not help those that have been the victims of crime, but it probably does mean that we are conscious of our own personal security and that of our property, and take steps to improve or maintain it.  The police continue to warn and advise us, believing that prevention is the best weapon against potential criminal activity.  The good weather means; checking the security of our house when we are enjoying the garden; closing all the windows when we go out; not leaving valuables on show in our vehicles.

The police are continuing their crime prevention policy by holding a Crime Prevention Day at Andover Police Station on Saturday 18 July between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.  It is being held in the car park at the rear of the police station with a variety of stands that will be of interest to all age groups. There will be activities to encourage the children and lots of good advice for the adults.
