Positively deter the young community from
congregating at the stations by repeated visits to problem hot

Upcoming events
Station Surgeries (come and meet your local
Neighbourhood Policing Team)
Dates and locations to follow shortly.
PACT (Police and Communities Together)
Meetings
PACT meetings are open to everyone living or spending time in
that particular Local Policing Team area. They are planned,
advertised days when a Local Neighbourhood Officer will attend a
particular location on a given day at a given time. These
meetings provide the community with access to their Local
Neighbourhood Policing Team where they can talk on a one to one
basis about issues specific to their local neighbourhood.
The next PACT meeting is scheduled to be held on
Tuesday 3 July 2012 commencing at 10.30 am at British
Transport Police, 3 Callaghan Square, Cardiff CF10 5BT
Community Engagement
Aberfan-Merthyr Vale Positive Engagement
The Pontypridd Neighbourhood Team (PCSO Enfys
Evans) took a group of 12-15 year olds from the Aberfan-Merthyr
Vale Youth Community Project to the Arriva Trains Wales train
simulator in Cardiff in February 2012. The purpose of the visit was
to strengthen links with the project and to deliver a talk on
railway safety, as well as showing the youth group around the train
simulator. The close proximity of the Youth Community Project to
Merthyr Vale station provides a terrific opportunity to engage with
the young community in the area, which has been successfully done
for the last few years.
Rail Safety Reps Scheme
The Network Rail Safety Reps Scheme, supported
by British Transport Police, continues to gather momentum in the
South and West Wales region with a total of 17 primary schools
successfully signing up to the scheme. PCSOs from Swansea, Cardiff
and Pontypridd continue to work tirelessly to promote the scheme,
with particular emphasis being given to the primary schools that
feed the comprehensive schools that use the railway network to go
to and from that place of education. The objective is to have at
least 20 schools using the scheme before April 2012.
