Annan Academy’s Community Constable
Annan Academy has over 1,100 pupils from across Annandale and Eskdale
and is a community in its own right.
The community
constable's role has been created
so that the police can work with partnership
agencies to create a school environment where we can reduce incidents of
crime and antisocial behaviour. It’s part of the job to make sure Annan
Academy pupils are aware of the consequences of their actions and the
negative impact that committing crimes has on them, their families and their
school.
The community constable is also tasked with improving relationships between
pupils and the police and encouraging respect and positive citizenship.
“ A large part of the day is spent patrolling the school grounds and
surrounding area to provide a reassuring presence for everyone in the
school and local community and also work with school staff and other agencies
to provide appropriate advice and assistance to anyone who needs it.
“ It’s early days for the role and there is a lot of work to be done but I
am
confident that we can make a big difference to the local community if
partnership agencies continue to work together.”
