Get to know your PCSOs

Your Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) for New Bilton is:-


Frances Carty

Frances has been a Community Support Officer for seven months and previously worked at Peugeot as a production operative. Before that she was a Nursery Nurse.

When she is not working she likes to relax to a mixture of "RnB" and pop music but still finds the energy to work out at her gym, followed by a refreshing Jacuzzi. She likes to visit members of her large family of 9 sisters, a brother and 30 nephews and nieces, and if there is any time left after that she supports Coventry City Sky-Blues.








Frances has joined a rapidly growing team of Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) up and down the Country, whose role it is to be the link between the community and the Police. Their job is to patrol our neighbourhood, meeting people and gathering information on community problems such as vandalism, nuisance behaviour, and rowdiness as well as more serious matters like theft, drugs or violence.

Frances will patrol our streets and by her presence and training will discourage nuisance behaviour in a friendly and reasoning manner. However if she faces a situation that threatens to become violent, she can instantly summon the assistance of police officers by radio.

The Police cannot fight crime on their own. It needs the co-operation of all of us to help keep our streets safe and peaceful, and PCSOs are that vital link between us and the processes of law enforcement, so support your community and support your PCSO.

If you see Frances on her patrols, say hello and discuss with her any problems that occur in your area. You never know, you may be able to give vital information that will lead to a trouble maker being identified and dealt with by the police.

Community Safety Wardens – Service Aims

Rugby Borough Council currently operates a team of four Community Safety Wardens who patrol the streets and open spaces around Rugby Borough between the hours of 3.00 p.m. - 11.30 p.m., seven evenings a week. They wear luminous jackets with RBC on the back.

The wardens aim to improve the quality of life for residents and visitors to the Borough by providing a uniformed presence on the streets, which will reassure vulnerable members of the community and will help to deter anti-social behaviour.

The wardens are a mobile force and will react swiftly to reports of anti-social behaviour to intervene in incidents as they occur. In such cases, they will seek to engage perpetrators to stop the anti-social behaviour, they will gather intelligence and evidence in potential prosecution cases, and they will have a range of enforcement powers at their disposal to tackle some of the issues that they encounter.

Over time, they seek to divert anti-social members of society away from their current destructive patterns of behaviour and into more productive and meaningful activities.
The support and full involvement of the local community is fundamental to the effective implementation of the community safety wardens scheme.
