POLICE officers in Bromley are offering the local community a unique opportunity to experience first-hand what it is like to go out on the beat.

The strategy of Insight Patrols, where a member of the public will spend about four hours alongside a host officer, aims to show the police as welcoming all parts of the community.

At the end of the duty, accompanying an officer in his duties either on foot or by vehicle, there are opportunities to provide feedback.
