NORTH Kent residents can expect to see the faces of three new PCSOs out on the beat.

Kent police has deployed Kelly Shurmer in the Northfleet North ward, Liam Grindley in the Coldharbour ward in Northfleet, and Stephen Keers in the Castle ward of Dartford.

Mrs Shurmer, aged 26, from Dartford, was a full-time mum before she joined the police and says she is looking forward to meeting lots of people and helping while pounding the streets of her beat.

Mr Grindley, aged 18, from Chatham, studied public services before signing up to Kent police and father-of-three Mr Keers, 52, also from Chatham, worked as an engineer.
