JohnWest Yorkshire Police has introduced a new pilot in Leeds, which invites women to meet with local PCSOs to show them areas in which they feel vulnerable or unsafe in their local communities.
Walk and Talk is open to women aged 18 +,who are living/working in Leeds who wish to share their worries/concerns regarding their safety.
The ‘Walk and Talk’ will take approximately one hour and can take place at any time on a date available, for those participating.
A police spokesperson said: “We want to listen to women’s experiences and for them to feel free to share their thoughts and raise concerns.
“From these conversations we are keen to learn about any reoccurring themes and find out what we, along with our partners, can do to improve safety for women and girls. If you wish to take part, please visit our website.”
If you wish to take part, email ld.walkandtalk@westyorkshire.police.uk to find out more.
