We now have a village 'Bobby', but who is he?
Thanks to the sponsorship of a police officer by The Berkeley Leisure Group Ltd. for the West Coker Police Beat, PC 3175 lain Stamper is our village 'Bobby'.  Should you want to contact PC Stamper, you can either:
1 Leave a message for him to contact you on the Avon and Somerset Police Call Centre, telephone 01275 818181
2 Leave a message for him to contact you on his Avon and Somerset Police telephone voice mail system, telephone number 01935 402268, then dial the mail box number 73175
3 Write to him at Crewkerne Police Station, South Street, Crewkerne, TA18 8AA
or
4 On seeing him on patrol, stop

and speak to him.
Crime Stoppers tel. 0800 555111 is another way of passing information, as is contacting your Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator.  The fact that the West Coker Police Beat has a sponsored Policeman does not mean that when PC Stamper is not on duty, there is no Police cover.  Should you need the Police, then they will respond, but for non-emergencies you will be asked if your reason for calling can wait until PC Stamper is next on duty.
An emergency is an incident that requires IMMEDIATE police response,
Where there is a DANGER to life or a RISK to injury
Where a crime IS in progress
Where an OFFENDER is STILL at the scene or has JUST left it.
If the above applies dial 999 straight away.
All police contact numbers are listed in the phone book.
