Police
Officers in Local Raft Race
Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) from Ware
Safer Neighbourhood Team took part in the annual Ware Raft Race on Saturday,
July 12th.
The
team, known as the ‘Row Boat Cops’ was made up of local PCSOs
Laura Caddy, Kristine Brady, Claire Wright and Nadine Ledger with two
others who helped build the raft.
The ‘Row Boat Cops’ started 9th on the grid after building their
raft in just 20 minutes and finished the race 7th out of 11 teams.
Police Community Support Officer Nadine Ledger from Ware Safer Neighbourhood
Team said: ‘It was a really enjoyable day. We had practiced building
the raft but hadn't actually been on the water with it before the day
and we were really proud that our raft stayed afloat!’
Local resident and East Herts Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator, Keith Batchelor
said:
‘The entry of a PCSO team in the annual Ware Raft Race was well received
by the local community and they deserved the applause and recognition
given by the public. It was the first time we had had an all lady team
and the first time a police team had entered.’
He added: ‘I think they deserve a very big thank you for taking part.’
