ROSS-on-Wye’s policing team have been joined by a new face.

Community support officer (CSO) Jim Cooke has joined the Ross Town local policing team to assist PC Mark Murphy and CSO Paul Cowmeadow in addressing issues within the town.

Jim, 23, said: “I like working with people and wanted to do something a little different and this seems to fit the bill perfectly.”

A former nurse and care worker, Jim has already been learning the ropes from colleagues and getting to know the locals.
