A DELEGATION of Dutch Police officers visited Herefordshire to discuss issues such as policing in rural areas.

Five officers from Eindhoven's Politie Brabant Zuid-Oust spent the day at Hereford police station on Thursday, November 8, as part of a three-day exchange with West Mercia Constabulary.

They met with Chief Inspector Mark Turner and Sergeant Dave Llewellin.

"I am delighted to welcome our Dutch colleagues and hope they enjoyed their visit as much as we did," said chief Insp Mark Turner.

"Police forces get a great deal out of exchange visits such as this and we are grateful to Politie Brabant Zuid-Oust for allowing these officers to spend time with us."
