Bracknell

Members of the public are advised that a change is planned to the opening hours of the station duty office (front desk) at Bracknell police station in The Broadway, Bracknell town centre.

From 6 August, the Bracknell front desk will be open from 8am to 8pm, Monday to Saturday and from 9am to 5pm on Sundays.

Between these times, staff will be available to answer enquiries, check documents, deal with lost and found property and provide assistance to the public.

Maureen Waller, supervisor of the station duty office at Bracknell police station, said: “We recently carried out an analysis of usage and found that very few people come to the front desk between 8pm and 10pm, and we have therefore decided to close at 8pm.

“The change enables us to make better use of our resources and thus provide a better service to the public during the stated opening hours.

“The public are reminded that, although the front desk may be closed outside the advertised times, the police station is manned 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“In an emergency, people should call 999. To report non-urgent matters and for advice and assistance on policing issues, call the 24-hour police enquiry centre on 0845 8 505 505.
