A POLICE Community Support Officer who patrols the streets of Blaenau Ffestiniog has been saluted for her work.

The praise for Delyth Edwards has come from Ann Griffith, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner for north Wales, who recently joined her on the beat in the town centre.

The mother of two was one of the first PCSOs in north Wales when she signed up in early 2005 and she’s loved every minute of the job since then.

Delyth, a former shop assistant, said: “No two days are the same. You never know when you come into work what you’ll be doing.

“Since I started here, I’ve got to know a lot of people and I work closely with a lot of charities, schools and a lot of various other organisations.

“Because we know who we’re dealing with and because we know a lot of the local population, we can go and see people face to face and sort out whatever problems there might be because we know who we’re dealing with.

“I really love my job and I certainly wouldn’t go back to working in a shop. I’m very happy doing what I’m doing.”

After being out and about on the beat with Delyth, Mrs Griffith said she was ‘very impressed’ to see how she goes about her work.
