Avon & Somerset Police are inviting women to meet with female police officers or PCSOs to show them areas in which they feel vulnerable or unsafe in their local communities.
The initiative was initially launched as a trial in Somerset in September 2023.
It was rolled out in South Gloucestershire last month and is now available throughout the force’s area.
Walk and Talk lead for Bath and North East Somerset, Sgt Michelle Munro, said: “We are pleased to announce that we are now able to offer Walk and Talk experiences to women over the age of 18 who live or work within the Bath and North East Somerset area.
“This initiative is a way for women to share any concerns they have in their local community with a female police officer or PCSO during an informal chat.
“We will be able to answer any questions they have and can respond to any concerns they raise by increasing patrols in certain areas, or working with our partner organisations to make improvements where possible.”
