We the undersigned call on the Police and Crime Commissioner to urgently reinstate a walk-in front desk at St Albans Police Station.

The volume of support has now reached a point that forces a formal response from the Commissioner. I am currently finalizing a meeting request with their office to discuss the reinstatement of the front desk.

Our police presence in St Albans was formerly represented by an easily-found building in the centre of town, which was reassuring to many. This is a town / district of 150,000 people and deserves a more tangible representation of our police force.
Totally shocked to find a door with the instruction, Do Not Knock. An appalling situation.
we need a real Police Station, not a hot desk in the council offfice and a phone for "out of hours"
Elderly people cannot always talk over the phone or use the internet. They should not be expected to travel an hour on a bus to report a crime.
The lack of a full time police desk in a city with a population the size of St Albans is in itself criminal Look at the local crime figures just to see why.
We need a physical point of contact
It is astonishing that in a city the size of St Albans there is no way to contact the police face to face

It's a massive safety issue not having a front office. How many vulnerable and/ or elderly have a safe place to report a crime they have experienced, without further endangering themselves?
