Wrexham: Public invited to share views on policing with PCC
A public surgery will be held with North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Andy Dunbobbin at Wrexham Library on Rhosddu Road on July 3, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm.
The event is designed to bring policing closer to the public and give people the chance to raise concerns or comments directly with the commissioner and police representatives.
Mr Dunbobbin said: "I'm pleased to be engaging directly with the residents of Wrexham and surrounding areas on issues that matter to them, alongside North Wales Police.
"My public surgeries are a chance for the community to voice their concerns and share their ideas.
"It's all about bringing policing closer to the people we serve.
"I'm looking forward to meeting with residents, hearing their perspectives, and working together to ensure North Wales remains a safe, vibrant and secure place to live.
"I encourage anyone who wants to, to book a place and to have their voice heard."
Each attendee will be given a 20-minute private meeting with the commissioner, who will be joined by staff from his office and North Wales Police.
The team will offer advice or direct residents to other agencies where appropriate.
No other members of the public will be present during the meetings to ensure confidentiality.
The surgery follows the launch of Mr Dunbobbin's second Police and Crime Plan in January 2025, which set out priorities including visible neighbourhood policing, support for victims and communities, and a fair and effective criminal justice system.
The commissioner has four main duties: setting policing priorities, deciding the police budget, representing public views, and holding the Chief Constable to account.
Surgeries are by appointment only to ensure matters raised relate to policing, crime, or community safety, and to give the commissioner time to prepare.
While the commissioner cannot intervene in operational police matters, he welcomes public feedback on how North Wales is policed.
Complaints about individual police officers or staff cannot be addressed during the surgery and must go through formal complaints channels.

RuPaul's Drag Race star The Vivienne died by 'misadventure', inquest finds
An inquest has found drag queen The Vivienne did not intend to take their life when they died after taking ketamine. A coroner concluded The Vivienne, whose real name is James Lee Williams, died by "misadventure. Williams, who won the first series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK in 2019 and was found dead at the age of 32 at their home in Cheshire on 5 January this year. In March, the star's family revealed the performer had died "from the effects of ketamine use causing a cardiac arrest", saying they wanted to raise awareness about the dangers of the drug. The opening of an inquest into the death of Williams at Cheshire Coroner's Court in Warrington in February heard they were found dead in the bathroom of their home in Chorlton-by-Backford, near Chester. Police attended and confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances. Williams's funeral in Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire, North Wales, was attended by RuPaul's Drag Race UK contestants Tia Kofi and Baga Chipz, along with Steps singer Ian "H" Watkins, TV personality Kim Woodburn and Coronation Street actress Claire Sweeney. During their time on the show, under their drag name, Williams admitted having been a drug addict for four years. "It was party, drugs, but I couldn't leave the drugs at the party, it was constant for me," they said. They added that their addiction was a "habit that caught on a bit too quick and a bit too hard". The TV personality, who grew up in Colwyn Bay, North Wales, before moving to Liverpool, came third in the 2023 edition of Dancing On Ice. The star performed as the Wicked Witch of the West in a UK and Ireland tour of The Wizard Of Oz musical and reprised the role in the West End at the Gillian Lynne Theatre last year. They were due back on stage in March as the Childcatcher in a tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a role they first played last year. The government is seeking expert advice after illegal use of ketamine surged to record levels. In the year ending March 2023, an estimated 299,000 people aged 16 to 59 had reported use of the substance, which is controlled as class B, according to the Home Office.
