Crays Hill community team

The Crays Hill community team is a small team of Pcs and PCSOs that work closely with local residents to identify and tackle issues of concern.

The team's two Pcs and two PCSOs, led by A/Sgt Chris Hay, engage with the local community in the Crays Hill area on a daily basis.

The existence of the dedicated community policing team means that normal police resources within the Billericay and Wickford area will not be affected by activity at Dale Farm.

The team attends numerous community events such as Beat Surgeries, Neighbourhood Action Panels and local forums and encourages local residents to meet with them at these events to raise any concerns they may have. You can find details of these on the meetings and events page.

Alternatively the team can contacted on 07595013668 or by e-mail at crayshill@essex.pnn.police.uk

If there is no answer, please leave a message and a member of the team will get back to you as soon as they can.
