Hi, I'm your area coordinator for Hassocks, Keymer and Clayton.  I have lived in Hassocks for more than 35 years and enjoy retirement.  If you are a street coordinator in this area and we have not met, please contact me as we need to keep our contact list up-to-date.  I'm pleased to be of service to you.
Please regularly check my current messages to Hassocks NHW coordinators.

Emma Collett - Hassocks PCSO
I would like to introduce myself as the PCSO for Hassocks, having joined Sussex Police in October 2008.  I've previously worked in customer facing roles and decided a move to a more varied and active occupation where I can help the community would be a fresh challenge.  I live locally and I'm approachable and friendly, so you're very welcome to come and speak to me when you see me out and about in Hassocks.

I hold monthly Police Surgeries to discuss local issues - next one: February
Please see my current messages to Hassocks NHW coordinators.
Latest information is also on my Hassocks local team pages.
