Fiona Bruce MP thanks Sergeant Russell Thomas as he leaves for a new post
Fiona Bruce MP met with Sergeant Russell Thomas recently to commend him on his work with Congleton Police over the last 3 years he has worked for the town as Community Sergeant.
Sergeant Thomas said “I have thoroughly enjoyed working with many others in Congleton from the Town Council onwards looking at problem solving and helping the community. I actually started my career here in 1986 and have always had a soft spot for Congleton. Having also worked in other places, I feel lucky to have lived and worked here. More than simply ‘fighting crime’, as the job of a Police Sergeant is never just one thing, it has been a pleasure to help the community supporting events such as the carnival and baton relay in such a lively town.”
Fiona Bruce MP said “It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Sergeant Thomas and I commend him for the excellent work he has done in the Congleton Community. His work helping to establish a Street Pastors Scheme to look after the young people of the town on nights out and his work with myself as the Town’s MP, the Town Council, schools and residents to tackle issues such as drug prevention has been invaluable. I wholeheartedly agree with him that Congleton is an excellent place to live, I have often said that it is a privilege to represent such a town in Parliament and Sergeant Thomas has played an important role in helping and protecting our community.”
