A TOP cop in Sandwell is inviting the public to talk to him about policing in the borough. tomorrow.

Superintendent Bas Javid is inviting the public to send him questions or raise any issues that affect them or their family as part of a live online web chat. 

Residents and visitors can question live through the Sandwell Police website between 5.30pm and 7pm.

Superintendent Javid, who is responsible for neighbourhood policing, said: "There are lots of people in our community who will never be able to make it to a residents' meeting because the time or venue isn't right for them.

"Therefore, I am keen to offer an alternative way for people to talk to me about local issues.

"If you have any questions about your neighbourhood or even if you have a burning question that you have already always wanted to ask the police check out the web chat."

Questioners can remain completely anonymous and they do not have to register. All questions asked will be viewable and anyone interested who misses the live chat can replay the event.
