Beat officers in the picture

PHOTOGRAPHS of dozens of community beat officers have been posted on the Lothian and Borders Police website in a bid to make them easier to approach for local residents.

The force posted the photos as part of its new "community commitment" scheme so residents know what their officers looks like when they have a problem.

The images of the officers can be found at www.lbp.police.uk/information/your_community/index.asp
