  20. Exclusive access to police operations in the westpublished at 11:24 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2019

    Polly March
    BBC Online News, West of England @PollitaMarch

    We report on crime and crime prevention in the Avon and Somerset police force area every day, but the overall picture for how this significant resource is deployed is often difficult to portray.

    So today I’m at force HQ in Portishead and I am getting access to areas of the force the public don’t usually see.

    I’ll see officers in training and observe how firearms officers prepare for those rare events when weapons are deployed.

    I'll be sitting with 999 call handlers and attend the daily meeting, where the force decides its policing priorities for the day.

    Keep updated with these behind-the-scenes exclusives here on our #onthebeat live stream, and do tweet us your questions, comments and experiences of crime in the west @BBCBristol
