NEW dedicated police officers are due to work from a new hub for the emergency services. Cumbria Police has welcomed the opening of south Cumbria’s first Blue Light Hub, where police officers will work from April 1. The officers being placed in Ulverston will be the newest team to join the pilot programme of reintroducing local officers being deployed from the rural communities in which they serve. A new dedicated community officer has also been placed in Dalton. The initial pilot areas were Ambleside, Windermere, Brampton and Longtown which was then extended to include Keswick, Millom, Wigton, Appleby and Kirkby Stephen and Alston.
