Distinctive visible presence in the community

Since becoming operational in February, Cornwall’s 10 triservice safety officers (TSSOs) have become vital to the safety of communities across the county.

A new fleet of dedicated vehicles will help them to do their job more effectively and provide them with a highly visible and recognisable presence in the towns and villages they serve.

The new vehicles have been specifically fitted so TSSOs can respond to urgent medical emergencies and are also equipped to support both police and fire and rescue services in their role.

Cornwall has 10 TSSOs who have been operational since February supporting their local communities.

They primarily focus on engagement, early intervention, prevention and reducing demand for police, fire and ambulance services as well as responding to emergencies on behalf of the fire and ambulance service.

The TSSO role is jointly funded by Devon & Cornwall Police, South Western Ambulance Service (NHS) Foundation Trust and Cornwall Fire, Rescue & Community Safety Service.
