17 Buckden Roundabout September 2024 Village News Buckden Neighbourhood Watch Sometimes due to the demand there can be delays in con- tacting the police via 101. I would like to introduce you to a scheme which can help if you have difficulty communicating with the police. Pegasus is a free scheme and, once registered, you will be sent a card with PIN number that is unique. When you register you will be asked some simple questions about yourself and how best the police should communicate with you. If you need the police, you can just call, go in person or use the police website, then say ‘’ Pegasus ’’ or ‘’ Peg ’’ and tell the po- lice your name, or your PIN or show your card. Then the police will find out how best to communicate with you by looking at your details on the police secure database. We hope this will make communicating with police easier for those who need to. For more information about the scheme, or to register, visit the dedicated section on the police website ( https:// tinyurl.com/4suwrypx ). Alternatively, email pega- sus@cambs.police.uk.
