PCSO Perkins was nominated by his Llandudno colleague who said: “No matter where you go in the town, members of the community, young and old, approach you and say how highly they think of PCSO Chris Perkins.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“Chris is always willing to listen to and help members of the public. This has been witnessed first-hand whilst out on the beat; he has an infections sense of humour and a great communication style.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Recently Chris has taken up the challenge of helping set up and run the Police Cadets in the Llandudno area. He always gives 100% and is willing to assist colleagues if he sees them struggling with anything. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
