Following abhorrent incidents in other parts of the country since the start of Ramadan, Nottinghamshire Police’s Head of Local Policing has reaffirmed the support of his officers during the holy month and beyond

Chief Superintendent Suk Verma said: “We work very closely with our Muslim communities here in Nottinghamshire to make sure that they are safe at all times, and that they always feel safe too.

“We recognise that Ramadan is such a special and important time and we support however we can so that this blessed, fulfilling, and rewarding period is experienced without fear or distress.
