Members of the public will get the chance to meet their local police team at two community meetings next month.
People from Chigwell and Waltham Abbey have been invited to talk with officers from Essex Police at the evening meetings in September.
The first will take place at the Metropolitan Police Club in High Road, Chigwell, on September 10.
The second will be held at Town Mead Sports and Social Club in Brooker Road, Waltham Abbey, on September 17.
Officers will discuss policing in the area and give people the chance to raise concerns at the meetings, which will both run from 7pm to 8pm.
