As the last week of January is fast approaching, most people can find their New Year’s resolutions have already fallen by the wayside. If you can relate to this, perhaps it’s time to consider making a real difference in your community during 2012 and volunteering for something ‘Special’.

Become a volunteer police officer (Special Constable) with Hertfordshire Constabulary and you could kick off your year to a great start by doing something rewarding, exciting and getting the chance to develop a wide range of skills.

Police are appealing for witnesses following an assault outside the Shooting Star pub in Borehamwood at just after midnight on Friday (January 13).

Officers attended following reports of an altercation outside the venue. 

A 31 year old man from Borehamwood was taken to hospital where he remains in a critical condition.

A 36 year old man from Borehamwood has been charged in connection with the incident.

If anyone has any information on the incident please contact police on 101. Alternatively please call Crimestoppers, an independent charity, anonymously on 0800 555 111.
