Young People are our Future-Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour with David Aynsley

David Ainsley grew up in his early years on RAF bases and experienced some very interesting experiences in places like Bahrain. Growing up, he went on to serve for the British Army and had some very interesting stints in places like Belfast. 

David later joined the police service in Cornwall. Where he eventually became a community police Sergeant. He was doing some fantastic work changing communities for the better by working with young people, and putting in a different approach to community policing produced some actual results.

“If you can find a reason to get people in a room and just listen to what they have to say, you are halfway there to come up with a solution to the problem.  All people want is someone to listen to them”. David Aynsley
