A public surgery will be held with North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Andy Dunbobbin at Wrexham Library on Rhosddu Road on July 3, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm.
The event is designed to bring policing closer to the public and give people the chance to raise concerns or comments directly with the commissioner and police representatives.
Mr Dunbobbin said: "I'm pleased to be engaging directly with the residents of Wrexham and surrounding areas on issues that matter to them, alongside North Wales Police.
"My public surgeries are a chance for the community to voice their concerns and share their ideas.
"It's all about bringing policing closer to the people we serve.
"I'm looking forward to meeting with residents, hearing their perspectives, and working together to ensure North Wales remains a safe, vibrant and secure place to live.
"I encourage anyone who wants to, to book a place and to have their voice heard."
Each attendee will be given a 20-minute private meeting with the commissioner, who will be joined by staff from his office and North Wales Police.
The team will offer advice or direct residents to other agencies where appropriate.
No other members of the public will be present during the meetings to ensure confidentiality.
The surgery follows the launch of Mr Dunbobbin's second Police and Crime Plan in January 2025, which set out priorities including visible neighbourhood policing, support for victims and communities, and a fair and effective criminal justice system.
The commissioner has four main duties: setting policing priorities, deciding the police budget, representing public views, and holding the Chief Constable to account.
Surgeries are by appointment only to ensure matters raised relate to policing, crime, or community safety, and to give the commissioner time to prepare.
While the commissioner cannot intervene in operational police matters, he welcomes public feedback on how North Wales is policed.
Complaints about individual police officers or staff cannot be addressed during the surgery and must go through formal complaints channels.
