Neighbourhood Policing 'Making Significant Difference'
Safer Neighbourhood Teams have made a significant difference to safety and confidence across London, it has been reported.
The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is continuing to deliver effective neighbourhood policing that focuses on the safety of local people while ensuring a visible local policing presence in London communities.
In a statement the MPS said they are committed to maintaining named officers in every neighbourhood in London who are responsible for identifying and tackling local crime and anti-social behaviour.
The MPS is currently carrying out a review of Safer Neighbourhoods Teams across London.
The purpose of the review is to find better ways of using current neighbourhood policing resources to meet the needs of the local community.
It will also ensure that local police teams continue to deliver an effective and relevant service in the right place at the right times.
The review will focus on the locations of Safer Neighbourhoods teams, what they do and how they are structured. It will be carried out by gathering the thoughts and feedback of local partners, such as the local authority and members of the community.
This feedback will help plan any possible future changes.
No changes will be made without talking to local partners and community members.
Members of the public can be involved in the review by completing a questionnaire (available online).
The questions will play a valuable part in shaping plans for the future of neighbourhood policing in London.
