Safer Neighbourhoods is about local policing; police and partners working with you, to identify and tackle issues of concern in your neighbourhood.

Each team is normally made up of six police and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). Their aim is to listen and talk to you, and find out what affects your daily life and feelings of security. These might be issues such as anti-social behaviour, graffiti, noisy neighbourhoods, yobs or vandalism. Then, they work in partnership with you and other agencies to find a lasting solution.

Safer Neighbourhoods teams are dedicated to your community and are additional to other policing teams and units in London.

The contact details for your local Safer Neighbourhoods Team can be found at this website.

The officers on your Safer Neighbourhoods team spend most of their time out on patrol in your neighbourhood, meeting the community and identifying and dealing with those crimes and issues you have told us cause you most concern. Therefore, your team adjusts its shift pattern to address these priority issues.

Your Safer Neighbourhoods team wants to hear from you. If your call is not answered, please do leave a message on the answer phone or send them an email. A member of the team will get back to you.

Safer Neighbourhoods teams are not there to provide a 24-hour response; this is the role of response team officers. Response team officers do pass on information to Safer Neighbourhoods teams as appropriate.
