Police Chief Inspector, Rob Harper will be present to talk about the proposed restructuring of the Safer Neighbourhoods Teams in Southwark.
Minutes:
Chief Inspector Rob Harper was present to introduce this item.
The Chief Inspector spoke about his role and responsibilities for all Safer Neighbourhood Teams in the Borough, the Safer School and Public Transport schemes.
He confirmed that there is to be a review of all SNTs which involves seeing how each one is resourced and whether it has the best structure for each ward – particularly for those wards that might experience some higher levels of crime in comparison to other neighbouring wards.
The Chief Inspector was hopeful that frontline services would not be axed which is the reason why he would like to hear the views of local residents. Questionnaires were available at the meeting for residents to complete and were encouraged to attend their local ward panel meetings. The general consensus was that the present model on community policing works well in the Dulwich area.
The chair thanked Chief Inspector Rob Harper for attending the community council meeting.
