An update on community safety matters in the Dulwich Community Council area.
Minutes:
Sergeant Turnbull submitted his apologies at this meeting.
Sergeant Warran from College safer neighbourhood team provided an update on community safety matters and outlined the SNTs ward priorities for College, East Dulwich and Village:
Residential burglaries: SNTs are providing crime prevention leaflets and delivering notices to premises to those that are most vulnerable. It was reported that two males had been arrested and one recently charged with three burglaries in the Dulwich area.
Theft from motor vehicles: Crime prevention measures offered to car owners around the area.
Anti-social behaviour: Involving drugs around the Peckarman’s Wood area the police stopped vehicles and searched for drugs. It was announced that a police surgery would take place on Monday 28 November 2011 at the TRA Hall on Dawson Heights Estate.
Sergeant Warran took questions from the audience on raising the priority of traffic policing, the high level of burglaries in the East Dulwich area and whether the change in shift and joined up SNTs might have affected the rise.
In response Sergeant Warran stated that speed monitoring equipment was frequently used and fixed penalty notices were issued to motorists caught speeding. In relation to reported burglaries these are routinely monitored by the SNTs, he agreed to feedback these concerns to Sergeant Turnbull.
The chair thanked Sgt Warran for his presentation.
