An update on community safety matters in the Dulwich community council area.
Minutes:
Sergeant Stewart Turnbull from East Dulwich and Village wards safer neighbourhood team informed the meeting that Sgt Richard Warran from College ward had moved to another constabulary and had been replaced by Sgt Warren Gregory, who was now the new sergeant for this ward.
Sgt Turnbull made reference to the low staffing levels amongst the PCSOs in the community council area which he hoped would resolved soon.
The College SNT priorities are:
• Robbery, anti social behaviour and plain clothes patrols.
• Burglary, assurance visits conducted.
• 2 people arrested for supplying class A drugs.
The Village and East Dulwich SNT wards priorities are:
• Burglary, dramatically reduced as a result of increased patrols.
• Prevention of crime, undertaking daily school dispersal to ensure safety of children and reports of robbery in schools are currently being investigated.
• School Police Patrols, to ensure there is a presence using low key control tactics.
• Motor vehicle crime prevention, targeting the offenders.
In response to questions Sgt Turnbull confirmed the signposts for neighbourhood watch scheme had been removed from local area due to flood light improvements. He said the police had been approached but they are having difficulty getting hold of some more. In light of this the Police were advised to put in a Cleaner Greener, Safer bid in order to have them replaced.
The chair thanked Sergeant Turnbull for his presentation.
