Welcome to Safer Neighbourhoods… a new era in policing. As London’s most ambitious and far-reaching community safety strategy, this programme offers:

• Neighbourhood-based policing across the capital
• A dedicated team of officers for each neighbourhood, consisting of one sergeant, two constables and three police community support officers (PCSOs)
• Local communities a real say in deciding the priorities for that area, allowing the Met to provide local solutions to local problems, whilst maintaining a focus on reducing priority crime
• A Safer Neighbourhoods team in every neighbourhood in London by 2008 (subject to funding)
