A right Royle start!
Chief Superintendant Joe Royle has made an excellent start as Wandsworth's new Borough Commander.
I have seen at first hand how he has hit the ground running. I spent a couple of hours with the new Borough Commander last Saturday when he joined me and Special Constable Fred Ahmed MBE on a visit to local retailers and businesses. He showed real enthusiasm and interest as he also toured the Tooting Islamic Centre and the Khalsa Centre.
He also took time to attend the thought provoking and moving Holocaust Memorial Day event at Graveney school. He has also made a special effort to meet and listen to many stakeholders since he first joined us a few weeks ago.
With the Metropoilitan Police now having record numbers of frontline officers and, locally, with us having extra Police community safety officers and street wardens it is encouraging that we have a Boriough commander who is so obviouly committed to ensuring that we all continue to have as crime free a quality of life as is possible.
