Police 'Safer Neighbourhood Teams'

Wandsworth police have announced the details of their Safer Neighbourhood teams - an initiative funded by the Mayof of London, Ken Livingstone.

The Safer Neighbourhoods scheme was launched in April 2004 as a way of tackling grassroots problems that affect Londoners’ lives. It is designed to cut crime and make communities feel more secure, by giving particular neighbourhoods a dedicated team of six officers. Policing priorities for each team are identified through consultation with local residents, community groups and other organisations.

By August 2004 a hundred teams had been established across London, with three or more in each borough. And crime statistics show that they are making a difference: burglary down nine per cent, compared to six per cent elsewhere, robbery down ten per cent, compared to three per cent elsewhere and criminal damage down eight per cent, twice that in the rest of London.

The teams are based on a ward basis, and the contact details for the teams in Tooting wards are as follows:

Bedford - PC Neil Davenport, tel: 020 8247 8363
Earlsfield - PC John Fogg, tel: 020 8247 8759
Furzedown - PC Kiely Webb, tel: 020 8247 8363
Graveney - PS Lee Gadd, tel: 020 8247 8383
Nightingale - PC David Wilson, tel: 020 8247 8383
Tooting - PS Paul Smyth, tel: 020 8247 8006
Wandsworth Common - PC Robert Nailard, tel: 020 8247 8006

The postal address for all officers is Battersea Police Station, Battersea Bridge Road, London, SW11 3AF.
