Plaistow and Sundridge Safer Neighbourhood Team Meeting

Safer Neighbourhood Team - Meeting on Thursday March 11th
A few key points from last night’s meeting.
It was agreed that the police team should target thefts from vehicles, as their top priority
Neighbourhood patrols currently end at 12:00 midnight, these will be extended until 03:00
Most vehicle thefts are used to fund drug purchases, so this activity will also be addressed as a priority
In the majority of cases, there is no sign of forced entry, so residents are reminded to make sure that their vehicles are locked at all times
More patrols will be conducted in ‘plain clothes’, so as to apprehend rather than scare off the perpetrators
Work on the ZPods will commence on Monday March 15th
No further information is currently available with regard to the impact on policing levels, of the ward boundary changes
I hope this is useful
Regards.
Roy on behalf of LERA
