"During the last 12 months the Metropolitan Police Service has handled some of the biggest major events in its history with the delivery of a safe and secure Queen’s Diamond Jubilee followed quickly by the Olympic and Paralympic Games – and all this combined with the regular demands of policing the UK's capital city. Here in Bromley in the last year we have investigated over 20,800 Allegations of crime, arresting nearly 8,000 people.
Whilst crime is still going down, residential burglary has increased. I appeal for householders to be vigilant. Lock your doors and windows, and please do not leave your car keys by the front door. Please do not leave valuables in your car either. These two simple things would help to reduce crime in Bromley. Car crime and burglary account for almost 30% of our total crime. Your vigilance can make a difference.
"I wish you a happy, safe and prosperous New Year".
Policing is going through some big changes and we venture into major change in 2013 with the challenge of making savings whilst maintaining public confidence. The challenge of crime never stops changing – just like London and the world we live in – so we must change too in order to provide a smarter, faster and more accessible service. The new Metropolitan Police Service will be leaner and better value for money. Our ultimate aim is to be the best police service – at cutting crime, catching criminals and being there when the public need us.
However, the fundamental principle of what we do will never change. I know you rely on us to respond quickly and effectively when you need us and that remains the number one priority for everyone working for Bromley Police.
It is important to me that we continue to work tirelessly to keep Bromley safe throughout 2013. It is still a great place to live, work and visit. I want to keep it that way.
I wish you a happy, safe and prosperous New Year".
