Safer Neighbourhoods is the Metropolitan Police's approach to community policing. It's about police, the Council and our partners working with you, to identify and tackle issues of concern in your neighbourhood.
Every one of Lewisham’s 18 wards has had a safer neighbourhood team since April 2006. Each team will eventually be made up of six police and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). Their aim is to listen and talk to you, and find out what affects your daily life and feelings of security.
These might be issues such as anti-social behaviour, graffiti, noisy neighbourhoods, yobs or vandalism. Then, they work in partnership with you and other agencies to find a lasting solution.
Safer Neighbourhoods teams are dedicated to your community and are additional to other policing teams and units in London.
Lewisham Council is funding seven PCSOs and Safer neighbourhood teams work with the Council’s Wardens Service and other council staff to jointly tackle local problems.
