I wanted to provide you an update regarding robbery, which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey. Good Morning,
Hope you all enjoyed your Christmas and looking forward to the new year. As we soon return to school following the Christmas holidays, local safer neighbourhood teams will be carrying out additional patrols especially during pick up/drop off times. This is to help keep children safe and deter any opportunistic crime.
We would kindly like to remind parents and carers to speak with their children about personal safety and to consider not bringing valuable or expensive items to school as these can sometimes bring unwanted attention.
Simple steps such as staying with friends, being aware of surroundings, and travelling directly to and from school can help reduce risk.
If you see anything suspicious or have concerns, please report it via 101, in an emergency, always call 999.
Thank you for your support in helping us keep our young people safe.
Kind Regards,
PCSO Ali
