Introduction:
Your Residents' Association prides itself on its mutually supportive links with our local police. We have found the officers to be receptive to suggestions and proactive within our community. Our Safer Neighbourhood team (SNT) comprises a Sergeant, two PCs and three PCSO's (Police Community Support Officers). There will be significant changes to policing across London with the new Policing Model, to be introduced later in 2013. More officers will be assigned to each SNT, which will share resources with the other wards in the south (Coulsdon, Purley, Sanderstead and Selsdon), providing a longer day coverage and having an expanded role including investigations. Until this takes place the team comprising PC Joe D'Silva, PC Perry Lathwood and PCSOs Bob Cameron, Kelly Evans and Francesca Hoyle is now reporting out of Purley SNT Office (opposite Purley Station) and is managed by Sgt. Nick Tooher. The team can be contacted on 020 8721 2466. Further information about the Safer Neighbourhood Team can be found on their website: www.met.police.uk/teams/croydon/kenley . In maintaining the close relationship between the Association and the police, the sergeant or one of the officers attends the KENDRA committee meetings quarterly, as well as providing monthly update reports on crime fighting and crime prevention activities. A committee member, Phil Royse, is responsible for police liaison. In addition we have links with two other organisations. One is the Safer Neighbourhood Panel, which sets objectives for the Safer Neighbourhood Team. Phil Royse is the Association's member and Ian Waite is an elected member. The other is the Kenley Police Consultative Committee which covers a wider area and provides a real input into local policing matters.
We welcome your views concerning security issues and strongly encourage you to report any acts of crime. This reporting directly influences the allocation of police resources. As an aid to reporting local crime, you may complete and submit a Crime Reporting Sheet , which along with instructions on how to fill it out, may be viewed and downloaded by clicking on the links. |

Kenley Safer Neighbourhood Community Panel:
Kenley Ward has an active Safer Neighbourhood Community Panel; this comprises around a dozen residents and local business people, including a youth member and two members for KENDRA. It meets quarterly in the KMH to discuss crime and policing with our SNT and to agree priorities for the police. For further information about KSNCP please contact either our local police (020 8721 2466) or email policeliaison@kenleyra.org.uk . Neighbourhood Watch:
