Hello to all our St Helier Community Safe Members
How can we make Merton safer?
Safer Merton is your local Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership. The partners include a range of agencies such as the police, council and fire brigade, who work together to reduce problems in the borough relating to crime, anti-social behaviour and drug and alcohol misuse.
By March 2010 Safer Merton will have completed it's third borough wide Strategic Assessment. This assessment examines all the crimes that have happened in Merton in order to help us set the Partnership's priorities for 2010/11. To help inform this decision making process we would really appreciate your views and for you to tell us what your top three concerns and priorities are in relation to community safety. Below is an email address for a very short form to enable you to provide us with your comments. It should only take a couple of minutes to complete.

Justice Seen, Justice Done Campaign
Justice Seen, Justice Done is a Home Office Neighbourhood Crime and Justice programme that aims to improve public confidence in how crime is tackled and justice delivered. It’s a national campaign – raising awareness and understanding of what the public can expect from the police and other agencies, making sure local priorities are tackled and demonstrating that there are tough, visible consequences for those who break the law.
During this campaign your local Safer Neighborhoods Team will be informing you of achievements that have occurred in particular in relation to the Ward priorities set by the Ward Panel and also the Policing Pledge.
The campaign is centered on the concept of ‘We Asked, You Said, We Did’ The team will continue to deal with any public suggestions made by residents.
The St Helier team can be contacted either by email MertonStHelier.snt@met.police.uk or telephone 0208 649 3575 in relation to this email or any other matters that are affecting the local community.
