Neighbourhood policing comes to Chalvey, Slough
The next phase of the roll-out of neighbourhood policing in Slough will go live next week.
The new style of community policing will be introduced to residents of Chalvey at a launch meeting at Brook House, Spackmans Way, Chalvey, Slough on Monday 16 April.
Insp Ken Patterson, who heads the neighbourhood policing team for Chalvey, Slough said: “Through neighbourhood policing we will be working with local people to identify the issues which affect the community’s sense of security, and then working together to tackle those problems. This process will be achieved via neighbourhood forums and neighbourhood action groups (NAGs).
“Neighbourhood policing is a partnership initiative, as many of the problems identified may not be purely policing issues. For example, people may be concerned about anti-social behaviour and graffiti, both of which are dealt with jointly by the local authority and the police. Hopefully, by all working together we can make people feel safer, more secure and involved in what happens in their neighbourhood.
“The launch meeting for residents of Chalvey starts at 7pm. We hope that as many people as possible will come along to meet their neighbourhood policing team and find out about how they can get involved in this new initiative.”
"It is very important that as many residents as possible come along - as their input is vital if we are to get a real picture of priorities in the area".
