Sidcup SNT

WORKING TOWARDS PROVIDING SAFER NEIGHBOURHOODS

Safer Neighbourhood Teams are typically made up of two police officers and one police community support officer. They are responsible for a designated area called a ward. Sidcup SNT work various shifts including some weekends. Neighbourhood officers are non- emergency officers & do not work 24/7. Our typical day to day work involves both foot and mobile patrols of the ward, investigation of low level crime & working with partner agencies, local schools/residents and businesses to try and tackle problems which arise within the ward, for example anti-social behaviour, low level theft, low level criminal damage etc.

We are available for crime prevention advice or reassurance patrols/visits where needed & occasionally hold public engagement events such as catalytic converter/bike marking to name a few.

Our current priorities are set by a ward panel consisting of residents & those who work on Sidcup ward who meet quarterly. The priorities are to tackle violent crime, burglary & antisocial behaviour. Over the past year the team have spent time tackling vehicle crime, in particular catalytic converter theft by doing both high visibility patrols, covert operations, set up various roadside stop sites around the borough, conducted unannounced visits on scrap metal yards with Bexley Council & marking catalytic converters for free on cars.

If you would like to speak with your local ward officers you can do so using the details provided and we will be happy to assist where we can.
