Have your say on Watford’s new policing priorities

The Waford Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) would like to hear from the community as they prepare to decide the town's next set of policing priorities.

The team is split across three ‘beat’ areas – Watford North, Watford Outer and Watford Central – where officers regularly review their priorities using police intelligence as well as information provided by the public and partners.

The SNT is tasked with fixing short and long-term neighbourhood issues such as anti-social behaviour. They work closely with local partners including the council, housing associations and schools to achieve this.

Inspector Dan Jones, who leads the team, said: “As we start thinking about the next set of priorities, it’s important that we hear from residents. What do you think we should focus on? Is there a particular problem that you would like us to prioritise?

“We want to know your views and will take them into consideration when we set the new priorities. Please let us know using echo, our online community voice platform, by Thursday 3 August. We will review all the information we receive, and our new priorities will be announced shortly after.”

Visit the Watford echo page (opens in a new window) to submit your feedback completely anonymously. However, please give us as much information about the issues as you can – dates, times, and locations of incidents are very important.
