There should be a Safer Neighbourhood Ward panel for every one of the 23 voting wards of the Royal Borough of Greenwich.  They meet on a regular basis, in your community. 

​

The Ward Panels are attended by the local Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team known as Dedicated Ward Officers (DWO).  The meetings themselves are led by a community member, known as the Chair.

​

The function of the Safer Neighbourhood Panels is to:

:

• Set, and oversee, the priorities of the Ward Safer Neighbourhoods Team.

• Review these priorities on a regular basis and change them if necessary.

• Act as community representatives identifying issues of local concern which create fear of crime or affect the quality of life in an area.

• Assist the police and the community with engagement and information flow.

• Assist with problem solving and crime prevention activity.

• Provide the community with information on the status of, and progress with, the Ward team priorities.

​

They will keep you, the community, posted and updated on their work and ask community members to join and participate in them.
