Dear Watch Member,
Today the Watford and Hertsmere Safer Neighbourhood Teams were out in full force on the Meriden Estate in Watford. We are aware of some concerns from some members of the public regarding crime in the estate and it was our aim to get more information today. We were stationed at the main entrances and exit of the estate and speaking to as many people as possible, gathering more information regarding the concerns that people of the area have and at the same time disrupting any crime, being a presence and gathering intelligence.
Officers were in the area for 5 hours and stopped around 800 people, we received a great deal of information from many of those stopped and the team would like to thank everyone for their time and cooperation. If you didn’t see us today and would like to give us any information that you have, please do not hesitate to get in contact with us, either by replying to myself, calling us on 101 or visiting www.herts.police.uk/report and using our online reporting feature. Alternatively if you wish to remain anonymous you can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or use their online reporting form at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
Thank you very much for your time, I look forward to hearing any information you may have.
PCSO Ben James 6490 Watford Safer Neighbourhood Team.
