Brian Tomlinson said
"The Safer Neighbourhood Policing Teams are a successful
innovation in fighting crime. Local Police with local knowledge,
committed to their local areas, ensure that policing is smart,
responsive, personal and highly visible.
This type of policing is our front line in Twickenham in
reducing and detecting crime, clamping down on anti-social
behaviour and creating safe communities for all Twickenham's
residents.
It is this commitment to local policing and the unprecedented
increase in police numbers that has seen crime in London fall
by more than 6% over the past year.
We now have more police in London than ever before.
The Tories have consistently opposed the spending plans that
made these improvements possible. To protect popular local
policing, we should re-elect Ken as London Mayor on 1 May.
I am hugely grateful to Sgt Denholm and her friendly team
of officers for their time and undoubted expertise."
