The 120 Campaign: Give Walthamstow Our Fair Share of Police, Boris!

By Stella Creasy on August 30, 2009 9:25 PM | | Comments (0)
I am supporting a new campaign to increase the numbers of police in Walthamstow. This has been triggered by a Met Police report that shows we have one officer for every 24.76 serious crimes against an average in London of one officer for every 20.12 serious crimes; to bring us up to the London average for the number of officers per serious crime we would need at least an additional 120 officers. As a consequence our borough police work hard to cover a range of difficult issues with limited resources; whether addressing gang crime in Walthamstow, drugs and firearm issues in Chingford or anti-social behaviour in Leytonstone our police force needs our support to get the officers it needs. That's why I'm joining with others including local councillors and Neil Gerrard in calling on the Met to give Walthamstow its fair share of police. If you want to support this campaign directly you can sign our petition here.
