The Wandsworth Safer Neighbourhood Teams Page - Safer Neighbourhood Teams have been set up. These units are groups of dedicated officers, both police officers and community support officers, assigned to a ward. The idea is that they will be more or less permanent fixtures and should not normally be taken off the ward for duties elsewhere. This page has a list of the teams, photos of the officers and contact details.

The Metropolitan Police Key Holder Database - if your property has an audible alarm, you are legally obliged under the London Authority Act 1991 to register all key holders with the police. This is the system now used by the Metropolitan Police. You can still use this system even if you do not have an alarm but want to register your key holders. A key holder database has been set up to enable the police, London boroughs and emergency services to contact your key holders more easily in the event of an incident at your property. Details of every property, with or without an alarm, and those who hold keys to your home can be registered on this database. Free registration is only available to alarmed properties and only by calling 0800 197 7711. Premium registration is available by phone and online.
