In a groundbreaking move, Hammersmith & Fulham Council has announced plans to fund round-the-clock neighbourhood policing.
Hammersmith & Fulham Council is the first local authority in the country to work with their local police force to trial local neighbourhood policing, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
In a unique move, Hammersmith & Fulham Council is pumping in £1.5 million over two years to test market round the clock neighbourhood beat policing for residents in a high crime ward.
Architect of the plans and Cabinet Member for Crime & Anti-social Behaviour, Councillor Greg Smith, said: "Criminals don't operate on shift patterns so neither should the police. That's why were working with the Met and providing £1.5 million over two years to trial 24/7 neighbourhood policing.
"This experiment is a massive sea change and a hugely ambitious project for a local authority to start. It will immediately benefit the residents in the test area and ultimately residents across the whole of Hammersmith & Fulham."
