Representatives from the KRRA regularly attend the quarterly meetings hosted by the local Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT). The SNT comprises Metropolitan Police officers dedicated to serving our community, with officers stationed in the Queen’s Park Ward (encompassing Kensal Rise and Queens Park) and supported by additional officers from the wider area.
During these quarterly meetings, discussions primarily revolve around pertinent issues such as burglaries, robberies, and vehicle crime within the Ward. The topics of discussion are largely data-driven, and as a result, policing priorities for the upcoming quarter are determined.
Outlined below are the current priorities for neighborhood policing across the Queens Park Ward issued on 18 April 2024:
Focus Areas
- Robbery prevention along Chamberlayne Road
