City of London Police launch an enhanced neighbourhood policing model
5 November 2020
As part of the City of London Police’s key ambition to ensure the Square Mile remains one of the safest cities in the world, they have launched a policing model known as ‘Sector Policing’.
The City has been split into two ‘Sectors’, East and West, with a senior leader responsible for each sector. The Sectors are broken down further into three ‘clusters’ comprised of several, smaller wards and every cluster will have its own Dedicated Ward Officers. They will be the main point of contact for residents and businesses.
Some of the key benefits include:
- Deliver a better policing service and give confidence to the community.
- Improve police visibility within the Square Mile.
- Put the community at the forefront of policing activity, enabling residents and businesses to communicate directly with officers.
This model is designed with the local community in mind, giving residents and businesses a single point of contact for their area. It will also help the force’s response to live-crime, as well as long-term issues and emerging threats specific to each area.
