Monday 1 January was a landmark date for the Met as every ward in London now has the minimum Safer Neighbourhoods (SN) model of one sergeant, two constables and three PCSOs.

These officers are dedicated to SN policing and are not abstracted from their neighbourhoods except in very exceptional circumstances.

The names, work address and contact details of each SN team officer can be obtained by any member of the public by entering their home post code in the Safer Neighbourhoods website

Chief Superintendent Bloomfield from Safer Neighbourhoods said:

"The programme has grown from approximately 1,700 officers in March 2006 to more than 3,700 officers. The recruitment, selection, training and posting of these officers has required a magnificent effort by many directorates within the Met.

"Having delivered the teams across London, now brings the real challenge of continuing to deliver the style of visible, accessible and familiar policing that we promised and to continue to deal with crime that matter most to the local communities."
