Local residents are invited to attend Safer Neighbourhood Ward Panel meetings, which are held regularly for Chadwell Heath and Whalebone Wards. If you have any ongoing issues affecting your community which police may be able to help with, the Ward Panel meetings are a good place to discuss these. Such issues may even become a police priority/promise, which involves a commitment from local officers to deal with elected local issues. We would also like to encourage younger people to attend these meetings and give us their view on local issues.These meetings also provide residents with information about the most recent crimes in their specific area.
