The number of safer neighbourhood police officers in London has fallen by 64% since 2015, according to research from the House of Commons library.Safer neighbourhood teams are groups of police officers dedicated to serving a specific community.
The research, commissioned into a report by Liberal Democrat MP for Richmond Park, Sarah Olney, shows that the Met has seen one of the largest declines in safer neighbourhood officers across the country. "Burglaries, muggings and car thefts aren't stopped by response units. It's the fear that an officer could be round the corner at any moment that deters crime."
