Policing and Crime Commission – Call for written evidence

H&F Logo

I am chairing an independent commission, set up by H&F Council, looking at policing and crime in Hammersmith and Fulham.  We are presently at the evidence gathering stage and want to hear your views on what we should be focussing on over the coming months before we report back to the Council and the Police with recommendations for action.

A ‘call for written evidence’ is a request for views, opinions and research that can help to inform a commission’s discussions and deliberations, and its conclusions and recommendations at the end of the evidence gathering process.

What the commission wants to know is what most concerns residents and organisations about crime and policing in the borough and why.  What is your experience of crime and policing and what do you think needs to be done to tackle it in H&F?

This is the link to the article announcing the launch of the Commission on the H&F website:

https://www.lbhf.gov.uk/articles/news/2018/12/independent-resident-led-policing-and-crime-commission-begins

If you want to submit written evidence to the Commission, please send an email to monica.roucou@lbhf.gov.uk

setting out your views, opinions and/or any research that you think will assist the Commission by 10 February. Your submission for evidence is important to us, as we want to take a holistic and comprehensive approach to tackle crime in our borough.

Kind regards,
Adam Matan OBE
Chair, Policing and Crime Commission
