We've partnered with the Romford Town Centre police team by investing in undercover bikes to boost town security! 🚨 These new bikes will help officers respond faster to crime and tackle anti-social behaviour, keeping our town safer for everyone. In just 40 minutes, two arrests were made for Class A drug possession – proof that this initiative is already working! 🗣 Sergeant Aaron Harris, Romford Town Centre team said: “We use different tactics to combat crime in the town centre. Use of these bikes when we are patrolling in plain clothes will give us the ability to respond to calls faster and will put us a far better position to stop and apprehend criminals. Crime in our Town Centre will not be tolerated and anyone committing crimes against local people, visitors or business will be seeing us soon. We will continue to use every resource available to us to make Romford Town Centre unattractive to criminals.” 🗣 Julie Frost, Romford BID Director said, “I truly hope this initiative helps visitors and our community feel safer, knowing that steps are being taken to address anti-social behaviour and prevent crime. By working together with the local police force, we're committed to restoring confidence and making Romford a welcoming and enjoyable place to live, work, and visit. A big thank you to Smyths as well for generously offering a discount on the bikes we purchased.” To find out more about town safety visit our website! www.romfordbid.co.uk Metropolitan Police #Romford #RomfordBID #Havering #TownSafety #Police
