The only time you will see Police Officers on the street are at Football Matches and Demos

when there are Hundreds of them. No Police Officer is going to walk our local streets on their own.

I see them up Lordship. Give them a break

Yes much better to have them walking around the streets making us feel better, rather doing boring stuff like trying to solve crimes.

Oh FFS.

If you think it is so unsafe round here, why don't you do us all a favour and move somewhere else, instead of constantly posting these ridiculous statements on here.

[se22cat]

Maybe we should ask Sgt Kabukiman to join the team?

Why should I move away from here for the likes of people like you.

I'm well known on our street and popular with many of the Neighbours.

I like living here and will stay in East Dulwich in this house till i die.

Its a pity you are too high and mighty to actually talk to any of our Neighbours

Sue, I'm Sorry but you are known on our road as That Funny (Nutty) woman who doesn't speak to anybody.

People comment on how you bow your head shy away and avoid eye contact.

They do also comment on how nice and pleasant Nygel your other half is. He IS a nice social person.

I've said my piece and I am not going to get into any further dialect on the matter in this thread.

[stepdown]

I'm not sure that's a "dialect" you got into, perhaps you meant to say "pathetic ad hominem"?

[macutd]

I'm not putting down our area. I just honestly believe the area would benefit from police patrolling the area on foot.

[sheff]

Maybe if your beloved Millwall contributed more than ?15k to their ?623k policing bill each year we'd have more walking the beat.

I wouldn't waste your time, from that profile https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/profile.php?5,20317 :

For the record, I see them quite frequently walking up East Dulwich Road when I'm with the kids at the playground (weekday mornings, usually).

It's very easy to suggest that the police are not visible, but they can't be out patrolling 24/7. If you don't see them during the 10-min walk to the station in the morning or back in the evening, it doesn't mean they aren't out there. Even if you spend a couple of hours shopping on Lordship Lane every day, there's another 8-10 daytime hours when they may be patrolling.

Yes- there was one in Townley walking towards Lordship Lane last week in the mid morning , and on his own...I don't blame them for not being on the streets given the awful recent assaults and the attitude of some people

[rch]

Bear in mind that we now only have half the number of local officers than we used to have... just two PCs and one PCSO. They sometimes patrol on bicycles so that they can cover more of the ward, but this means that they are not as visible.

But, I agree that it would reassure residents more if our local officers were seen more often on Lordship Lane on foot.

What time of day do you guys think would be more high profile? Maybe between 3-5pm when most people are doing their shopping?

[rch]

Also, now that the former Maudsley offices at 20-22 Lordship Lane (by Goose Green Roundabout) are being converted into a community hub with workshops and pop up shops, there is a possibility that a private room in the back of the building could be provided for police officers and also council officers (i.e. housing, park managers, wardens and other departments) to use to take breaks and catch up with paperwork and emails while they are in the area, rather than hiking back to Peckham or Tooley Street on foot or by bus and then back to Goose Green ward again.

This would mean that police would save a lot of time travelling and therefore could spend more time on the local streets. They could also arrange meetings with residents in the meeting rooms that would be available.

Would residents support this possibility?

[first mate]

Great idea.

[Countrlass22]

Walked past Bobby on beat this afternoon in Melbourne Grove Ed area gave him a hello, kinda lost my voice so didn't hear me.

Was nice to see granted I'm not out community often.

So couldn't say if see them often or not.

Hear see there helicopters regularly though and cars usally when in hurry.

Feel sad lack budget they get.

[singalto]

I saw a police officer near ED station at school chucking out time yesterday. He just watched as dozen of children ran across the road dodging cars..

[Pugwash]

Dulwich Hill ward covers from Crystal Palace Road upto Dawsons Heights, Barry Road (part) Piermont Green and up Forest Hill Road. Since the officers are based at Gypsy Hill they face a long walk or cycle ride before they get to ED.

[goldilocks]

Not really sure what you were hoping he would do here - a) logistically it would have been difficult to stop it and b) last time i checked, abject stupidity wasn't a crime!

Goldilocks, a quick word with the children, maybe? Running through moving traffic is not just putting them at risk of an accident but also the drivers. If he can?t do anything, why be there at all?

People's expectations are nuts. He's a copper not a frigging sheepdog
