Redbridge Parks Police

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The London Borough of Redbridge Parks Police Service was a body of constables responsible for policing the parks and open spaces in the London Borough of Redbridge. The service was headed by Chief Officer John Boylin, the former Metropolitan Police Borough Commander for Redbridge.[1] Policing was provided by two shifts, each consisting of one sergeant and six constables.[2] On 31 October 2011, the service was disbanded and replaced by a Council-funded team of Metropolitan Police officers known as the "Redbridge Community Police Team".[3]

Role

The service stated its main responsibilities were to:[2]

  • provide a safe environment for all persons visiting or working within the parks and open spaces,
  • prevent crime and anti social behaviour, but where such incidents occur take an appropriate course of action,
  • provide a visible and responsive service which helps to reduce the fear of crime and anti social behaviour,
  • provide crime prevention advice where appropriate, and
  • improve road safety.
