How it works
If you have concerns about a place where you live or work, please drop us a line. A female police officer will meet you at the location you have concerns about, then walk with you to hear more about it. The officer will listen to you and take note of your concerns so that, together with community partners, we can start tackling some of the issues.

StreetSafe app
