In this episode, we're joined by Roger Metcalfe, Chair of the Safer Neighbourhood Board and Inspector Jon McLoughlin of Richmond & Twickenham Safer Neighbourhoods Team.

Both Roger and Jon are working tirelessly to be constantly improving community safety around Richmond upon Thames, sitting down with Talk Richmond to discuss the various ways you can report crime, the role of the Safer Neighbourhoods Board and how our partnership approach keeps Richmond upon Thames the safest in London.

From the Richmond Safe Space to Police WhatsApp channels, we learn about what support is out there for residents, as well as how Richmond locals can support the Police and the local communities by reporting crime when they see it.
