Get Involved
Do you want to get involved in making Bedfordshire an even safer
place to live? There are lots you can do from joining a local
Neighbourhood Watch scheme to signing up as a volunteer for
Bedfordshire police. Here are some of the ways you can get
involved:
Attend a Local Safer Neighbourhood Team Meeting or Surgery
By attending a local Safer Neighbourhood Team meeting you can
find out what the police are doing in your area to tackle local
priorities and crime. You can raise any concern you have,
suggest what can be done to improve a neighbourhood, find out what
the police are doing locally and get advice on how to reduce the
risk of crime to you and your property. To find your local
Safer Neighbourhood Team enter your postcode in the Safer
Neighbourhoods search facility on this page.
