Belgravia Police Station

“I strongly object to Belgravia Police station public office desk being closed as part of the funding cut backs that the Metropolitan Police are being forced to make through government policy.

Whilst appreciating that much can be done online to report crime there is no substitute for having a police force both visible and approachable in the local community.

For these reasons I am adding my name and providing my particulars to ask that the Mayor and the Commissioner of Police rethink this strategy for Belgravia Police station.

Belgravia Police station building will remain as an administrative hub for the Met and therefore I would recommend the following mode of operation take effect.

Rather than keep a trained a valuable police officer on duty on the basis that a member of the public may or may not come in for support, then instead access to the front desk be granted via a front door bell for anyone seeking assistance. Any of the given police personnel inside could simply attend as and when required, freeing up a dedicated trained officer. This would in itself save the salary of a dedicated police officer to attend to live matters, but at the same time offer that security that is expected via the local resident ad business base in Belgravia.”
