Borough Commander Joe Royle said a big thank you to his officers and staff for the performance over 2005.  He wants the people of Wandsworth to know that cutting down on anti-social behaviour and increasing the activity of Safer Neighbourhoods Team will be a priority.

Compared to the previous year, statistics over the twelve-month period revealed that crime was down by 9%, detections up by 19% and sanctioned detections up by 7%.

Joe Royle said: �I said a massive thank you to all my staff at Wandsworth and want the public to know that �Team Wandsworth' are up for the challenges that lie ahead in 2006.  We will be working with our partner agencies and the public to build on our success last year.�
