Camden Council, in partnership with Camden Police Area Command, has launched a community safety campaign – See Something. Say Something – which aims to improve the reporting of crimes and anti-social behaviour, as well as community safety in local public spaces.
Mayor, Ashleigh Cagney, said public spaces were essential to community life, whether they be parks, town centres, or residential areas.
“By supporting this campaign, we can foster a sense of community pride and ensure that everyone, especially families, elderly residents and young people, feel safe when using shared spaces,” the Mayor said.
Commander Camden Police Area Command, Superintendent Paul Condon said issues such as vandalism, theft, and anti-social behaviour could make public areas feel unsafe.
“Our community safety campaign seeks to address these concerns by working with the community and Camden Council,” he said.
“Through this campaign we will be looking to the community to help us protect you from opportunist crime. This involves simple steps such as locking your car and homes when you’re not in them or not at home.
“We encourage the community to support this campaign by spreading the word and getting involved in reporting any crimes or anti-social behaviour,” he said.
