Dear Members
Please see details of the very successful meeting held at Stoneleigh Baptist Church Hall.
Our Epsom & Ewell North Police Team certainly excelled with their detailed presentations on the night giving us a full encounter of all responsibilities associated to NHW followed at the end by Inspector Craig Knight providing us with the responsibilities for the Co-ordinators.
As some of you were unable to attend the meeting, appreciate if you would take a little time to play back the amateur video clips taken by Betty De Souza as you will certainly see all what the Police force do to help make our towns and homes 'A SAFER PLACE' where Inspector Craig Knight certainly and positively put across his true grit message how dedicated and committed the Police Force are in supporting our Neighbourhoods.
Inspector Craig Knight also explained Borough, Area and Street Co-ordinators responsibilities where details are posted below.
Benny says ... now that I know my responsibilities as Street Co-ordinator, I will soon be arranging a get-together at our home where we can all put together a good safe plan with the interest of looking after our homes on Parklands Way. (I certainly have a few suggestions awaiting your approval).
To conclude, special thanks to Superintendent Matt Bristow for his splendid Opening Presentation and many thanks to our local police team of PC Dan Doherty, PCSO Graham Freeman and Chris Wright for inviting us to attend the Launch meeting, which Betty & I certainly enjoyed being part of the team supporting in our little way.
Special thanks to Graham for spending time helping in putting together the Power Point slideshow, and with very special thanks to our Inspector Craig Knight for providing his great slides which I understand from Graham were prepared by himself at his own home. (We know where to go for a good Power Point production).
It was also a pleasure personally meeting Samantha Page - NTC Surrey Police and Fruzsina Toth - Crime Prevention Advisor whom all make up our local Epsom & Ewell North Police team.
P.S. I will be providing details of the Launch Meeting to include video clips of all the presentations on a DVD for those interested to view on your TV screen which has a better audio sound system. This will be ready next week (time permitting).
Regards
Benny De Souza
(Parklands Way Street Co-ordinator)

Overview of the Neighbourhood Watch Meeting 28/09/2012
- Superintendent Matt Bristow
Superintendent
Matt Bristow opened up the evening and introduced the Team. The role that
Superintendent Bristow plays within the Neighbourhood Team was discussed, and
how important it is to all work together. He has the professional role of
overseeing the Neighbourhood Team here in Epsom and he really supports everyone
involved in Neighbourhood Watch.
- Inspector Craig Knight
Epsom
Borough Inspector, Craig Knight was then introduced and explained how
Neighbourhood Watch should be working within Epsom and the expectations of the
Co-Ordinator. Inspector Knight explained how important it is that every element
of Neighbourhood Watch is present for it to work effectively, such as an
“Active” member keeping an eye out in the area, the people passing the
information to Police and other residents and getting the response needed to
catch the criminals. As Inspector Knight stated more eyes present keeping a
look out the better, to help Police be in the right place and at the right
times.
A
short audio clip was then played, the audio talked about the real life
experience of a victim of a Burglary and the impact this had on her at the time
and even now.
The
Police are paid to be Police and the public are unpaid Police. We need your
help.
Tea Break
- Fru Toth (Crime Reduction Officer)
Fru
was then introduced to explain her role as a Crime Reduction Officer and what
she offers to Neighbourhood Watch, such as Free Surveys of your house if you
are burgled; she will come around and try and help advise you if there are any
better or different security measures that can be taken to avoid anything like
that happening again. Fru gave information on stickers and the signs you should
be given to help you in your role.
4
Sam Page (Neighbourhood Team
Co-Ordinator)
I
was then introduced to discuss what I do and my role within Neighbourhood
Watch. My main goal is to be here for you and to act as an admin liaison
between you and the officers. I will be here to help and give advice as much as
possible and am here to arrange for any visit or extra contact you may need
from your officers. Equally I am here to gather your information and
intelligence and send on appropriately.
5. PC Dan Doherty
PC Dan Doherty then explained his role as
your local Police Officer
and described what has been done already
to get neighbourhood
Watch started. To begin with there were a
limited number of streets
that had Neighbourhood Watch and Dan explained
that now most
streets have a Co-Ordinator and are
involved in some way in
Neighbourhood Watch; which is a major
achievement.
6 PCSO Graham Freeman
Graham
then talked about his role as your local Police Community
Support Officer, and the sponsorship needed
to help with
Neighbourhood Watch, luckily we have had
enormous support from
Budgens which has made it possible to get
more signs and stickers out
to you all and they have even been kind
enough to offer a space in their
store for one of the local meetings with
residents. Sponsorship is really
important in these times and without it we
would be struggling a lot more
7. PCSO Chris Wright
Police Community Support Officer Chris
Wright then discussed
the opportunities you/family and friends
have to meet with the team, and
explained where the different meeting places were; such
as the Trix
Café. There are many options for young and
old to get involved in their
Neighbourhood and to keep in contact with
us. Please see below for

8. Benny and his Blog
Benny then came to speak to everyone about the Blog
that he has been creating to help us, and
described how everyone can
get involved in this and how important
communication is to keep
Neighbourhood Watch going successfully. If
anyone has any ideas or
wants to get involved with the development
of this please let your
officers know and we will pass your details
onto Benny.
9. John Dibley
John Dibley was then introduced to explain
his role as a Borough Co-
Ordinator and how this impacts and can help
any street Co-Ordinator.
John described the hierarchy there is for
Neighbourhood Watch and
helped to explain what is needed from each
role. The main support
needed is just to share the information and
messages from Police to
keep everyone updated with what is
happening in the area and to have
a point of contact quickly to disseminate
information
10. Inspector Craig Knight
Inspector Knight then ended the evening
and thanked everyone for
their attendance and reconfirmed how
important everyone’s support
and
advice is in making this work. Neighbourhood Watch’s must be
“ACTIVE” to work.
11. Questions
The room was then asked if they had any questions for the Team.
These were the questions and answers to them.
. When will there be more signs ready
to be put up in the areas
lacking them at the moment?
PCSO Freeman explained that new signs
which have been
sponsored and paid for by Budgens
will be going to print in the next
week to 2 weeks and should be ready
to be put up very soon.
Councillor Eber Kington then spoke and
explained that all
Councillors had signed up to provide an amount
of funding for their
area and Fru is in the process of sorting this
out, funding is available
and signs will be distributed shortly.
Budgens have also agreed that every 4
months a Saturday drop in
at the front of their shop for the
community to inform their officers of
any issues they may have.
. How
many cars and resources are available for the area?
Inspector Knight explained that
there are 24/7 resources available
and always will be for any
emergencies via the 999 system or 101.
For Neighbourhoods there are 44
staff with 11 cars that are
available mainly between 8am-10pm , however this is flexible
depending on needs in the Borough.
Other resources can also be
used from other forces such as the
MET, Sussex
etc if there is a
vital Police emergency.
Your Team
thanks you very much for your attendance and we will continue to keep contact
with you, and inform you of any future Neighbourhood Watch Co-Ordinator
Meetings.
