I had a useful catch-up with Borough Commander for the West Area, Chief Superintendent Sean Wilson, at Uxbridge Police Station this afternoon.

During our meeting, we discussed matters around police recruitment and deployment and what I can feedback to government to ensure that it responds accordingly to the ever-changing police demand.

We also discussed issues at the forefront of residents’ minds, such as catalytic converter thefts and drug dealing, and what is being done to combat these types of crimes locally. 

We both recognise that more needs to be done in order to prevent crimes from taking place, and I will ensure regular contact is maintained between our offices to ensure that we are doing as much as possible to make our area as safe as possible.
