A MESSAGE FROM PCSO BURDA
Dear All,
Most of you should have all have received an email recently regarding 'OWL', the Online Watch Link.
This is a system that Barnet Borough police have just signed up for and which has been running successfully in Hertfordshire for the past ten years.
The big advantage of this system for us is that we can now see where Neighbourhood Watches are located on our ward and who their members are. The lack of any great integration between the police and Neighbourhood Watch is something that has been moaned about for years and this system is definitely a step forward in that regard.
It also works similar to our existing database system in that it gives us options to contact local residents and local businesses and these contacts can be sorted by streets, by nearby streets and by business category.
There is also a useful link on the 'local' tab on the website to 'Fix My Street' which allows you to report problems such as fly tipping, litter, broken street lighting and abandoned vehicles to the Council. There are a few other links on there as well which you may all find useful.
If you haven't received an email about 'OWL' but wish to sign up to it you can do so at [www.owl.co.uk]www.owl.co.uk
Regards,
Justin
PCSO Justin Burda | Brunswick Park Safer Neighbourhood Team
