  • Crime prevention

    In general crime rates continue to fall. Many crimes are committed as opportunities arise, so simply closing a window or removing valuables from display really does make a difference. Following crime prevention advice helps to reduce your risk of being a victim of crime and makes you and your family safer.

  • Gating orders

    We can restrict access to alleyways in order to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in that location.

    Croydon Council recognises that, while unlikely, a major emergency can happen at any time. In the case of a major emergency when police, fire or ambulance service attendance is required, dial 999 immediately.
