With the consent of the people, serving all of the Communities of Edgware Ward in the London Borough of Barnet.
Home Page
This is the web site of the Edgware Ward Panel, the community committee (sometimes known as the CAP) working with the Edgware Safer Neighbourhood Team of the Barnet Borough OCU of the Metropolitan Police Service.
The Ward panel in a separately constituted committee independent of the Management Structure of the the MPS.
The Edgware Ward Panel is made up of 25 members who represent as many parts of the ward's community as possible. The purpose of the Ward Panel is "To be representative of the local community in managing community safety with a view to improving the quality of life to those who live, work or visit the ward". We do this by providing a conduit from people who live, work and deliver social services in the ward to the Edgware (Barnet) Safer Neighbourhood Team, and act as overseers of Public Priorities in relation to Problem Solving Processes (known as "PSPs" or "302s"). In order to achieve this, we meet six times every year to review crime statistics for the ward and using our members' local knowledge, combined with the experience of our Ward Sergeant and his SNT, try to determine where local Police resources should be focussed for the benefit of the ward as a whole.
If you would like to join the Edgware Ward Panel, or just like to know a bit more about us, please call the Ward Sergeant on 020 8721 2762 or 0774 779 1197, or have a chat with a member of the team at one of the surgeries or meetings.
Edgware Underground Station
Whilst the SNT look after almost all of Edgware Ward, including the Bus Station, policing responsibility of the Underground Station and the Northern Line trains and track falls to the British Transport Police.

Reporting Crime
It is an anomaly that whilst crime figures in the ward are falling, fear of crime is rising. Both figures cannot be correct. The Ward Panel support the SNT in asking all members of the community to report crime, no matter how trivial you think it is. You can do this online by clicking here, or by telephone or person at Colindale Police Station, or by stopping a member of the SNT when you see them on the street.
