Safer Neighbourhood Board
The Richmond Safer Neighbourhood Board (SNB) was established in April 2014 and replaced the former Community and Police Partnership.
Role
The role of the Richmond Safer Neighbourhood Board is to bring together the police and communities to establish local policing and crime priorities, make sure the public is involved in community safety decisions, monitor police performance and confidence, and to fulfil a range of important specific functions.
It delivers a number of projects each year to encourage dialogue between the police and hard-to-reach or vulnerable groups.
Applications to join
The SNB reviews its membership once a year for the AGM which is normally held in July. The majority of current board members are prepared to continue on the board, but we are also calling for applications, with a nominator and seconder, for new members.
The board welcomes participation from local groups and organisations that represent a significant number of people and will take an active interest in policing matters. We are particularly interested in identifying representatives from interfaith groups and young people, and those who can represent the LGBTQ+ community.
If you feel you represent a particular community or organisation which would benefit from membership, please do apply, and we will give every application serious consideration.
The following are already represented:
- Police Liaison Groups
- Neighbourhood Watch
- Older people
- Young people
- Education
- Business
- Disability groups
- Local residents
In addition, the following send representatives:
- Stop and Search Monitoring Group
- Crime Prevention Panel
- Youth Outreach
- Victim Support
- Multicultural Richmond
- Local Trading Standards.
Two councillors are nominated by the Council to sit on the board.
If you are interested in your organisation, or you, becoming a member, email richmondcpp.snb@gmail.com for further information.

Go Girl public safety project
Richmond Safer Neighbourhood Board has launched a public safety project aimed at women and girls, which aims to empower them and to feel more confident when they are out and about in public.
The idea is to teach women how not to 'freeze' when they feel they are in danger, so many report that 'no words will come out of their mouths, their legs stop working.' The Go Girl initiative raises awareness of what we can train the human body to do, age-old skills designed to build personal confidence. A few easy exercises help by-pass this 'freeze', so the body takes over automatically, the voice comes, and the legs move again.
