As the nights become darker and the days become colder, our thoughts here at Newham police turn to cracking down on crime; as autumn draws in, we usually experience an increase in anti-social behaviour related calls.

This week I’d like to talk about the way the Metropolitan Police Service work with the organisation Crimestoppers. Crimestoppers is a charity set up in 1988 by Lord Michael Ashcroft, as a way of encouraging people to pass information about criminal offences and offenders to the police, completely anonymously and sometimes for a reward. The organisation is now run by a huge network of volunteers, who take phone calls 24/7 and monitor the internet site. As well as remaining an incredibly successful way of sharing information, Crimestoppers has also helped to develop exceptional working relationships between the police, the media and third party organisations and charities, all united with the single goal of fighting crime.
