Welcome to the Southend district webpage.

District Commander update
Southend is already a low crime area but our work with partners
within the Southend Crime and Disorder Partnership has seen crime
levels fall even further which is excellent news.

Above: Chief Insp David Colwell
My promises to you as your District Commander are:
- To always remember that behind every crime is a victim, family
and wider community that are affected
- To listen carefully to the issues that affect you and your
families and do our very best to help
- To tell you how and when we can help and when, on occasions,
others are better able to assist.
- To work hard to further reduce crime and anti-social
behaviour
- To strive to ensure those who commit crime are caught and
brought to justice
We deliver our policing service through our Neighbourhood
Policing Teams. These teams are dedicated to:
- Improving our visibility and reducing the fear of crime
- Gaining the trust and confidence of the local community
- Tackling the causes and effects of crime and anti-social
behaviour
- Being identifiable and known within the local community
- Tackling crime through targeting repeat offenders
- Building on successful local partnerships within the community
to solve problems
