Fleet Street Quarter is committed to enhancing the safety and security of those working, living, and visiting the area. June was a busy month with events and partnerships taking place to promote community engagement and bolster our community’s safety.
Following the success of our Crime Prevention Workshops with City of London Police, we have begun undertaking local partnership meetings to facilitate more of these sessions within local offices, ensuring those who work in Fleet Street Quarter are informed about the latest crime prevention advice. If your office wants to get involved with this initiative, please email Beth Nash at beth.nash@fleetstreetquarter.co.uk.
We have continued our ‘Coffee with a Cop’ bimonthly series whereby members of the local SME community are invited to informally join their local policing team and the FSQ safe and secure manager to discuss any crime concerns. These sessions help to forge relationships and more direct methods of reporting and community crime prevention initiatives, as well as putting a friendly face to neighbourhood policing. Keep a lookout for the next session coming up in August.
Some of our Fleet Street Quarter locals, especially those based around Chancery Lane and Holborn may have seen our new partnership patrol with Central District Alliance Business Improvement District (CDA) which has brought together FSQ’s on-street Ambassadors with CDA Security Team to patrol our busy border areas to the west and north of the area.
These patrols will run throughout the summer months to support our local businesses, workers, visitors and residents, as well as share intelligence on safety and security from across the two BID footprints, allowing FSQ and CDA to continue to work collaboratively in these areas.
