SMART WATER

The Fryent Safer Neighbourhood Team of local police officers,councillors,Council officers and residents meets every couple of months to discuss and do something about local crime and other issues. We get regular updates from Sgt Liam Tierney and his officers and burglaries are up in the Fryent area. So, at the last meeting we discussed an anti-burglary initiative which was trialled in Harlesden. It produced great results with a reduction of 86% in burglaries using a forensic tool called Smart Water. Its a very simple system of marking property with invisible paint, which identifies the owner. We asked the police to make this system available and we could use 'Ward Working' funds for the purpose. Residents can then avail of the markers. Watch this space.
