Met Police update for young people 13.8.2011

[Tim Lund]

1. Recent events were pure criminality, causing harm and damage to innocent local people and places, and we will pursue those responsible through the courts.

2. We support the 99% campaign, in the belief that the majority of young people do not commit serious or violent crime.

3. We work with local communities through our Safer Neighbourhoods teams, schools and partner organisations to respond collectively to issues involving young people.

4. We are actively involved in supporting and developing young people through programmes such as the Volunteer Police Cadets and other organisations.

5. Young people need support to develop into responsible adults, and you can help by volunteering. To find out more go to: www.youlondon.org.uk and www.do-it.org.uk

Great post Tim, though sadly the waiting list for the Police Cadets in lewisham was two years last time I checked.
