Community safety

Harrow is one of the safest boroughs in London and we are working hard to keep it this way.

This is your guide to keeping burglars at bay, reporting graffiti and staying safe in the home and on the streets.

Practical assistance and support is only a phone call away and the guide lists the phone numbers you can call to access this help.

The Community Safety Handbook, created by Harrow Council and the Metropolitan Police, has been delivered to 62,000 homes.
