BOROUGH WIDE MESSAGE
Metropolitan Police Commissioner Bernard Hogan-Howe is hosting his next regular interactive, live webchat on Tuesday 22 May giving Londoners an opportunity to ask him questions.

Join the webchat between 14:30 and 15:30hrs at http://www.met.police.uk/askmetboss/.

You can also join the discussion on Twitter using #AskMetBoss

Over 800 people have joined the Commissioner during his recent webchats, questioning him on a variety of topics including racism, drugs, uniform and terrorism. During the April webchat the highest levels of questions were received so far and the Commissioner answered as many as possible during the hour-long session hosted on the MPS website.

The webchats are part of the Commissioner's commitment to speaking directly with members of the public to find out their views on how the MPS can be the best police service.

CARDIAC RISK IN THE YOUNG

You may have seen a recent article in the local Newshopper written by my nephew Paul Daniels asking people to sign an e-petition calling on the government to provide heart -screening programmes. This follows from the shocking and sad death of his 15 year old son from an undiagnosed heart condition whilst playing football.

We have since learned that ON AVERAGE 12 YOUNG PEOPLE DIE EVERY WEEK FROM UNDIAGNOSED HEART CONDITIONS and that in many cases this could have been prevented by screening and early treatment and or lifestyle changes.

In the UK, the charity CRY strives to raise money to provide screening whilst in other countries such as Italy, screening has been mandatory for the last 10 years.

Please give your support by signing the e-petition at epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petition/31819  and help protect your young friends and family. Thank you.

DON'T BECOME A VICTIM

Mobile phone thefts occur through robbery, burglary, vehicle crime, theft of unattended property etc. Bexley Police use their stop and search powers responsibly and when they find someone with a mobile phone they check the IMEI number to see if it has been reported as lost or stolen. Please follow this link to find out how to register your phone.

In the event of your property being lost or stolen it will help improve the chances of it being returned to you.
