Street Safe London is an initiave run by volunteers and led by Julian King an experienced former police detective and director of sister companies Criminal Investigation and Paralegal Services Ltd and Retail Protection Group Ltd. 

Like major cities in Europe, tourists are considered easy targets and are often targeted by pickpockets, phone thieves, and scammers. Westminster Bridge has been identified as a location which would benefit from a visible presence of volunteers. 

We aim to raise awareness via crime prevention advice and deter opportunistic crime ulising both our street detectives and  volunteers in high visibility clothing to help deter crime, provide  a friendly face, and help victims with reporting crime.

There are also road safety issues on Westminster Bridge with fast cyclists using the cycle lane.  Our volunteers use whistles to alert tourists who are walking or standing in the cycle lanes who are often looking the wrong way as in the UK we drive on the left hand side of the road which is the opposite to most other countries.

Whilst the police and the local authorities do what they can with limited resources and increasing demands upon them, we feel it is important for the community to provide support in areas which may not be a priority for the police or local authorities but can have a profound impact on victims of what may be seen as petty crime but  have a devastating impact on victims and not least the affect on the reputation of London as a venue for tourists wishing to  explore our beautiful city.
