Community Engagement

On Thursday 17th July 2025, we had the pleasure of welcoming officers from Vietnam 🇻🇳 to Southall — giving them a first hand look at how we deliver local policing on our Safer Neighbourhoods Team 👮‍♂️👮‍♀️.

It wasn’t just about us showing them the ropes — they also shared fascinating insights into their own training and policing back home, giving us a real glimpse into policing on the other side of the world 🌏. They even got hands-on with our kit, trying on riot gear and exploring our police vehicles 🚓 — plenty of laughs and great memories made!

Later that day, we joined the brilliant staff at The Three Bridges Primary School (Twitter/X Handle: @ThreeBridgesSch) for their Year 6 careers fair. It was fantastic engaging with the students, sharing what we do, and hopefully inspiring some future officers of tomorrow! 👮‍♂️👩‍🏫

A big thank you to our Vietnamese colleagues for spending time with us, and to the wonderful team at Three Bridges Primary for their warm hospitality — and a much-appreciated lunch!
