Partners and Endorsements

After another year I am proud to endorse and support the relentless and tireless work of the Shomrim. They have delivered some truly outstanding work and been an excellent support to the Police at Hackney. They want to assist with preventing crime and informing us of offenders committing crime as well as bringing to our attention crimes that may have previously gone unreported. I would like to pass on my particular thanks to those members of the Shomrim who have supported investigations and prosecutions, by giving witness statements and attending court and giving evidence.

I would like to thank the Shomrim for their work in preventing and detecting crime in Haringey over the last year. As this report shows, they continue to support the Met Police and our communities across London in a range of ways, placing community safety at the heart of what they do. Working with the Shomrim helps us to identify and tackle hate crime and to support vulnerable victims.

I would like them to be seen and known as members of the community who kindly volunteer their services as the “eyes and ears” of the community to help keep everyone safe and free of crime.

Without you, we wouldn’t have made the arrests. Thank you, and thank you for everything you do to make the community safer.

I want to pay tribute to the work of Rabbi Hershel Gluck and of the Shomrim volunteers. Rarely do these men, women receive recognition that they deserve.

I applaud the work of Shomrim in helping the police to keep neighbourhoods safe.
