A Christmas message from Harlow District Commander, Chief Inspector Jenna Mornington-French.

Jenna said: ‘I want to wish everyone in Harlow a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Thank you to all our readers and the whole community for your support this year. Working together, we’ve made Harlow a safer place to live, work, and visit.

This year, our local police teams have helped solve more crimes and keep people safe. We’ve seen fewer thefts, less damage to property, and fewer robberies. Our officers have worked hard to stop knife crime, drug problems, and anti-social behaviour. We’ve also added more local officers to help with issues that matter to you.

“I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together and look forward to building on this next year. Thank you for your support, and I wish you and your families a safe and happy Christmas and New Year”.
