A member of East Finchley's Safer Neighbourhood Team poses with his bicycle outside Holy Trinity School. The team, which consists of three Police Officers and five Police Community Support Officers can be seen outside local schools most mornings ensuring the safe arrival of pupils. This photograph was taken for the local volunteer run newspaper, The Archer, to illustrate the new bicycles that the team had received over the summer holidays in 2010. The article that ran with the photo in the November edition included the following quotes from the team sergeant: - "The bicycles increase our visibility and our responsiveness, we can get to where we need to be more quickly." "We've made a number of arrests where we effectively 'surprised' offenders, who were used to us patrolling on foot."
