The Safer Neighbourhood Board in Bexley meets quarterly and has a responsibility to hold the police to account and to increase engagement with local communities as well as ensuring the existing police ward panels are effective and representative of the local communities.

The Board receives a small amount of funding from Mayors Office for policing and crime (MOPAC) which can support local initiatives to assist in meeting the local priorities.
