Dear Partner,

I am writing to thank you on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Service for supporting and facilitating us in delivering vital training sessions to officers over the past few months.

Along with the help of a select few other external partners, we have conducted 13 sessions of situational awareness training to over 130 officers. This has been delivered by our Protective Security Operations team as part of Project Vigilant, which tackles Violence Against Women and Girls in the night time economy and public spaces. Officers have been taught diversion and prevention tactics which are now being utilised to deter offending behaviour. Delivering the training to such a high standard and in such a realistic format would not have been possible without the use of your venue – thank you.

Tackling violence, against women and girls is one of our top priorities and Project Vigilant is a key piece of work in this area. You have enabled us to train officers on a specialist aspect of policing, equipping them with key skills to carry out work which will protect women and girls and prevent crime across London.

Thank you for your continued support, it is hugely appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Jane Connors QPM

Deputy Assistant Commissioner
