The Colindale Police Station is a proud member of the Safe Place Scheme.

They welcome vulnerable individuals who may be feeling frustrated or lost. Officers will offer support and reassurance and can assist with contacting a family member or carer.
Our part in creating Barnet a safe space for all.

The Safe Space Scheme is led by Barnet Mencap in partnership with Transport for London and the Metropolitan Police.
