A SPECIAL CAR FOR WANDSWORTH SPECIALS
15 October 2004 - MG Rover

Special Constables in Wandsworth are to receive a boost from the community in tackling crime with the launch of a brand new sponsored car.

Commissioner Sir John Stevens and Mayor of London Ken Livingstone officially presented the Rover 75 to Fred Ahmed MBE, Wandsworth Divisional Officer for the Metropolitan Special Constabulary, outside City Hall.

The new Rover 75 replaces the original sponsored car, the first of its kind in London, which had been in service since 1994. The car is sponsored by local business including TFL Motor Group and JR Halal Butchers, and the Wandsworth and Putney Crime Prevention Panel.

Commissioner Sir John Stevens said: ''The length of time this sponsorship deal has been in place is a testament to the strength of the relationship between the Special Constabulary in Wandsworth and the local community. It is a reflection of the hard work and dedication by our volunteer Specials to making Wandsworth a safer place to live and work and this new car will prove invaluable in this work.''

Mayor of London Ken Livingstone said: ''The dedication of the Special Constabulary in London is extraordinary and the work of individuals such as Fred Ahmed is vital to successful community policing in our capital. This sponsored car will help provide even better public access to their local police service and I commend all those involved in making it a success.''
