RESIDENTS are being urged to comment on the borough's policing as part of a review into the future of Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNTs).
As the Guardian reported last week, councillors and other community safety figures are currently being consulted about proposed changes to SNTs ahead of a possible shake-up by the Met.
The force is facing a cut in funding of up to £100 million during the 2011/12 financial year.
Now residents are also being invited to fill in an online questionnaire about SNTs, following suggestions that Waltham Forest's teams could be merged to save money.
A spokeswoman said: "The purpose of the review is to find better ways of using current neighbourhood policing resources to meet the needs of the local community.
"It will also ensure that local police teams continue to deliver an effective and relevant service in the right place at the right times. The review will focus on the locations of Safer Neighbourhoods teams, what they do and how they are structured.
"The review will be carried out by gathering the thoughts and feedback of local partners, such as the local authority and members of the community. This feedback will help plan any possible future changes."

The consultation closes on Friday January 21.
