Joint Partnership Success – Operation Roscoea, Southwark

We’re pleased to share the success of Operation Roscoea, a joint partnership anti-social behaviour (ASB) initiative carried out in Southwark last week.

This multi-agency operation saw eight partner representatives from six support organisations conducting outreach patrols alongside officers from our Trust, Confidence and Engagement Team. These joint efforts led to numerous new referrals into support services, ensuring vulnerable individuals are connected with the help they need.

Neighbourhood policing teams also carried out joint patrols with Southwark Council wardens, who now hold newly designated enforcement powers. This enhanced collaboration has strengthened our collective ability to respond to ASB and community concerns.

Operational highlights included:

Six arrests made by officers from North Southwark Town Centre Team, St George’s, North Walworth, Faraday, Newington Ward, Chaucer, and the Proactive Crime Team:

2 for possession of a Section 5 firearm (CS spray)
1 for possession of Class A and B drugs
1 individual wanted for theft
2 for shoplifting

ASB enforcement activity included:

2 Community Protection Notices issued to persistent offenders
Numerous intelligence reports submitted to support ongoing investigations

This operation is a testament to the dedication and teamwork of our local officers and partner agencies. Thank you to everyone involved for your continued commitment to making Southwark safer and more resilient.

We look forward to building on this momentum in future deployments.
