Local Policing Activity Update |
||
|
Local community policing is a huge priority for us in the Met and the bedrock of how we police London. Over the last year we have seen the results of that, with strong reductions across the city in crimes like robbery, bike theft, and burglary.
As your local Neighbourhood Inspector , I thought it was a good opportunity to let you know the sorts of things your neighbourhood policing team have been doing recently :-
The team have been on Putney High Street, and in surrounding areas, carrying out enforcement after the community raised concerns around inconsiderate and dangerous riding of pedal cycles and e bikes and drivers using mobile phones whilst driving. The team have reported riders and drivers for numerous offences including using mobile phones whilst driving, contravening red lights both in vehicles and on bicycles, using motor vehicles with no driving licence, using motor vehicles with no insurance, cycling on the pavement and one person was arrested after assaulting one of the ward officers having been stooped for illegal use of an e bike.
This is just one of the things we will be doing this week but is and example of some of the work we do every day. Your neighbourhood team is embedded in your community and works around the clock to keep you safe. The range of issues they deal with is vast, from petty theft to sexual offences and violence. They operate alongside ‘response teams’, who are the officers who turn up in an emergency if you dial 999.
Our key priority is to deliver precise and collaborative community fighting through problem solving. By working with our key stakeholders, we can identify the origins of crime and work with groups like the local council or businesses on creative ways to address them.
Thank you for staying in touch with us on Met Engage. We are here to help you - if there are issues that you think need to be addressed, please let us know.
Many thanks
PJ
