Cracking down on Anti-Social Behaviour in Surrey Docks

Cracking down on Anti-Social Behaviour in Surrey Docks

The Met is cracking down on street crime and ASB, like people doing drugs and drinking on the street.  

But we know there is more to do. This week we have been tackling drug use around the Rope Street area along the South Dock Marina. 

We’ve put hundreds more officers on the frontlines of community crime-fighting teams across London, upping visible patrols in the right ‘hot spots’ so we can deter and catch criminals - including with new tech like live facial recognition cameras, drones and e-bikes.

We’re now arresting more than 1,000 extra criminals every month and seeing local crimes like burglary, robbery and theft start to fall, with ‘neighbourhood crime’ down 14%.
