Proactive Police Patrol – Barking Park and Longbridge Ward

Today, between 14:00 and 17:00 hours, PCSO Abbasi, Inspector Jason Dvais 1505EA and Special Constable Hossain 5110EA conducted proactive, high-visibility patrols at Barking Park and across the Longbridge Ward.

The patrols focused on tackling and preventing crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB), with particular attention to:

Knife Crime: Tackling the carrying of weapons and helping to reduce knife-related crime.

Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG): Providing reassurance and promoting a safer environment for women and girls.

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB): Identifying and addressing behaviour that negatively impacts the local community.

Weapon Sweeps: Conducting proactive weapon sweeps in public areas to identify and remove potential weapons.

Officers also carried out wider patrols throughout the Longbridge Ward to maintain a visible police presence, deter offending and provide reassurance to local residents.

We remain committed to keeping Barking Park and the wider Longbridge Ward safe for everyone who lives, works and visits the area.

Working together to make our community safer
