Local Priorities Personal theft (e.g. pick pocketing, no violence used) Message

I wanted to provide you an update regarding Personal theft (e.g. pick pocketing, no violence used), which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

You can see our local ward team in uniform, but can you spot them in plain clothes?

Your local ward officers have been out over the last few weeks in a mixture of plain clothes and uniform, providing reassurance to members of the public and local businesses, speaking with residents and businesses to further understand current issues, as well as disrupt any criminal activity and antisocial behaviour. These patrols happen all over the ward at different times of day and into the night. Your team are out there keeping you safe.

You can play your part in keeping everyone safe, by remaining vigilant and reporting suspicious behaviour or activity that causes you concern to the Police. And we will sort it.

 We are working on our brand-new strategy for how we police London and we want your help. Our New Met for London: Phase 2 strategy will guide how we deliver on behalf of Londoners over the next three years.
