Notting Hill Carnival 2026 Community Officer patrols

Here’s a quick update on anti-social behaviour locally. We know it can be distressing, but we’re working closely with partners to make the area safer and support residents. 
 

Notting Hill Carnival 2026 Update

Throughout the Notting Hill Carnival weekend, your local neighbourhood officers were out on foot and pedal cycle patrols as part of dedicated community policing teams, helping to keep residents, visitors and carnival-goers safe.

Neighbourhood Sergeant Eaglestone covered over 13.5 miles on foot, providing a visible policing presence across the area, particularly around key transport hubs including Shepherd's Bush and Latimer Road stations.

Officers worked proactively to prevent crime and tackle anti-social behaviour, carrying out stop and searches where lawful grounds existed, seizing drugs and nitrous oxide, and engaging with members of the public throughout the event.

Events such as Carnival highlight the importance of neighbourhood policing. Being visible, approachable and embedded within our communities allows us to prevent crime, provide reassurance and work alongside residents and visitors to keep everyone safe.

A huge thank you to those who spoke with officers over the weekend and helped make Carnival a positive event for all.

Across London we’ve put hundreds more officers on the frontlines of community crime-fighting teams, 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. 

Antisocial behaviour can come in many forms and can require support from more organisations than just the police. A full list of what we categorise as antisocial behaviour is available on our website.
