Weekly Safer Neighbourhood Team Update

Weekly Safer Neighbourhood Team Update

Good Morning,

I hope everyone had a pleasant weekend. For those who celebrated Diwali, I hope you enjoyed a safe and joyful celebration with family and friends.

I would like to take this opportunity to share some of the work undertaken by your Safer Neighbourhood Teams over the past week.

Community Engagement

Officers from the North Harrow Safer Neighbourhood Team attended a residents' meeting concerning the Harrow Garden Village development. I would like to thank all residents who attended, together with Councillor Savjani, for their continued engagement and support. We are particularly grateful to those members of the community who continue to share information and intelligence with us, helping us to identify and address local concerns.

Proactive Patrols and Crime Prevention Activity

Throughout the Halloween, Bonfire Night and Diwali period, officers were deployed across all three wards to respond to reports of anti-social behaviour and the misuse of fireworks.

Alongside responding to incidents, officers actively engaged with residents and young people to promote the safe and responsible use of fireworks. Proactive patrols were carried out across local parks and open spaces, during which officers conducted weapon sweeps and stop-and-search activity targeting suspected drug-related offending. These efforts resulted in the seizure of controlled substances and positive action being taken against those involved in criminal activity.

Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour

The Pinner Safer Neighbourhood Team has continued its work in supporting a recently granted partial closure order at a property that has generated significant concern for local residents.

Following further reports of anti-social behaviour at the address, officers attended the location over the weekend and located a male inside the property who was wanted for four outstanding offences, including the burglary of a vulnerable elderly victim. The individual was arrested for these offences, as well as for breaching the closure order. He has subsequently been charged and remanded to court.

Remembrance Sunday

Yesterday, officers from the Pinner and North Harrow Safer Neighbourhood Teams were proud to attend the Pinner Remembrance Service alongside the Harrow Police Cadets.

It was a privilege to join members of the community in paying our respects to those who have served and sacrificed for our country. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event such a meaningful occasion.

Looking Ahead

As we move into another week, we encourage residents to continue reporting any suspicious or criminal activity. Information provided by the community remains invaluable in helping us keep our neighbourhoods safe.

Please remember to secure your homes, vehicles and valuables, particularly during the darker winter months. If you would like crime prevention advice or wish to discuss any local concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your local Safer Neighbourhood Team.

Thank you for your continued support.

Kind Regards,

Sergeant Rebecca Bridges
