Pimlico North

Your Safer Neighbourhoods Team is a group of Met police officers dedicated to serving your community. The team is made up of officers based in your area or 'ward', supported by additional officers from the wider area.

We work closely with local authorities, community leaders and residents to decide our policing priorities for the area. This helps us to find useful, long-term solutions to local problems, while maintaining our wider focus on reducing crime across London.

To speak to your local team about policing issues, and find out how you can get involved, you can email them at AWmailbox-.PimlicoNorthSNT@met.police.uk.

In an emergency always call 999.

If it is not an emergency, you can report crime online at www.met.police.uk or dial 101.

Violence Related Priority

Drug Crime - Drug related issues are linked to wider matters including violence (low on Pimlico North) ASB and issues amongst the homeless community. This leads to further anti social behaviour affecting local residents.

Ward officers will work with partners utilising ASB powers to reduce drug related issues and associated ASB. This will include Search warrants/Stop and Search/Targetted Dug hotspot patrols. Arrest or Diversion where appropriate

ASB - Concentrating on Street Population and the area around Victoria Train Station.

This is very similar to priority 1. ASB is low in the area and when it does occur, it is often attributed to the street population around the Lillington and Longmore estate and around Victoria train Station. Last quarter this had spread to adjacent areas but concentrated patrols appears to have reduced this. However reports of drug taking in private gardens and cellar areas still raises it head. Begging, drug taking, drug paraphernalia, rubbish being left are all symptoms of the street population and will be targeted by local officers. Problem Solving will take place working with the local charities & support services alongside neighbourhood coordinators and speaking to the residents to further reduce long term impact of this problem where appropriate and available. We will be receiving support from our Local Policing teams such as The Violence Suppression unit and Gangs Unit, who can add extra numbers and skills to have an impact on resident’s concerns.

Heightened patrols will take place at targeted times and locations in order to target the issue. The use of community protection notices will continue, targeting those engaging in anti-social behaviour. We will work alongside our partners, including the VBID, Homeless charities and above all, Hopkinson House. Officers will continue to find innovative ways to tackle this problem over the following month to ensure no reoccurrence, but we ask the public to report any signs of potential drug dealing, no matter how small it may seem. If any community members would also like to be part of a walk-along patrol to discuss this issue, please use the contact forms on this site. Local officers will continue to work with both internal policing units such as the Territorial Support Group who support Local Policing within their crime focused weeks on areas throughout London and other police forces such as the City of London Police and British Transport Police to conduct joint operations focusing on areas known as drug hotspots and attempting to disrupt county lines. Drug Dealers will also continue to be our prime target.
