Violence Against Women & Girls (VAWG)

Issued 28 July 2025

To tackle violence against women and girls (VAWG), especially in public areas like Queensbury Park, Honeypot Lane, Kenmore Park Playground, market hubs, bus stops, etc. We will work with Harrow Council and local councillors to increase patrols and make these areas safer. We will also organise weapon swaps to remove dangerous items, make arrests when necessary, and engage with residents and businesses to identify and address any anti-social behaviour or criminal activities.

We organise weekly "Women's Safety Walk, Talk, and Do" sessions”, in partnership with the Harrow Council VAWG officer and inviting local councillors to join. These sessions allow women in the community to share their concerns, discuss safety, and take action together. Additionally, we have increased daily high-visibility patrols (HVP) in main HIGH PRIORITY AREAS that have been highlighted as concerns. This helps to ensure a stronger presence and make these areas safer for everyone.

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB)

Issued 28 July 2025

To address Robbery, Burglary and vehicle crimes, such as thefts from motor vehicles and motor vehicle thefts. We aim to deter these crimes and prevent any potential incidents. To do this, we organise crime prevention street briefings and visit every victim of these crimes to provide reassurance and vehicle crime prevention leaflets. This will help keep our community well informed and safer.

We have taken action to address our ward priority of targeting vehicle crimes. We successfully conducted a local operation called Op Deer, where officers made arrests related to vehicle crimes and parcel theft. Additionally, we organised crime prevention street briefings and shared vehicle crime prevention advice. This advice was also sent out through our ACE (Airspace Community Engagement) Twitter (@MPSKentonEast) and to all ward residents. These efforts are aimed at keeping our community informed and safe.

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB)

Issued 15 May 2025

To raise awareness about ASB crimes and the theft of steering wheels and catalytic converters. We will hold "community drop-in and ASB surgeries" and "Coffee and Crime Prevention" sessions where people can learn how to protect their vehicles. We will also share useful awareness and information with residents to help prevent ASB-related offences and other types of thefts.

We have acted on our ward priority by organising regular “community drop-in/ASB surgeries” and "Coffee and Crime Prevention" sessions, where we distributed relevant ASB and crime awareness leaflets to residents. Additionally, in order to tackle ASB and stop steering wheel and catalytic converter thefts, we carried out high-visibility patrols at high-priority areas identified by crime mapping.
