Current Priorities

Issue

Elephant and Castle - including Elephant / Draper Estate
To tackle violence and knife crime across the capital, working tirelessly to remove knives, firearms and other offensive weapons from the streets.

Action

We have been coordinating with other policing teams and local business in the vicinity to protect Londoners and bringing offenders to justice. We have been working closely with the council and the licensing team and will keep residents in the area updated with the issues.

Issue

Tackle Anti-social Behaviour caused by Street Beggars, People Dealing/Using Drugs
Street Robbery including Phone snatches.

Action

Officers will continue to patrol the area over the next three months in response to this, in order to reduce the activity which includes Nursery Row Park. Operation Nightingale is also in place around the park and the vicinity. This has ensured an influx of officers throughout the day and night to reduce activity that would have otherwise increased.

Issue

Reports of large numbers of persons drinking alcohol, taking drugs and causing Anti-social Behaviour and a concerning amount of reports around VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls).

Action

Officers have been and will continue to target this area specifically but not exclusively to reduce this activity and monitor; keeping in close liaison with the security teams who oversee the area to prevent and reduce crime etc.
