Current Priorities

Issue

Violence against person. Focused on Women and youths - High visibility patrols of the ward from dusk focusing on transport hubs and night time economy areas.

Action

Patrols of locations around transport HUBS and night time economies. Extended shifts covering local college finishing times.

Issue

Autumn/Winter nights see the nights get longer and ASB increases in public places. Hotspot patrolling using historic crime data to establish repeat locations.
Working with Police ASB team to apply for community behaviour orders on repeat offenders, Acceptable Behaviour Contracts for youths and civil injunctions with Bexley CSP and Community protection notices for adults to disrupt and deter crime.
Further joint meetings to be held with Sidcup High Street businesses for crime and ASB.

Action

High visibility patrols and businesses engaged with ongoing trends, crime prevention advice and support reports made to police.

Issue

Theft of Motor Vehicle targeting keyless entry vehicle crime by way of events, training and networking. Crime prevention advice and emails have been sent to our KINS network. Keen to promote further and gain extra contacts.
Theft from Motor Vehicle patrols during twilight and dusk. Crime prevention emails to lock personal vehicles and remove property from show, engagement stands and working to encourage vans to mark tools.
Boot fair patrols then need to be completed to identify forensically marked property.

Action

Ongoing operations, innovation hub, events and training around TOMV and TFMV. Tool marking events at DITY store locations. Joint Kent / Met proactive operations
