Current Priorities

Issue

Mapesbury and Cricklewood SNT will continue to show uniform patrols along Cricklewood Broadway and Chichele Road as this is the hotspot for violence on the streets. Embedded with this is Operation Terminos focusing on Violence. We have been working closely with Cricklewood SNT Barnet to provide uniformed patrols. Violence in the area has decreased however this will still be a main focus to show police presence and try to identify suspects through CCTV footage.

Action

Provide uniformed patrols on Cricklewood Broadway.
Engagement with the local business.
Days of action planned with Brent council around A5 corridor. Op Terminos

Issue

Burglary on the ward is on the decline due to the team identifying a number of persistent offenders. We continue to visit victims of burglary and provide reassurance as well as obtain as much CCTV footage in order to identify and arrest the suspect. Through the investigation, we have identified a number of persistent criminals who have been arrested and we are applying for a criminal behaviour orders at court

Action

Provide both uniformed and plain clothes patrols, identify individuals who have been identified as suspects for burglaries and disrupt them. Engage with them and if any offences committed to arrest them.
Officers actively seeking injunctions and Community Protection notices vs worse offenders.
Crime prevention stalls to target harden the area.
Op Terminos has also started targetting Burglary

Issue

Anti-social behaviour is an issue across London. There are some hotspot areas, which the SNT are aware of where people loiter and use drugs. Working closely with the local authority this enables us to challenge these individuals and to provide them with strong words of advice. If there anti-social behaviour continues, they will be provided a formal warning. The team also conduct days of actions with the local authority. Any continued anti-social behaviour issues the team will look at taking action to known individuals that keep causing problems, this could be from issuing community protection warnings, community protection notices and criminal behaviour orders.

Action

Work with local authority and charities such as St Mungo's to help house the drug users and provide any safeguarding if necessary.
Undercover patrols.
Warrants and closure notices on worst offending properties. Such as HMO and unlicensed HMOs.
