Reduction in Burglary offences with a lean towards education and prevention.
Burglary is a problem that effects the whole ward and analysis would suggest this is done by travelling criminals, targeting high value vehicles and smaller items like jewellery and currency.

As a ward team it is imperative we educate the people of Edgware to protect themselves against this sort of crime

Priority remains in place as of November 2024 Ward panel.

- Hold at least 3 Burglary Outreach events per month (Street briefings and security checks)

- proactively identify and challenge security issues whilst on routine patrols

- Liase with NW Burglary Team to identify patterns of offending in the area to give the most up to date advice.
