Drug related gang violence
This priority is aimed at reducing the street robberies in and around the Winstanley Estate area. In particular, any streets or public greens such as York Gardens which serve as a thoroughfare for commuters egressing from Clapham Junction who may find themselves as victims of personal robbery, in particular during the hours of darkness later in the year.
Ongoing patrols where our late turn shifts allow serve as a good point to deal with this.
In addition, utilising support from other resources and teams such as the new Neighbourhood Tasking Team, and the Territorial Support Group will assist us in dealing with such issues

Research of intelligence system to identify locations for patrols and potential offenders. High visibility patrols and promoting of crime prevention through social media and engagement with the community.

Across the Latchmere Ward we have a large problem with Anti-Social Behaviour where Drugs are the precursor.
This is not bespoke to one particular area of our ward, instead it is found to exist in multiple areas across Latchmere.
Will will map out each crime using Met Insights / PlanWeb, and using this data, we will be able to work out hotspots and as such, co-ordinate patrols effectively.
When at each hotspot, and circumstance permitting, good use of Stop and Search, and where applicable, good use of the information sharing agreement with the council may assist in dealing with those most troublesome.
ASB comes in many form - such as, noise disturbances from addresses engaged in drug dealing, loitering in and around these areas thus putting neighbours in fear of harm, urination / defecation in stairwells and other public access areas of buildings, graffiti. The list is non exhaustive.
Where we identify addresses that are causing ASB issues and where drugs are the nucleus, we can use ASB powers to good use - such as Closure Orders under Section 80 of the ASB Act of 2014.

High Visibility patrols to the locations identified to deter those committing Anti-Social Behaviour. Utilising Anti-Social Behaviour legislation to issue ASN warnings, Community Protection warnings and Community Protection Notices when appropriate.

The involvement of weapons particularly knives when offenders are commiting crime within the ward is a concern raised by the community. Utilising various methods including the use of stop and search and proactive officers we aim to reduce this.
