Met Police's policy to reduce violence on London's streets.

The team have made great efforts to reduce robberies in specific areas on the ward following a crime spike and concerns from local residents who attend our Ward Panel Meetings. We've achieved this by carrying out high-visibility cycle, foot and vehicle patrols, along with and an undercover presence.

We've engaged with individuals and groups that we suspect of anti-social behaviour who are also asked to account for the actions and presence in the area. We have conducted a number of weapon sweeps around the ward with the help of Met Police volunteers.

Additionally we have provided crime prevention leaflets on personal safety with open spaces, like parks, alleyways and foot bridges regularly patrolled by officers.

Alibon ward has had reports in regards to small groups hanging around the local vicinity drinking alcohol and the use of illegal drugs

Alibon officers will engage with such groups believed to be involved to be causing ASB and will use tactical options from ASB warnings, closure notices, community protection notices and community behaviour order. Our hotspot areas identified by ourselves and the local community will be regularly patrolled on foot, car and bike, to deter anyone who causes ASB on the ward.

Alibon Ward is aware that Burglary normally peaks at the start of the year

The aim is to reduce the opportunities by increasing community engagement, awareness and prevention around Burglary and trends. Targeted patrols around specific areas on the ward that have been highlighted for Burglary Offences.
