Priority:
Priority 1 - Violence Related Priority
Use a problem orientated policing approach to reducing violence in the area adjacent to North Acton Underground station
Action taken:
Officers have committed a significant amount of time to proactive patrols in key areas, including the vicinity of North Acton Station and the North Acton Island. These patrols have been conducted at varied times throughout the day and into the evening, with the aim of addressing both violent crime and anti-social behaviour.
This sustained presence is yielding positive outcomes, with only two violence-related offences reported in the past 12 weeks. In addition, officers are actively engaging with university housing teams to deliver tailored crime prevention packages for students, helping them stay safe as they settle into university life.
Following the most recent Ward Panel Meeting, this priority will continue to be a focus and will be reviewed again at the next scheduled meeting.

Priority:
Priority 2 - Speeding
Targeted speed enforcement activity on North Acton Road
Action taken:
Over the past three months, officers have conducted multiple speed enforcement operations across North Acton. A key focus was delivered as part of Operation Alliance, which took place in November and covered both the Acton and Chiswick wards. During this operation, over 40 Traffic Offence Reports (TORs) were issued for a range of offences, including speeding, and 32 vehicles were seized for a variety of offences.
In addition to planned operations, officers continue to carry out ad-hoc speed enforcement sessions at various hotspot locations across the ward. To support these deployments, the number of officers trained in speed enforcement has also been increased, enhancing the team’s capacity to respond effectively to community concerns.
Following the most recent Ward Panel Meeting, this priority will continue to be a focus and will be reviewed again at the next scheduled meeting.

Priority 3 - Theft from motor vehicle
Use a problem orientated policing approach to reducing theft from motor vehicle offences on the North Acton ward.
Action taken:
Following the most recent ward panel tackling theft from motor vehicle remains a ward priority.
Our approach will be effective use of data to identify vehicle crime hotpots, and work with partners to identify long term solutions.
We will also continue to ensure the public are provided with crime prevention advice.
