Youth related anti-social behaviour.
Issued 14 May 2026
Your team is actively tackling youth anti-social behaviour (ASB) through a preventative, partnership-led approach focused on early intervention.
Working with schools:
Officers engage regularly with local schools to identify emerging issues, deliver inputs, and provide a visible presence. This helps build trust with young people, address behaviour early, and reinforce positive choices.
Engaging parents and guardians:
The team works closely with families to raise awareness of ASB concerns, encourage responsible parenting, and support behaviour change at home. This includes direct communication, joint problem-solving, and signposting to additional support where needed.
Early intervention and diversion:
By identifying at-risk young people early, the team aims to intervene before behaviours escalate, using education, guidance, and partnership support rather than enforcement wherever possible.
Partnership working:
Collaboration with schools and parents ensures a consistent message is delivered, creating a joined-up approach to reducing ASB and safeguarding young people.

Theft from Motor Vehicle
Issued 14 May 2026
Theft from Motor Vehicle remains a prevalent crime type in the South of the Borough and it has been agreed to remain a priority.
To combat these issues, the team will analyse the data when offences are committed and dedicate our resources to these areas. We will analyse patterns of offending in order to catch and deter offenders. We will act on intelligence provided by our communities and partners. We will utilise our Met Engage contacts to conduct witness appeals post offences being committed and each victim of crime will receive a visit from the team. We will conduct door to door enquiries to look for further evidence of offences and when there are obvious patterns to offences, these areas will receive an enhanced policing presence.
