Is Nine Elms safe?

Current local priorities

• Priority 1 – Robbery Robberies have been a persistent issue around Battersea Park, this occasionally pushes its way on to Nine Elms Lane where there have been a number of late night high value robberies. This can be be tackled by an increase of crime awareness to the footfall around the robbery risk areas, increased visible and plain clothes patrols in these areas during the peak times. Multiple department operations such as Operation ROAR involving units such as violent suppression unit, Traffic, Dog Unit.
• Priority 2 – Theft There has been a high number of push bike thefts in the area, both from external locking points and Burglaries where push bikes kept inside a private area have been stolen. This issue will be tackled by visiting the hot spot area's, identifying any weakness in their security, check residents bikes if they are locked and how, inform residents to look out for tailgating etc., this has previously been effective with bike theft issues inside Riverlight court.
• Priority 3 – ASB Anti‑social behaviour linked to ongoing protest activity outside the US Embassy is affecting residents living in the immediate vicinity
