Current local priorities

• Robbery - Edgware Road, Sussex Gardens, Praed Street Following on from the last Ward panel meeting, members of the panel decided on the following streets to be a focused on for our priority of Robbery. We aim to to reduce robbery offences on Edgware Road, Sussex Gardens, and Praed Street. Using METINSIGHTS and PLAN WEB to remain up-to-date with current offence locations and MO's. By conducting both plain clothed and high visibility patrols, utilising stop and search and working alongside neighbouring wards to identify offenders. We will utilise volunteers to give out crime prevention material. Robbery is an ongoing issue in W2, one that is recognised by residents, the ward panel and local officers. We intend to review the crime levels every 6 weeks and at each ward panel to monitor the progress.
• Marble Arch ASB and crime linked to the location. A number of different groups congregate at Marble Arch daily and commit offences from ASB, theft, robbery and drugs. Officers regularly patrols here every shift. We proactively use our police powers to disrupt activity. We have a planned operation Op Askov in response using plain clothes and visibility tactics to prevent offences.

The ward panel have chosen the following areas which your local policing team will focus on: Hyde Park Square, Sussex Place, Sussex Gardens, Southwick Mews, Randor Mews, Randor Place.
