Current priorities
Prevent serious violence and knife crime
Increase proactive patrols and seek prosecutions for those found to be offending. Conduct youth engagement around knife possession and its consequences. Highlighting weapon amnesty days.

High visibility and plain clothes police patrols to both deter and arrest those responsible. Ensure that drug referral is offered to all those who we encounter. Ensure that high quality cases are presented to the CPS to achieve the best possible outcomes at court.
Set: 2026-06-24
Drug use, street drinking and aggressive begging around Max roach Park, St Johns Crescent and Brixton Terrace.
Conduct high visibility and plain clothes patrols in the hotspot areas, utilise temporary CCTV cameras and offer diversion to all we encounter. Improve the usage of community protection warnings and notices.
