Current priorities
Violence related offences. During the summer months there is usually an increase in ASB and robberies in open spaces.
Regular targeted patrols of Clayhall Park, Redbridge Recreation Ground and Roding Valley Park including high visibility and plain clothes patrols dictated by data provided by recent crime reports
Set: 2026-05-20
Tackle after school robberies of school pupils whilst leaving school.
Officers are focusing on working with the community including other agencies such as TFL and carrying out high visibility patrols after school times and in the vicinity of local transport hubs and subways.
Set: 2026-05-20
Rough sleepers engaged in begging in the area are causing residents to feel in fear of their safety when using the underpass at the A12 Redbridge Roundabout.
Officers are regularly patrolling the affected area and dealing robustly with offenders and also working alongside the council to support vulnerable individuals to give them the support they require. There has been a positive response from residents, noting an improvement from the community who use the underpass and station.
