Current priorities
Harrow Recreation Ground/Surrounding Road: Work alongside 'Friends of Harrow Rec' regarding anti-social behaviour taking place in the open space. Targeted patrols during peak times following reports of ASB and Drug related offences.
Regular patrols carried out within this location, including high visibility and plain clothes tactics. Weapon sweeps conducted as part of patrols, resulting in stolen property found and returned to owners. Officers continue to conduct both plain clothes and high visibility patrols across the ward and within Harrow Recreation Ground targeting anti-social behaviour and drug dealing. These patrols have led to recent stop and searches which resulted in positive detections for possession of drugs.
