Current priorities

Priority 1 – Robbery Reduce Robbery offences specifically within St John’s Road SW11 and surrounding residential streets by using detection and prevention methods working in collaboration with Junction BID.

This problem will be reviewed regularly to ensure realistic and timely actions are taken.

Hi-visibility patrols along with stop and searches will be conducted, we will have community engagement events during which we will offer crime prevention advice, enforcing our commitment to deliver the neighbourhood guarantee and summer crime plan
