Current priorities
Elephant & Castle - including Elephant / Draper Estate To tackle violence and knife crime across the capital, working tirelessly to remove knives, firearms and other offensive weapons from the streets.
We have been coordinating with other policing teams and local business in the vicinity to protect Londoners and bringing offenders to justice. We have been working closely with the council and the licensing team and will keep residents in the area updated with the issues.

Anti-Social Behaviour/Drugs WALWORTH RD/ EAST ST/OCCUPATION RD/NURSERY ROW PARK Tackle Anti-social Behaviour caused by Street Beggars, People Dealing/Using Drugs Street Robbery including Phone snatches.
Officers will continue to patrol the area over the next three months in response to this, in order to reduce the activity which includes Nursery Row Park. Operation Nightingale is also in place around the park and the vicinity. This has ensured an influx of officers throughout the day and night to reduce activity that would have otherwise increased.
