As part of the VAWG initiative, regular ‘Walk and Talk’ sessions take place, details of which are published online. The team also conduct joint patrols and activities with the Hackney Enforcement Officers to target ASB and criminal offenders. Due to phone and bike thefts being a continued issue, phone and bike marking events continue to take place and will be offered to local residents.
