The prevention of motor vehicle crime remains a significant focus due to ongoing reports of theft from vehicles and the theft of high-value keyless entry vehicles. The ward panel has agreed that this issue warrants continued attention and resources.

Hotspot Monitoring The team will consistently monitor crime reports related to motor vehicle incidents, focusing on identified hotspot areas to implement targeted patrols.

Both high-visibility and plainclothes officers will patrol areas known for motor vehicle crime, particularly during times when such crimes are most likely to occur.

Officers will personally contact victims of motor vehicle crime to offer relevant crime prevention advice, ensuring they feel supported and informed. This outreach will also provide valuable insights into community concerns and experiences.

The team will enhance awareness efforts by utilising the ward's Twitter account, monthly newsletter, and community events to share crime prevention tips related to vehicle security and the importance of reporting suspicious activity.

Overall, these strategies aim to create a safer environment in Southgate by engaging with the community, fostering trust, and ensuring a proactive police presence to deter crime effectively.

Officers have been patrolling the above areas regularly to monitor the ASB issues.
We will continue to patrol the location to reduce ASB by giving out ASB warnings, Community Protection Notice (CPNs) stops and searches and arrest if necessary.

Heightened patrols have taken place, resulting in community interactions and CPN’s being issued to people causing ASB. Officers will continue to find innovative ways to tackle this problem over the following month to ensure no reoccurrence, but we ask the public to report any signs of potential drug dealing, ASB, etc., no matter how small it may seem. If any community members would also like to be part of a walk-along patrol to discuss this issue, please use the contact forms on this site.

Days of Action planned in coming week High Vis patrols targeting known offenders. PMP also to be created as per MPS policy for all ward priorities.
