Ward sergeant’s update |
||
|
It was lovely to receive such positive feedback from my last ward sergeant’s update, so thank you to those who took their time to reach out to me. I will make every effort to ensure these updates are shared more regularly moving forward.
As you may be aware, I currently have responsibility for both Belsize and Gospel Oak wards. This provides a valuable opportunity to flex officers across both wards as operationally required. For example, when intelligence is received regarding drug‑related anti‑social behaviour, I can deploy officers to the relevant area to help address and disrupt the issue effectively. However, sometimes due to operational demands and existing workloads, I am not always able to do this as regularly as I would ideally like.
I will ask that you please continue to report all incidents of drug‑related anti‑social behaviour online. The more information that is reported, the clearer and more comprehensive the intelligence picture becomes, allowing us to take more targeted and effective action.

Here’s what your Safer Neighbourhood Teams have been up to this week.
Three stop and searches conducted, one resulting in a community resolution being given for possession of cannabis A female arrested for being wanted for drug offences A male arrest for possession of drugs (Officers are still dealing with this as I type) Recovery of a stolen moped 22 live investigations currently being investigated. Which include ASB, harassment, assault and drug related offences. Shoplifting operation – targeting shoplifting offenders Over twenty miles of foot patrol conducted around the wards (Some officers walked more than others) Because we are human, a lunch break was also had one day
The teams also attended a cuckooing training day on Thursday, delivered by the Met’s Op Pantera+ team. The session was well attended by a range of partner agencies, including Camden Council, housing associations, drug rehabilitation services and others, which highlighted the importance of a multi‑agency approach to tackling this issue.
Cuckooed premises bring drugs, violence and drug‑related anti‑social behaviour into our communities. My teams have successfully closed four cuckooed premises and safeguarded the individuals whose homes had been taken over, preventing further harm and disruption to the area. We know there are more out there, we are hunting them down, we will get them closed and we will deal with everyone inside the premises appropriately.
For those who would like a clearer understanding of what cuckooing is and how it impacts communities, please see my separate message. It is well worth reading, as increased awareness can genuinely help save lives and help communities.
Please remember, we can’t be everywhere, but we can be anywhere.
Have a great weekend
