Spiking Awareness Message

Spiking Awareness Message

Dear Residents,

We would like to remind everyone to remain vigilant regarding spiking incidents. Spiking is when alcohol, drugs, or other substances are added to a person's drink, food, or administered without their knowledge or consent.

To help keep yourself safe:

• Never leave your drink unattended.
• Avoid accepting drinks from people you do not know or trust.
• Keep an eye on friends and look out for one another on nights out.
• If you suddenly feel unwell, dizzy, confused, or more intoxicated than expected, seek help immediately from venue staff, friends, or the police.
• If you believe you or someone else has been spiked, report it as soon as possible.

If you witness suspicious behaviour or have concerns about spiking, please report it to the police by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency.

Together we can help keep our community safe.

Kind regards,

Your Local Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT)
Metropolitan Police Service
