1. Anti-Social Behaviour

Low level disorder and anti-social behaviour is an ongoing problem at most stations in the neighbourhood. These offences occur at all times and have a detrimental effect on the feeling of security by commuters and staff alike.

Actions

• We will conduct high visibility patrols at the most prominent locations.
• We will work in partnership with staff and other agencies to robustly deal with those that behave in an anti-social manner.
• We will engage in joint operations with local Metropolitan Police and train operating companies.

Results

• During February 2012  we increased detections of anti-social behaviour by over 40% when compared to February 2011.

2. Theft Passenger property

During August 2011 analysis of the crime figures for our neighbourhood showed an increase in thefts of personal property in some areas. We are determined to detect and deter these offences from happening.

Actions

• We have increased proactive patrols in areas showing an increase in offences.
• A problem solving profile has been created to focus and record our efforts in tacking offenders.
• We are working with specialist crime squads to identify and apprehend offenders.

Results

• As we enter March 2012 incidents of theft of passenger property on our Neighbourhood continue to fall, when compared to the same period in 2011:
• January 2012 shows a drop of 40%
• February 2012 shows a drop of 30%

3. Staff assaults

Preventing staff assault remains a key focus for us and the train operating companies. This concern is regularly raised at our monthly PACT meetings.

Actions

• We work closely with our partners and provide a high visibility presence and reassurance patrols on trains and stations, to prevent offences and detect offenders.  
• We are also conducting plain clothes patrols with revenue teams at stations and on trains to ensure the revenue teams safety and apprehend any offenders. 

Results

• There have been no reports of any assaults on staff members on our Neighbourhood in January or February 2012.
