Anti-social behaviour

Currently looking into a couple of areas for anti-social vehicle use, joint visits have been done on Heathington Road looking into reports for drug use and anti-social gathering and vehicle use. Also receiving reports of dirt bikes being used around Swan Walk SNT are working on information gathering for this issue currently. SNT are currently in the scanning phase for ASB in Shepperton.

Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG)
From our public engagements with the community, it’s been identified that it is early hours of the morning and the hours of evening that are the most concerning, whereby inappropriate or unpleasant behaviour occurs.
Many persons identified areas around the major transport links, such as Ashford Train Station and Sunbury Underpass.

Addressing these concerns, we have increased high visibility and plain clothes patrols in these hot spots at the times identified as particularly worrying. We will work with partner agencies such as Spelthorne Borough Council and British Transport Police to find a long term solution to improve the safety in these areas.

We organise regular public engagement events and meetings to raise the public’s awareness of Violence Against Women and Girls and to give everyone an opportunity to talk to us about anything of concern.

PUBWATCH. We work at with licenced premises in Spelthorne to tackle issues such as drink spiking and alcohol related ASB towards women.

We monitor know offenders in the community and regularly assess any risk to the public. We take action as soon as it is required to protect the public.

Patrolling for drug activities

Part of our meeting and patrols around Shepperton and speaking to local leaders and residents have reported locations of interest of Drug dealing and drug taking. We will look to patrol these area’s in-order to prevent the activity and will be working alongside our Neighbourhood watch and community leaders to prevent this trouble from occurring again.

Working alongside Youth

During the Summer and Summer break we want the Youth to enjoy their time off without causing issues to residents or causing harm to others or to themselves due to behaviour and any other activities. We are looking to Patrol School end and start of the day, while also patrolling hotspot areas that may have been problematic in the past, to prevent it from re-occurring again and educating the youth about staying safe with the heat and their actions which could cause them harm.

Shoplifting and acquisitive crime

In Shepperton we have engaged with the local community and given burglary prevention advice. We have also carried out high visibility mobile patrols targeting vehicles known to be involved in burglaries.
