from the success Impact and Kamsha had on the area, with Clapham Junction
seeing a 30% reduction. The robbery squad is being supported by Transport
for London, Territorial Support Group, Mounted Patrol, Safer Neighbourhood
Teams and officers with police dogs. The operational budget has been
increased to bolster the numbers required to achieve the result of
cracking robbery/snatches.
DC Geoff Church, said, �We are working as a team with our partner
agencies to curtail street crime in the area. We will be a visible
presence on the streets to catch criminals and reassure the public.
What you won�t see are our surveillance and CCTV officers, who will
be watching the streets, building intelligence.�
Working with Wandsworth Borough Council in CCTV surveillance has proved
valuable in reducing street crime and identifying persistent offenders.
Plain clothed police officers will be on patrol, liaising with CCTV
& surveillance officers. School liaison officers will be tackling
problems caused by youths and talking to schools in how they can work
together.
