Status Update
VAWG related event at High Street Kensington to offer women and girls crime prevention advice e.g. on drink spiking, domestic abuse and staying safe.
Queen’s Gate Officers will carry our regular late evening patrols with focus around enhanced High visibility presence in and around transport hubs where females often feel vulnerable, particularly late in the evening, including Kensington High Street Tube and buses travelling along Kensington High Street.

Robbery:
To reduce knife-enabled watch robberies around Gloucester Road and Kensington High Street.
Measured by the number of such crimes reported to police.
This can be achieved by operations targeting robbery hotspot areas, high-visibility foot and cycle patrols, targeted use of stop and search tactics, and target hardening - crime prevention advice and engagement via social media - 'Look Up, Look Out' campaign.
This issue has been prevalent across AW BCU, and recent months have seen offences spreading from Westminster into RBK&C. A number of these offences have received viral coverage on social media, and this type of crime continues to be a matter of concern for Ward Panel members.
This will be measured and reviewed at the next Ward Panel meeting (every three months).
