ASB in the Edgware town centre with a particular focus on restoring the public and key stakeholder trust in the police. Encouraging people to return to the town centre and feel safe to work, commute and shop there.

Issued: 1 Apr 2026

Working with Broadwalk Shopping Centre and shops to empower them to feel safer and report shopliftings and assaults on staff.

Robbery and open space violence (Including Violence against Women and Girls)

Better joined up working with NW Priority Crime Unit (Robbery team) to share intelligence and proactively target known robbery nominals
Target knife carriers through innovative and new policing tactics.

Burglary

Reduction in Burglary offences with a lean towards education and prevention.
Burglary is a problem that effects the whole ward and analysis would suggest this is done by travelling criminals, targeting high value vehicles and smaller items like jewellery and currency.

As a ward team it is imperative we educate the people of Edgware to protect themselves against this sort of crime

Issued: 1 Apr 2026

Status Update

Hold at least 3 Burglary Outreach events per month (Street briefings and security checks)
Proactively identify and challenge security issues whilst on routine patrols
Liase with NW Burglary Team to identify patterns of offending in the area to give the most up to date advice.

Actioned: 1 Apr 2026
