Knife-Enabled Robbery - King's Road / Fulham Road / Chelsea Green:

To reduce knife-enabled watch robberies around Fulham Road, King’s Road and Chelsea Green.

Measured by the number of such crimes reported to police.

This can be achieved by the continuation of targeted robbery patrols, high-visibility foot and cycle patrols, targeted use of stop and search tactics, and target hardening - crime prevention advice via social media and face-to-face community engagement events.

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. The number of offences has reduced since the end of summer, and has reduced further over the past 3 months, however this remains a priority crime for the area, especially as the weather grows warmer, when historically these offences begin to increase.

This will be measured and reviewed at the next Ward Panel meeting (every three months).

Burglary:

To reduce burglary offences on the ward.

Measured by the number of such crimes reported to police in these areas.

This can be achieved by high-visibility foot and cycle patrols, targeted use of stop and search tactics, and target hardening through effective use of cocooning visits, crime prevention advice via social media and face-to-face community engagement events.

Historically this type of crime tends to increase in the months leading up to Christmas, and also as the weather becomes warmer and windows are left open.

This will be measured and reviewed at the next Ward Panel meeting (every three months).

Motor Vehicle Crime:

To reduce theft of and from motor vehicles on Stanley ward.

Measured by the number of such crimes and incidents reported to police in this area.

This can be achieved by targeted high-visibility foot and cycle patrols, engagement with local residenrs and businesses to increase and improve crime prevention strategies and use of social media to improve awareness within the local community.

These types of incident have been reported increasingly frequently and have caused concern to local residents, business owners and Ward Panel members.

This will be measured and reviewed at the next Ward Panel meeting (every three months).
