AS ? Central South

Briefing note

14/08/2020

Dear All,

On Tuesday 11th August 2020 at around 8.45pm officers responded to reports of a disturbance in Southwark Park Road. Whilst managing the conclusion of this disturbance an officer noticed two males acting suspiciously nearby and began to walk towards them. As the officer approached they ran off and separated. The officer then proceeded to chase one of the males on foot for some time in attempt to make him stop and noticed that throughout he was fiddling with a black shoulder bag he was carrying. The chase continued into the Lucey Way estate during which time the officer chasing the male heard a thud and noted that the bag was no longer on his shoulder. The male was also attempting to remove clothing so as to change his appearance. With the support from other officers both male were eventually detained on the estate and local residents assisted officers in locating the bag that had been discarded. A large knife and a firearm containing ammunition were discovered in and near to the bag that had been dropped. Both males were arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm and possession of an offensive weapon. Officers from Trident assumed responsibility for the secondary investigation and following extensive enquiries and with supporting statements from local residents they managed to secure sufficient evidence to ensure one of the males has been charged with possession of a firearm. He has been remanded in custody to appear at Croydon Magistrates Court.

Kind Regards,

Briefing note

Friday 28th August 2020?

?

Dear all,

This is a very focused message ahead of the August bank holiday weekend to share with you Met-wide policing plans, and some of our local activity in Southwark and Lambeth.

We anticipate a number of different events taking place across the weekend, in different parts of London, and have appropriate resources in place to deal with this.

Traditionally this would be carnival weekend, however, the Notting Hill Carnival Trust made a decision, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to celebrate the event in a digital first, and host videos and playlists all online at https://nhcarnival.org/

Whilst there is no organised event in Notting Hill, we anticipate that people will still want to attend the traditional carnival location.

We also expect a number of unlicensed music events (UMEs) or gatherings to take place, and a number of demonstrations and marches.

The pan London policing operation will begin from Friday, 28 August through to Tuesday, 1 September with an experienced command team under Commander Jane Connors, the Gold Strategic Commander, with T/Commander Ade Adelekan as Silver Tactical Commander.

The policing operation will divide London into five sectors, with sector one being the traditional carnival location. An experienced public order commander will be designated to each area to support the work of the local boroughs who will engage with the local community.

Locally we continue to work very closely with Lambeth and Southwark Councils with our ongoing plans and activities to engage with residents and visitors, provide visible policing and reassurance, patrolling in areas where crime and anti-social behaviour occur, and where necessary take action to deal. Our officers will also be patrolling alongside licensing and other staff from both councils.

Throughout the pandemic, the Met?s policing approach has been the 4 E?s ? engage, explain, encourage and as a last resort, enforce. This approach will continue across the weekend and we will do everything possible to engage, explain and encourage the public not to participate in protests or other public gatherings.

This week, officers have been travelling in the MPS Engagement Bus across London, (made a stop in Windrush Square

) working in conjunction with local authorities, other blue light services to meet with communities, reminding them of the Government health restrictions, and explaining our policing style and operation. Locally our Safer Neighbourhood Teams have taken part in local community events in Lambeth and Southwark, and this continues over the weekend. ? We will also be looking to invite the Engagement Bus back to make more appearances across Southwark and Lambeth.

Our communications will be sent out via our social media platforms, and the @MetPoliceEvents account will be the main account for updates over the weekend ? please may we ask that you retweet our call to action for communities to report any information on UMEs to police, and not to attend Notting Hill as there are no events taking place, the celebration is all online so please watch those from the comfort of your home.?You can also keep up to date locally as always via @LambethMPS and @MPSSouthwark.

We would also be very grateful if you could use your influence to remind the public of the health risk and the Government health restrictions. By doing so you would be helping us to keep London safer for everyone.

?

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards,

?

Briefing note

05/09/2020

?

Dear all,

?

Thousands of additional officers were deployed across London over the Bank Holiday weekend in order to keep communities safe. Local officers were out engaging with the public as they have been over the summer period. Communities were reminded of the regulations put in place to keep them, their friends and families safe during the Coronavirus pandemic.

?

In addition to local officers, experienced public order officers were deployed to provide additional support should it have been required in response to any spontaneous incidents including protests and unlicensed music events.

?

Ahead of the weekend we published an open letter to people organising or planning to participate in public gatherings over the next few weeks. We continue to distribute this message, and would be grateful for your assistance in communicating this with your communities wherever possible: http://news.met.police.uk/news/open-letter-to-persons-organising-and-slash-or-participating-in-public-gatherings-409490

?

Extinction Rebellion

?

You may have seen coverage of the protests which have been carried out by Extinction Rebellion throughout the week. A significant policing operation has been in place since the start of these protests to minimise the disruption to communities as best as possible, and keep those involved and the public as safe as possible.

?

So far more than 500 arrests have been made ? 200 of these were made on Lambeth Bridge alone after protesters locked themselves onto bikes on the carriageway yesterday, blocking the entire bridge. Activity by Extinction Rebellion is sporadic and presents complex situations for our officers. You can see some of the challenges created by the group in our latest video here:

?

Conditions under the Public Order Act have been imposed on sections of these protests every day to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum. The latest conditions were imposed last night on a planned assembly in Parliament Square today, and a procession into the capital. Full details of these conditions can be found here: http://news.met.police.uk/news/conditions-imposed-on-planned-assembly-and-procession-by-extinction-rebellion-409851

?

Appeal

The mother of a teenage boy shot dead in a park in east London three years ago has made a plea to the public to help catch those responsible on the third anniversary of her son?s death. Corey Junior Davis was shot in the head at close range in a playground in Moore Walk, E7. Despite an extensive investigation, no one has been convicted of his murder. Please help us by sharing this appeal in your communities, no piece of information is too small and could help the investigation: http://news.met.police.uk/news/mother-of-teenage-boy-shot-dead-in-playground-three-years-ago-appeals-for-information-409852

Life-saving PC

I hope you don?t mind me sharing this with you, but you may have read about PC Mitch Howton recently who spent 23 minutes performing CPR on a male who collapsed in Surrey Quays in June. The male, Rui Andrade, now recovering, recently met up with Mitch after his sister contacted Southwark News and the BBC also picked up on the story. https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/surrey-quays-pc-mitchell-howton-rui-adrade/ and ?https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/headlines/53973057/surrey-quays-heart-attack-victim-thanks-pc-who-saved-his-life

Crime prevention

We have seen a recent increase in robberies in both Southwark and Lambeth. We have additional patrols with local officers in uniform and plain clothes, as well as dedicated cars to respond quickly to robbery calls. We are also working very closely with Lambeth and Southwark Councils as its one of our local priorities. You can find information on how to help prevent robbery here at: https://www.met.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/personal-robbery/street-robbery/??

Attempted murder, stabbing ? Surrey Quays, Shopping Centre Car Park

?

At 1215pm we received reports of a group armed with knives fighting in the car park at Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, SE16.

Attending officers found an 18-year-old male with multiple wounds to the chest, abdomen and arm. He was taken to hospital where he is being treated for potentially life-threatening and life-changing injuries.

Officers then traced suspects to an address in Bermondsey where three male juveniles were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. One suspect was treated in hospital for injuries to their hand. A fourth suspect was arrested for assisting an offender.

Further information from members of the public helped officers recover weapons believed to have been used in the attack.

The car park remains closed with a crime scene in place while detectives start their investigation.

Insp Nick Frisby has authorised extra stop & search powers under Section 60 in the area defined on the below map until 7am tomorrow, Saturday, October 17th.

Officers will be offering support to the victim and their family following this incident.

Extra patrols will be in place this weekend to provide community visibility, support and to prevent reprisals.

?

Anyone with information about this incident who has not yet spoken with police is asked to call 101 quoting CAD 2781/16OCT, Tweet @MetCC or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Briefing note

Thursday 5th November 2020

?

Dear all,

?

Since I last wrote to you we have seen the Prime Minister announce a national lockdown, which began today, for a month long period.

?

What will this mean for London? Whilst it won?t be the same as the March lock down, a significant different being our schools remain open, it will mean once again we all have to make sacrifices to protect each other and the NHS.

?

This lock down will be time limited and if we all adhere to the guidance over the four weeks it should give London an opportunity to keep the virus under control and not to see it increasing to the concerning levels faced in much of Northern England.

?

I know that the lock down period covers some important religious festivals which would normally bring communities and families together such as Diwali and how hard it will be to not celebrate in the way we would want to.

?

I also know that many people are worried about the impact on upcoming celebrations and family gatherings, such as Hanukkah and Christmas. Complying with these strict new restrictions and limiting our contact with others, working from home if you can and maintaining all the advice on wearing face coverings, washing hands and social distancing will give us the best chance to reduce future restrictions on these important events.

?

Over the past week we have seen a number of protests which have involved breaches of COVID restrictions - not having or being compliant with risk assessments - and us making a number of arrests and reporting people for fines, as a result. We have also seen several unlicensed music events or gatherings, including one where around 1,000 people attended in E14, resulting in the arrest of seven people under the coronavirus regulations for holding or being involved in the holding an event. They will be liable for a ?10,000 fixed penalty notice each. We were also called to a Christian celebration which led to one person being reported for a ?10,000 fixed penalty.

?

Each of these events risks the health of Londoners and we take these blatant and egregious breaches extremely seriously. We will continue to put extra patrols into the areas of highest COVID transmission to ensure we are doing everything we can to reduce breaches that are putting the public at risk.

?

Please use your influence to dissuade others from flouting the rule of six before we go into the next lockdown and to ensure that those who wish to protest do so safely, and within the rules. The majority of the public have been making sacrifices for many months now, to follow the rules and protect each other. It is not fair on everyone who complies with the restrictions that a small number of people flout the rules and we won?t let those who think they are above the law get away with this selfish behaviour.

?

Events in Europe

?

Following on from the horrific attacks in France last week, our thoughts go out to all those affected by the atrocious events in Vienna yesterday. Whilst the circumstances continue to be investigated, it wouldn?t be appropriate for us to comment at this time, except to say that we know that terrorists aim to create division. Londoners continue to stand together, proud of the fact that we are stronger for our differences.?

?

If you or your community?s members are feeling concerned or vulnerable as a result of recent events please contact your local ward teams for advice and support. For details for them can be found here.

?

These events sadly once again remind us of the need to stay alert and to report any concerns about suspicious activity or behaviour to police. Information from our communities can prevent someone getting groomed for extremism and help save lives. Find out more https://act.campaign.gov.uk/

?

Continuing to protect London

?

Once again over the 10 days or so there have been some excellent operational successes and cases of note that have occurred in London and across the BCU:

?

???????? We disrupted another drugs line supplying drugs across the South East, arresting the suspect with the suspected handset being used to run the line, 30 wraps of cocaine, 7 wraps of heroin and a paper deal list. He was subsequently charged with drugs supply offences and remanded in custody.

?

???????? On Thursday 29th October a number of dawn raids were executed in South London and Kent, following a joint operation targeting county lines drug dealers. In total, seven people were arrested on suspicion of drug supply, possession of criminal property and modern slavery.??20,000 in cash was also seized along with Class A and Class B substances, and a knife in one property in South Norwood. Those arrested include two men from Lambeth, one from South Norwood, two from Croydon, and two from Chatham in Kent. You can read about the story here.

???????? Following a hearing at Southwark Council Licensing Sub-Committee on Tuesday 27th October, Afrikiko Restaurant and Club had its alcohol licence revoked. Licensing officers from Southwark found that Afrikiko Restaurant in Old Kent Road, Peckham, continued acting as a nightclub and failed to abide by social-distancing rules. Despite numerous attempts by officers to engage with staff at the premises and encourage them to abide by the new regulations, there were further deliberate breaches. The licensing team will continue their work across the Boroughs to address any breaches and you are encouraged to report any activity in your area by calling 101 or reporting online here.

I would also like to highlight the following cases:

???????? Many of you will be aware of the collision near to the Elmington Estate in Camberwell involving a police car a few weeks ago. The driver of the other vehicle was arrested at the scene and a 25 year old man has been charged with two counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving. Two officers suffered severe injuries but they are recovering well and are very grateful for the kind words of support from the community. Further information can be found here

???????? The unsolved murder of Daniel Duke in Kennington eleven years ago is one of the crimes being investigated by a specialist team in the Met. Operation Traxler is now offering a ?20,000 reward to anyone who provides information that leads to the identification, arrest and prosecution of the person or people responsible.

Good morning

?

Please see a Briefing Note below about our response to the Mayor?s Action Plan as well as the incident in Edmonton last week.

?

I am sorry for the delay; I have not been on duty since it was released last Friday.

?

Thankyou all for your support

?

Briefing note

Message ? Friday, 13 November?

?

Dear all,

?

Earlier today, the Mayor, Sadiq Khan, has today published an Action Plan to further improve trust and confidence in the Metropolitan Police and to address community concerns about the use of certain police powers, and the impact on these particularly on Black Londoners.

?

The Met has worked with the Mayor?s team on the development of the Action Plan and has significant ongoing activity which will contribute to our joint ambition with the Mayor of being a police service all of London?s communities are proud of and which fully represents London.

?

In response to this publication, Commissioner Cressida Dick has released a statement. I would encourage you to read the full response which includes some of changes we have made and will be making in the future.

?

In her response, the Commissioner says: ?We have come a very long way over the last two decades, working with our many and diverse communities to build positive relationships, focus on what matters most to Londoners and recruit a workforce that reflects the city we serve.

?

?The Met wants all communities to have the same level of trust in us and aims to become the most trusted police service in the world. Lower levels of trust create challenges to keeping Londoners safe whether it is a reluctance to share information, to report crime, or to support our work to tackle violence.

?

?Our job is to protect all of London?s communities and to do so with professionalism and empathy. Some of the most serious violent crime on our streets, often involving knives and guns, affects some communities more than others.? Complex and societal reasons for this have meant this has been the case for far too long.?

?

I want to reassure you that building trust between our communities and my officers is really important to me, my team and the wider Met family and if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

?

London Residency

?

We want the best people who can police London through their understanding of the city and local issues. We know there are benefits to focusing our recruitment efforts in London, so from today, we will be re-implementing the London residency requirement for most entry routes to join us as a police officer.

?

This mean those now registering an interest in becoming a police officer with us must have lived or studied in London for a minimum of three out of the last six years.

?

Introducing this criteria will help ensure that PCs, who have key community facing roles, join with a knowledge of London so that they can readily and effectively relate to and connect with the people they serve.

?

Today, half of all Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic police officers in England and Wales ? over 5,000, work in the Met. We have nearly 2,000 Special Constables of whom about 31% are from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities and over 4,500 volunteer police cadets of which more than 43% are also from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities. There are also nearly 10,000 police staff colleagues of whom over 26% are from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities.

?

We want these numbers to increase further and have an ambition for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic officers to make up 40% of all Met officers recruited from 2022. In addition, our ambition is to also increase the overall number of black officers in the Met and continue building on the success we have seen through our Outreach Recruitment Programme to encourage more black Londoners to consider a career in policing.

?

Incident in Edmonton

?

No doubt many of you would have seen the media and social media coverage from the incident on Wednesday evening where a car was driven into the front of Edmonton Police Station. Thankfully, no one was injured and it is not being treated as terror-related.

?

A 45-year-old man was arrested at the scene and he was charged yesterday with attempted arson with intent to endanger life and criminal damage and is appearing in court today at Highbury Corner Magistrates.

?

The officers investigating are keen to speak to the members of the public who helped at the scene and ask that they contact us on 101 quoting CAD 6388 of 11 November.
