About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

Policing priorities

  • Priority:

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    Anti‑social behaviour linked to drug use and suspected drug dealing at Hainault Train Station, including the bike hub and adjacent alleyway, has been identified as a priority for Fairlop Ward. This priority replaces the previous focus on Trehearn Road following updated community concerns.
    Issues raised at the Ward Panel meeting include individuals openly smoking drugs on a near‑daily basis, groups congregating in and around the station, and behaviour causing alarm and distress to commuters, residents, and station users. This behaviour has led to increased fear of crime, reduced use of public space, and concerns around safety, particularly during commuting hours.

    Issued 20 May 2026

    Action taken:

    The Neighbourhood Policing Team will adopt a problem‑solving and enforcement‑focused approach, supported by partnership working.
    1. Increased High‑Visibility Patrols
    Conduct regular targeted patrols at Hainault Train Station, the bike hub, and the adjoining alleyway.
    Focus on peak times identified through intelligence, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends.
    Engage with station users and local residents to provide reassurance.
    2. Proactive Drug Enforcement
    Actively stop, search, and take enforcement action where grounds exist under relevant legislation.
    3. Disruption of Persistent ASB
    Identify repeat offenders responsible for ongoing anti‑social behaviour.
    Use available powers, including:
    Community Protection Warnings / Notices
    Dispersal powers where authorised
    ASB escalation through council partners
    Work to prevent individuals returning to the location to continue disruptive behaviour.
    4. Joint Working and Partnership Approach
    Work closely with:
    British Transport Police (BTP)
    Transport for London (TfL)
    London Borough of Redbridge ASB and Drug Enforcement Teams
    Share intelligence to support coordinated enforcement and longer‑term solutions.
    Support environmental improvements where appropriate, such as lighting, layout changes, or signage.
    5. Intelligence Gathering
    Encourage reporting from residents, commuters, and businesses.
    Seek CCTV from the station, nearby premises, and public spaces to identify offenders.
    Use intelligence to build profiles of key individuals and demand‑led patrols.

    Actioned 20 August 2026

  • Priority:

    Fly‑tipping has been identified as a priority issue within Trehearn Road, Saltash Road, Andrew Close, Laing Close and surrounding access roads and alleyways. Residents have reported repeated incidents of household waste, bulky items, and general refuse being unlawfully dumped, particularly in garage access roads and less‑visible areas.
    This behaviour is having a negative impact on the local environment, contributing to reduced community confidence, concerns about antisocial behaviour, and increased perceptions of crime. Residents have expressed frustration at the recurrence of the issue and have requested increased action and reassurance from police and partner agencies.

    Issued 20 May 2026

    Action taken:

    The Neighbourhood Policing Team will take the following actions:
    1. High‑Visibility Patrols
    Conduct regular, targeted patrols in Trehearn Road, Saltash Road, Andrew Close, Laing Close and surrounding alleyways, particularly during peak dumping times.
    Increase police presence to act as a deterrent and provide reassurance to residents.
    2. Intelligence‑Led Enforcement
    Work with residents to gather information regarding suspected fly‑tipping activity.
    Actively seek CCTV, doorbell footage, and witness accounts where available.
    Submit intelligence reports to build a clearer picture of repeat offenders and patterns.
    3. Partnership Working
    Work closely with the London Borough of Redbridge, including Cleansing and Enforcement teams, to:
    Establish land ownership and enforcement responsibility
    Coordinate clean‑ups of affected areas
    Support council‑led enforcement such as Fixed Penalty Notices and prosecutions where appropriate
    Share intelligence with council enforcement officers to support joint action.
    4. Community Engagement and Reassurance
    Hold street briefings and resident engagement visits in affected roads to listen to concerns, update residents on actions taken, and provide reassurance.
    Encourage residents to report fly‑tipping promptly via council reporting tools and to police where relevant.
    5. Problem‑Solving and Prevention
    Work with partners to explore longer‑term preventative measures such as:
    Improved lighting and alleyway security
    Signage warning of enforcement and penalties
    Provide crime prevention and environmental advice to residents.

    Actioned 20 August 2026

  • Priority:

    Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) has been identified as a neighbourhood priority within Fairlop Ward. This priority reflects concerns raised by residents, ward panel members, and partner agencies regarding behaviours that cause women and girls to feel unsafe, including harassment, stalking, intimidation, domestic abuse, sexual offences, and misogynistic behaviour in public and private spaces.
    VAWG has a significant impact on victims’ physical safety, mental wellbeing, and confidence to live freely within their community. Even when criminal offences are not immediately reported, fear of abuse and harassment can restrict daily routines and reduce trust in services. The Neighbourhood Policing Team recognises the importance of addressing both criminal behaviour and the wider perceptions of safety.

    Issued 20 May 2026

    Action taken:

    1. Increased Visibility and Patrols
    Conduct targeted patrols in areas where women and girls may feel vulnerable, including transport routes, shopping areas, parks, and residential locations.
    Focus patrols on days and times identified through intelligence, community feedback, and reported incidents.
    Provide reassurance by engaging directly with members of the public.
    2. Victim‑Focused Policing
    Ensure victims are treated with dignity, sensitivity, and empathy.
    Prioritise safeguarding, including referrals to specialist support services where appropriate.
    Promote confidential reporting pathways and ensure victims understand the options available to them.
    3. Partnership Working
    Work closely with partner agencies including:
    Local authority safeguarding teams
    Domestic abuse services and advocacy groups
    Health, housing, and education partners
    Support multi‑agency problem‑solving to address root causes and protect those at risk.
    4. Community Engagement and Education
    Engage with community groups, ward panels, and schools where appropriate to raise awareness of VAWG.
    Encourage bystander reporting and challenge behaviours that contribute to fear and harm.
    Use street briefings, community events, and engagement visits to share advice and reassurance.
