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.

  • Priority:

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    1. Violence Related Priority: Over recent months the COOP store on Plaistow Road E13 has been the target of high frequency shoplifting amounting to tens of thousands of pounds in losses each week. On numerous occasions the individuals responsible have used various weapons against security and store staff, causing fear and distress.

    Issued 08 June 2026

    Action taken:

    Action: Officers are working closely with MITIE who have provided an analyst to monitor the offences and provide crucial evidence to assist in prosecutions.
    So far officers have been successful in securing over 60 charges on numerous prolific offenders, significantly reducing losses and providing reassurance to shop staff and local resident.

    Actioned 08 June 2026

  • Priority:

    Drug Supply : An increased number of drug dealing offences have been reported in the late evening and early hours of the morning across the ward.

    Issued 08 June 2026

    Action taken:

    Action: Working alongside Emergency Response Team to attend and deal with these calls as they are reported and subsequently deal with any identified offenders and vehicles.

    Actioned 08 June 2026

  • Priority:

    Robberies: Robberies taking place along the length of the Greenway continue to be reported. There has been an increase in robberies at the location with the introduction of the darker evenings. These robberies occur in the later afternoon and evening and occur along the Greenway across the BCU by offenders on foot and utilising pedal cycles to carry out theft snatches.

    Issued 08 June 2026

    Action taken:

    Action: When practical to do so officers carryout patrols along the Greenway providing a high visibility reassurance as well as identifying anyone involved in robbery offences.

    Utilising the use of pedal cycles for cycle trained officers that can respond to offences quicker.

    Request the assistance of proactive assets on the BCU as well as mounted officers from MO7 Taskforce.
