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.

The ward panel have decided to keep the priorities the same but have added shoplifting at Tesco. This will be reviewed at the next ward panel meeting which is taking place on the 16th September 2026.
    Targeted patrols in and around the area during times the offences are occurring. Liaising with members of the public to issue crime prevention advice & forming a partnership working model with the council and bordering borough. Street briefing on the roads affected to find out if there are any unreported crimes.
    Wanstead Park SNT will also conduct high visibility patrols around hotspot areas before and after school. We also plan events such as crime stalls and street briefings, liaising with members of the public to issue crime prevention advice.

    S - Reduce the number of Robberies and shoplifting offences
    M - Use crime statistics to measure crimes occurrence
    A - Surrounding area on the school can be targeted as well as Tesco
    R - Councillors and members of the public have identified this area

  • Priority:

    Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) and Drug Activity.
    The ward priorities were discussed at the last ward panel meeting which took place on the 10th June 2026. Residents reported of ASB and Drug use on around Northumberland Avenue, St. Gabriels Close, Clavering Road, Wanstead Park Ave and Queenswood Gardens. Targeted patrols will be conducted on hotpot areas to deter these activities. This priority will be reviewed at the next ward panel meeting on the 16th September 2026.

    Issued 10 June 2026

    Action taken:

    The ward priorities were discussed at the last ward panel meeting which took place on the 10th June 2026. The ward panel have decided to change the priority from Burglaries to ASB/ Drug use at particular hotspots on the ward. This decision was made as Burglaries are an existing priority for the REDBRIDGE borough and remains an important issue for the MET police. It was agreed that specific problems to the ward should take priority. This will be reviewed at the next ward panel meeting which is taking place on the 16th September 2026.

    Extra patrols of the affected streets at the specific times they have been reported in a covert manner & high visibility patrols. Partnership working with the council to make residents aware of crime prevention tactics plus provide reassurance.

    S - Reduce ASB and drug use.
    M - Use crime statistics to measure crimes occurrence
    A - Target areas of known offences and surrounding streets. High Visibility patrols and partnership working.
    R - Councillors, members of the public and crime statistics have identified these hotspots.
    T – Over the next three months before the next ward panel meetings.

  • Priority:

    Motor vehicle Theft & Interference

    The ward priorities were discussed at the last ward panel meeting which took place on 10th June 2026. The ward panel have decided to keep the priorities the same. This will be reviewed at the next ward panel meeting which is taking place on the 16th September 2026.

    Issued 10 June 2026

    Action taken:

    This priority remains the same as the past ones due to being ratified by the most recent ward panel as it is still a concern that the residents feel SNT should be focusing on:
    Reduce theft of motor vehicle & theft from motor vehicle on key streets on the ward (Woodlands Avenue and the road surrounding Warren Road and other streets in the vicinity) over the next three months. In accordance with problem orientated policing.
    SNT officers will also conduct high visibility patrols and covert patrols from unmarked vehicles. We host regular events to offer crime prevention advice such as street briefings, crime stalls, and cuppa with coppa. We also plan operations such as Op Moberly to proactively reduce MV crime.

    S - Reduce Motor Vehicle crime and interference.
    M - Use crime statistics to measure crimes occurrence
    A - Target areas of known offences and surrounding streets. High Visibility patrols and partnership working.
