Local Police Team, Inspector Alex Ogilvie to present.
Minutes:
Inspector Alex Ogilvie from the Metropolitan Police told the meeting that he was the new inspector for the southwest cluster. Sergeant Azu from South Camberwell ward informed the meeting about the regular panel meetings and encouraged all to attend. The team’s focus had been anti-social behavior, opportunistic burglaries and drug offenses. Burglaries and thefts from motor vehicles had fallen as a consequence of policing and better preventative methods. Anti-social behavior was being addressed by a team patrolling the area. The team had also focused on pirate radio stations and was working with the council to shut these down.
PC Mark McKay from Camberwell Green ward said that alcohol and anti-social behaviour were the major issues. The police now had an anti-social behaviour escalation protocol which was being enforced along with verbal warnings, which would be kept on record. There had also been several arrests for drug dealing and supplying.
