'Operation Blunt'
This has been set up to tackle the recent increase in violent & deadly youth crime in London. Police officers have been given increased powers to carry out stop & search on individuals in the hope of seizing weapons and drugs from potential perpetrators to prevent these crimes before they take place. This commenced on the 19th May 2008 in The Borough of Richmond and the police have set up 'Knife Arches' in strategic places which will detect metal. You may be asked to walk through one of these detectors somewhere on your travels but, as the reason behind them is to prevent more deaths of youths on our streets, it is a small inconvenience considering the hopeful outcome. Any concerns about this can be addressed to the Safer Neighbourhood Team.

Youth Panel
This new programme has been set up for youngsters to meet their Safer Neighbourhood Team and express their views about policing the youth of this ward. It is a friendly meeting where young people can get to know the local police and air their concerns and even offer advice to the police on how best to tackle crime problems within their community. The last meeting took place recently and some excellent points were raised by those present. The first advice that the Youth Panel gave to the police was that they should visit primary schools in uniform in order to allow young children to get to know them better. The point was made that the only time a young person does get to know the police is when they have misbehaved and committed a crime. It was felt that if young people understood the purpose of the police and knew them on a more personal level they may be able to approach them more easily in the future if they needed help. This could also help to resolve the growing problem of underage drinking in children of just 9 and 10 years old. If these young offenders were to realise the consequences by talking with the police before they took up drinking it may act as a prevention. The second piece of advice the youngsters gave was that police should also visit secondary schools in partial uniform during the lunch breaks so that individuals could approach them and air their concerns and worries on a more personal level. The next meeting of the Youth Panel will take place in July. Please refer back here for the place, date and time or contact Sgt Suzanne Pearce of the Safer Neighbourhood Team for more information:

The Community and Police Partnership (CPP for short) consists of people drawn from the local community and the Police.

The Council’s Community Safety Partnership, Environmental Planning and Review and Environmental and Operational Services are also represented. partnership with the community
The Police and the CPP consider the partnership with the community to be a priority. Only by stimulating interest in and creating an awareness of its work, can the CPP develop an effective channel of communication between the Police and the public. The CPP represents you as a member of this community. To represent you effectively, we need to meet you and listen to what you have to say. Policing issues in the Borough are a matter for all of us within our local Police Division. With the spirit of co-operation we can work to resolve these issues. Agendas for meetings can be found in all of the Borough’s libraries and on the Council’s website – www.richmond.gov.uk. All meetings are held at York House, Richmond Road, Twickenham starting at 7.00pm. Please do find the time to come along.

how to avoid becoming a victim of crime
Advice from the Safer Neighbourhood Team:  | Thefts from vehicles, which is a particular problem in this area, can be avoided by never leaving anything visible to attract the attention of a potential thief. There have been cases recently where cars have been broken into for something as simple as a pair of cheap sunglasses or loose change left in full view. | | Over the Christmas period house burglaries always increase. Throwing out the boxes which your Christmas presents came in advertises to the burglar what he may find in your home. Your house then gets added to his 'shopping bag'. It is worth making the effort to cut up boxes and place them inside bin bags or better still take them to the cardboard recycling bank at Taylor Close, Hampton Hill TW12 1NL. (behind the Hampton Garden Chinese Restaurant, 169 High Street) | | There is a 'Single Point of Contact' telephone number which you can ring anytime to report any problems you may be experiencing. Use it to report graffiti, vandalism, thieves stealing the items left outside our three charity shops, anti social behaviour, noise problems in fact anything which is against the law and causing you a grievance. All residents, particularly young people, are encouraged to add this number to the contacts in their mobile phone. Our younger residents often experience threats and abuse by the groups of youths that we see drinking and making a general nuisance of themselves in the area and have no idea who to turn to. No one needs to be afraid to walk in our streets; And do not be afraid to make that call. The team are very friendly and helpful. The whole purpose of the Safer Neighbourhood Team is to make our village a safer place to live. They can't do that if you don't call them!!

Police use of 'Stop & Search' Powers under the Terrorism Act 2000 Background
The threat from terrorism is real and serious, and terrorists can strike at anytime and any place without warning. This is evident from the recent attacks in London and Glasgow. The primary function of the Metropolitan Police Service is to make London safe. Terrorists plan and prepare for attacks; therefore it is vitally important that officers use all the powers available to them to combat terrorism. One such tactic is the use of 'Stop and Search'. Officers already have the powers to stop and search people from a range of legislation. However, S44 of the Terrorism Act 2000 is slightly different in that 'No grounds are required' by the officer conducting the search. But before an officer can use these powers they have to be authorised at the highest level. Assistant Commissioner Specialist Operations, in the MPS, has given this authority which he reviews on a regular basis. Purpose
The purpose of this communiqué is to inform key strategic partners and the community of Richmond upon Thames of the likely increased activity of 'Stop and Search' by officers on this borough. Key Messages | ► | There will be an increased use of S44 Terrorism Act Powers by officers in Richmond upon Thames
| | ► | There is no specific threat identified in Richmond upon Thames at this time and the community should not be alarmed by increased officers use of this power.
| | ► | This is a tactic being used to deter and disrupt terrorist activity across London and to create a hostile environment for terrorists to operate.
| | ► | This is a preventative power and officers will use it to reduce the risk of terrorism activity, to gtaher intelligence and provide visible reassurance to the public.
| | ► | Officers require no grounds to use this power but must be in uniform, must explain why they are using the power and must supply a copy of the form to the person being stopped.
| | ► | The Assistant Commissioner Specialist Operations will constantly review the use and authorisation of this power.
| | ► | Public support is critical and we understand that being stopped or searched by the police may cause an inconvenience. It is the duty of the MPS to protect London and the co-operation and patience of the public will help achieve this. |
Safeguards in the use of this power | ► | The Community will be made aware of the increased use of this power and be provided with data on its use.
| | ► | The Borough Commander will ensure that officer use of this power is monitored and scrutinised, particularly in relation to disproportional use. |
