Local Priorities Anti Social Behaviour Message

Please review the following update regarding Anti Social Behaviour which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

 

Last night an unannounced and unlicensed pop-up music event occurred within the ward.

They initially tried to set up on Buck Street NW1 but were quickly moved on by Police and Camden Council CSEO's. The DJ then set up on Prowse Street NW1 under the railway, police quickly attended along with partner agencies and the music was shut down very quickly.

A Section 35 Dispersal Power was authorised however the crowd of approximately 1000 people quickly dispersed of their own accord without any need to use this power.

We will always look to deal robustly with this sort on Unlicensed Music Event where possible as we are aware of the impact that it has on the local community and the risks involved for those attending, on this occasion from the first call to police to the crowd being dispersed took only 90 minutes.

Antisocial behaviour can come in many forms and can require support from more organisations than just the police. There are 13 different types of antisocial behaviour that we may be able to help with, including abandoned vehicles, littering or drugs paraphernalia and street drinking. A full list of what we categorise as antisocial behaviour is available on our website.  

If you have witnessed or experienced antisocial behaviour, you can report it online.

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.met.police.uk/, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.  

Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
