Local Priorities Anti Social Behaviour Message

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.

 

A Section 35 dispersal will be in place in Bromley Town Centre on Friday 27/03/2026 between the hours of 1200-2200hrs, authorised by Inspector McLaughlin.
• Avoid gathering in large groups
• Dispersal powers will be used where appropriate. Failure to comply with a dispersal order may result in arrest. Please be aware that police sanctions could negatively affect future career opportunities
• Police will be working closely with schools to identify anyone involved in adverse behaviour. This may result in additional school-based sanctions
• Even if you do not intend to cause anti-social behaviour, simply being present in an area where others are acting disorderly may lead to you being perceived as involved
• Parents/guardians: please take a moment to speak with your child about where they are going after school and offer guidance based on the points above

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.
