This is both verbal and physical violence targeted directly or indirectly at women and girls.

The ward panel have tasked us to publicise locally the new PSPO against street harassment focusing on those areas of heightened vulnerability. This is addition to focusing our patrols around areas that are vulnerable from the perspective of women and girls.

Drug Use and Drug Dealing.

This is a focus around both the antisocial effects of drug use but still with a focus around drug dealing and the associated antisocial behaviour and crime.

Issued 19 July 2025

Our patrols are focused on specifically around Rockley Road and around the W12 shopping centre. Community engagement has provided useful intelligence that this is the predominate area of drug dealing and use. We are working with housing providers and the local authority to reduce the attractiveness of this area to drug users while we the police are focusing on prosecuting successfully drug dealers. This is to create a hostile environment to those who sell drugs, particularly when it increases the vulnerability of those dependent on drugs.

Street Drinking.

Focus on antisocial behaviour that arises from drinking alcohol on the street and other open places.

Issued 19 July 2025

We are working with local security and the LET to create a hostile environment for those whose drinking on the street creates an antisocial environment: public urination, spitting, shouting. This is particularly prevalent around Shepherd's Bush Road and also on Rockley Road by the W12 Shopping centre.

This is through putting pressure on the local authority's drug and alcohol services as well as fining or prosecuting those who cross a line.
