VAWG

Issued 12 October 2026

This is the MPS priority set in the ward panel. The local ward police team will dedicate focus on a greater awareness of Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG). The police will specifically conduct proactive engagement with the relevant demographics and other demographics who wish to highlight issues. A minimum of two events will be held within the ward and one of these will operate in the vicinity of Rayners Lane Tube Station.

The team will gather relevant information about where people feel unsafe and also address the perception of crime. A comprehensive intelligence and information picture will be developed over the period which will be presented to the ward panel and will be analysed to establish if there are available interventions

This process is intended to better understand the problem, previous interactions of this nature have been well received and well attended and therefore this should be achievable. This links to violence and the fear of violence, it is therefore relevant. This engagement will commence for three months and should be sufficient time to develop an understanding of local issues.

Rayners Lane SNT PC's and PCSO have conducted regular mobile and foot patrols across the ward during various times of the day. We have completed daily weapons sweeps at various locations especially at hot spots, such as service roads on ALEXANDRA AVENUE and concealed staircases.

Operation GOODRICH: Local ward officers have been patrolling RAYNERS LANE STATION to engage with girls and women to make them aware about the VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) and issue literature, give advice and encourage women and girls to report any unsafe streets on STREET SAFE.
