REPORTING ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR (ASB)


REPORTING TO THE METROPOLITAN POLICE

https://www.met.police.uk/ro/report/asb/asb-v3/report-antisocial-behaviour/

Alternatively, the person reporting can go to the MPS website – www.met.police.uk and follow the prompts for Reporting and Anti-social Behaviour.

Reports requiring a more urgent response should always be reported via 999. Examples are: crime currently taking place and to report threatening behaviour/robbery/muggings/attempted muggings/dangerous driving.

101 can be used for less urgent reporting of Crimes, if there is no immediate threat to a person/s or property.
It is important for residents to make the fullest use possible of these means of reporting ASB. It will give the Police and Tower Hamlets Council a clearer understanding of the true scale of the ASB issues within our Ward.

Only with consistent and disciplined reporting will resources be diverted to St Katharine & Wapping to clamp down on the escalation of ASB related issues which we are currently experiencing.
It is important to report EACH & EVERY time you are subject to a disturbance, regardless how trivial.

THE COMMUNITY TRIGGER

The Community Trigger is the name generally applied to the Response to Complaints section of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. It enables victims to require agencies to carry out a review of their response to the anti-social behaviour they reported where they feel they did not get a satisfactory response. It is worth noting that the Community Trigger for LBTH can only be invoked if someone has complained 3 times in a 6 month period and feels nothing has been done.

REPORTING HOMELESSNESS AND ROUGH SLEEPING  

https://www.streetlink.org.uk/

Rough sleeping and homelessness is a concern for residents. Whilst this is relatively limited within our Ward this doesn’t necessarily mean that homelessness isn’t something that residents should not worry about. The homeless are often vulnerable and need assistance.
Streetlink enables residents to alert them to those sleeping rough within a location. This is the first step a resident can take to ensure that rough sleepers are connected to local services and get the support that is available to them.
