  • New Police Leadership: We welcome Sgt Darren Bond, our new SNT lead. While we bid a fond farewell to PC Dove and PC Wells in February, a new officer joins the team this November to maintain our "Gold Standard" status.
  • Targeting Burglary & Theft: Police are actively identifying bike owners following Wapping High Street burglaries. A reminder: thefts from inside secure buildings are classified as burglaries. Residents in unsecure blocks are urged to take parcels in immediately.
