The team are out later… I’m off to court this afternoon with the beggar I arrested before Christmas.
He was charged again yesterday with begging & breach of his Community Protection Notice conditions again yesterday.
For the attention of those who post updates onto SE23.Com - I’m not on there - sorry!

Do u have any info on a mugging on Dartmouth Rd last night that I saw reported on a local Facebook group? Apparently five youths with faces covered, taking advantage of the quietness of closed D Rd attacked a man walking home.
We are aware of the offence…
If anyone has any information re this (occurred 13/02/18 @ 2330) please call 101.
Suspects described as 5 x Asian males a/ages 18.
There will be increased patrols by us and our response team colleagues.

Now back to find the team working hard compiling reports for various partners.

It’s was a busy day yesterday… It started with PC Kate and me having a chat about her 6 month probationary review - all good so far!
PC Richard and PC Gillian were in early to visit a victim of harassment in Perry Vale. They were able to take a statement and view footage. The suspect was issued with a First Instance Harassment Warning. They will be keeping an eye on this.
PCSO Andrea was out and about in Perry Vale too - visiting community groups etc. PC Richard has started the process of obtaining a Criminal Behaviour Order against one of our local people of concern.
PC Mick and PC Sam were on patrol in Forest Hill town centre. PC Mick had some good news. The beggar he arrested for breach of her Community Protection Notice last week pleaded guilty and received a £180 fine.
PCSO Amie was away Emergency Life Support training yesterday so was the only one not about.
PCs Kate and Rob were out and about in Crofton Park. PC Kate held a Contact Point meeting. PCSO Aaron joined her.
I assisted PC Gillian and PC Richard with an arrest enquiry. No luck this time… then we managed to sneak a quick coffee at the lovely Brown and Green cafe in Mayow Park where we kicked a few footballs about with the kids!
It’s all about the community!
After that I met up with PCSO Andrea in Perry Vale and we patrolled Dartmouth Road - popping into Sugar Mountain to chat with Pauline about the forthcoming Street event that we hope to support with horses and a crime prevention stall.
Then back through Perry Vale. Always great to get out on foot.
The day ended with PC Kate receiving a number of short notice and lengthy actions from the CPS for a harassment case she dealt with and which is going to court next week (!). All had to be completed ASAP so PC Sam and I stayed late with her to get them sorted. Why do memos always come on a Friday evening when you want to get away??? 
I even found time to pop into see JK Banquets about a parking issue…
A busy day!
Have a great weekend SE23.life!

A busy few days for the team…
Patrols around all the Se23 wards - case preparation including an application for a Criminal Behaviour Order - Contact Points - ongoing training and career development attachments - more patrols - visiting a family who need support from us and the local authority - ‘Coffee with a Copper’ - proactive stop and searches - arrests of wanted offenders - school visits to speak to our younger citizens about road safety - advice to our older citizens about personal safety and crime prevention - planning a joint operation (more on that soon) and much much more… including time for the odd cup of tea!
Spoke today with one of the residents, he uses a small shed in our block on the ground floor. Last week smbd broke into his shed and stole his tools, broke the wall from inside and accessed the neighbouring shed. Also 2-3 weeks ago, one of our residents car was broken into. Bampton Estate has evasion of burglars by the look of it. Not sure how to keep those bad people away.
Has there been any update on getting a camera installed in the “muggers alley”?
Dear SE23…
It’s going to turn very cold over the next week & snow 
️ is expected - so spend some time checking on your elderly/infirm neighbours welfare.
And take care on icy roads!

If you mean the Shipman Road/Sunderland Road alley then a report was sent to Lewisham Council by PC Gillian after I visited with council officers a while back.
We were told that they would only be able to put up a temporary camera. I will ask PC Gillian to chase this up.
However we haven’t had any reports of incidents there for some time.

I have complained to the council on several occasions about residents from a nearby house (local authority) who BLAST music from the property and their cars for hours on end. It mostly happens in the summer when their windows and my windows are open and unfortunately I can’t close my windows due to the heat so have to suffer with the noise all day.
It’s not at particularly unsociable hours but the bass and the noise is so loud it’s intolerable and the vibrations can be felt in my flat which is on the opposite side of the street 3 floors up. On top of this their “mates” will come round and loiter outside the house in their cars again usually accompanied by the music. I have never heard back from the council and it occurs every year. Do you respond to anti social behaviour such as loud music sgt Biddle or have any suggestions as I’m at my wits end.
Hi,
Noise issues are dealt with by the local authority. Police have no powers to deal unfortunately. Please email me with details and I’ll pass it on.

Kids on mopeds - this weekend we had a couple of kids on a moped drive right up in to the private grounds of our block of flats, throw a bottle at the window of a ground floor flat and shout abuse and make rude gestures to a resident. They were wearing helmets and appeared to have covered up the license plate of the bike.
We reported it to the 101 emergency number.
Not all of us have a big fur coat like a Wookie so take care of yourself on the roads & pavements and look in on your elderly neighbours in the freezing weather!

Aren’t we meant to start a new topic for spring now that March is here (even if spring is some way away)?
We held off on account of the inevitable sarcastic comments…
spoil sport 
I am certain you meant hysterically funny and poignant commentary.
Ok ok - I can’t keep my face straight.
