A new night-time patrol service cracking down on antisocial behaviour and crime has begun operating in Southwark.
From Bermondsey to Sydenham Hill, the team covers the busy and diverse South London borough, with the aim of making people, particularly women, feel safer after dark.
Southwark Council’s Night Time Uniformed Patrol Service (NTUPS) launched on August 18 and has been receiving positive feedback so far, with patrols heading out seven nights a week from 6pm until 2am. The service is running as a pilot project for an initial nine months and is being delivered with security company Kingdom Services Limited.
MyLondon joined the team on a patrol around Burgess Park and the Aylesbury Estate. You can read our full feature here, and see a selection of pictures below.
