Crime continues to fall in London with more than 46,500 fewer crimes committed during the past financial year.

The Metropolitan Police Service’s latest crime figures for the financial year 2013/14 show a 6.2 per cent reduction in offences in the capital compared with the previous 12-month period.

A series of proactive measures to cut crime have been rolled out across London. These include regular high visibility ‘Big Wing’ operations engaging staff right across the MPS in joint action to target specific areas of crime, ranging from mobile phone crime to burglary.

We have seen an overall decrease in property crime and we will continue to make use of all the MPS specialist resources across Harrow in addition to our dedicated borough teams to make further progress and ultimately fewer victims.

Operations Cubo, Ringtone and Big Wing are to name but a few of the many proactive activities we undertake across the borough to help make Harrow the safest borough in London.
