NEW E-BIKES GIVE HORNCHURCH AND UPMINSTER POLICE AN EXTRA BOOST IN THE FIGHT AGAINST STREET CRIME.
Police officers in Hornchurch and Upminster are getting an extra boost in the fight against street crime, with new electric bikes being introduced to help tackle anti-social behaviour, drug activity and offences across local town centres.
The new e-bikes form part of East Area Police’s continued drive to tackle street crime and increase police visibility across the community.
The bikes will give officers another way to proactively identify crime, capture evidence and take action against those responsible.
They have been purchased in response to complaints from residents about the use of e-scooters and e-bikes in town centres, with police looking to strengthen their ability to respond to concerns and deal with offending on local streets.
As well as helping officers tackle street offences, the bikes will assist with dealing with anti-social behaviour, drug dealing and drug use.
The additional equipment will also allow officers to carry out more patrols, helping them cover local areas and remain more visible to the public.
For residents, the introduction of the e-bikes is another step in the ongoing effort to address concerns about street crime and anti-social behaviour.
Hornchurch and Upminster officers will now have access to the new bikes as part of the wider policing effort to make town centres safer and take action against those causing problems for local communities.
With residents continuing to raise concerns about behaviour in their town centres, the new bikes are intended to give officers another practical tool in tackling crime and keeping local streets safe.
