Bromley Neighbourhood Watch Association Met’s Cyber Crime Unit update

In the wake of the tragic incident in Southport and protests and rioting across the country, this matter is affecting our national security and has caused concerns for communities. Police are doing what they can to keep the public safe, uphold the law and bring offenders to justice. Members of communities have been assisting police on this matter which is greatly appreciated. Please report any information or concern regarding protests through this link below or call 101: Something you’ve seen or heard | Metropolitan Police

If a protest or gathering is witnessed in any area from any group or urgent police assistance is needed, call 999 immediately.  Please do not inform individual police officers before taking the above steps. In a given situation, officers may not have access to their emails, which affects their ability to take the necessary action. 

Further to the above, there’s a range of safety advice that’s available on Public Safety Advice | ProtectUK for businesses and the public, applicable whenever people need protection. Even when events are violent crime, disorder and criminal damage, rather than terrorism offences, the following advice is potentially useful.

We aim to keep you up-to-date with news from the Met’s Cyber Crime Unit, local Police, Bromley Council and Action Fraud, among many others. Please forward this to your members, friends and family.
