Priorities
The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) London-wide priorities from the Police & Crime Plan are as follows:
- Reducing violence and criminal exploitation
- Building safer and more confident communities
- Supporting and overseeing reform of the MPS
- Improving the Criminal Justice System and supporting victims
Findings from the JSA and Bexley Community Safety Survey suggest that the following 2025/26 BCSP priority areas that tackle high threat, risk and harm should be:
- Anti-Social Behaviour
- Serious Violence
- Domestic Abuse
- Community Reassurance – with a focus on theft, vehicle crime, and concerns of young people
In addition to these main priority areas, the following crosscutting topics will also be considered when tackling the named priorities. This is due to statistical and anecdotal evidence recognising the links to victims/perpetrators around these areas and the need for a co-ordinated partnership communication approach:
- Substance Misuse
- Mental Health
- Victim Centred Approach
- Complex Vulnerabilities
- Communications
