MY LOCAL BOBBY

Recovery of Valuables and Passport saved the day. Our bobbies helped to intercept pickpockets who were trying to steal a backpack full of valuables, including a passport needed for travel the next day. This was a very happy lady who took the time to express her gratitude in a wonderful way… ’Nice to meet you ,Mr. Red .thank you so much for your help! it will be my good memory in London this time !I wish all the kindman like you always be happy and healthy !🫡’. ✅ Community support can help turn around a bad situation and create a positive memory. #pickpocket #valuables #community

Lost Child successfully reunited with parents in Central London. Losing a child for seconds is distressing enough but losing a child for minutes in a country you’re visiting is terrifying as a parent. Your Bobbies are the eyes and ears of the street and when a child became separated from his parents in Leicester Square, their quick thinking to work with the general public and the police resulted in successfully finding his parents. 🛡 Why it matters: In busy areas like Leicester Square, quick action is crucial to ensure safety. At My Local Bobby, we’re always ready to step in and help when it matters most.

Has shoplifting really increased or do we just hear more about it? Our Bobbies have reported an increase in shoplifting on their patrols, but has shoplifting really increased? Yes it has. Here are a few reasons why this is happening: ➡️ Post-Pandemic Bounce Back: With life returning to normal after COVID-19, more people are out and about. Sadly, crime levels are also creeping back to where they were before the pandemic. ➡️ Tough Economic Times: The cost-of-living crisis is pushing some people to make desperate choices, leading to more theft and shoplifting. ➡️ Better Reporting: Improved reporting and stronger police focus on shoplifting mean we’re seeing more cases being recorded, even if the actual crime rate hasn’t changed much. ➡️ Shifts in Shopping: Shoplifting is at its highest in 20 years. As retailers become more vigilant and tech-savvy, they’re catching more incidents, which might explain the spike. The bottom line? Theft is on the rise, but it’s not just one cause—it’s a mix of factors. At My Local Bobby, we’re here to help businesses stay one step ahead with proactive security that keeps communities safe.

We're excited to announce our new approach to sharing security news with you. In our role as security and street ambassadors, we have amassed a huge library of facts and figures, security advice, economic impact and generally interesting statistics that provide context around security and crime. We'd now like to share this with you. Watch this space. #security #communitybobby #crime
