#LookCloser campaign

Throughout the last week we have had a heightened focus on targeting those at the centre of County Lines offending and those who often exploit young and vulnerable people into running drugs across the UK. We are supporting a campaign by the Children’s Society which asks everyone to #LookCloser – there are a number of signs the campaign asks people to look out for and report if they spot.

Please help us protect young and vulnerable people by sharing this campaign and its important message with your partners and communities. More information is available here.

We have been sharing this on our social media channels regularly, an example available to share is here: https://twitter.com/metpoliceuk/status/1306307020715438083?s=20

This approach will help us to ensure an effective response to any potential increases in Covid-19 cases across Lewisham, Royal Greenwich or Bexley and maintain services to our communities. Thank you for your help in keeping London safe.
