If anyone is wondering what the Orange handheld item is on the Officers Vest - its a DNA tagging spray that can be used to spray from a distance on the bandits and their clothes, bikes/scooters/getaway vehicles etc, so that the spray can be then used to link them to a specific crime, should they be lost then recaptured later etc. It can cling to clothing and evidence etc and cannot be washed off for about 6 months. - Just like a unique smart ink that is used each time on patrol etc.

back in august, i went to the city with a couple of friends on our bikes for the day. my mates bike was stolen at southbank skatepark and we chased the thief down right to where they are filming at 7.19. thankfully abdi liban and umar were undercover and saw everything unfold. they quickly arrested him and told me even that they knew who he was and had been arrested many times before for bike theft. the bike was not even 2 days old and was my friends birthday present, worth over £900. if these 3 werent there that day he probably wouldnt have got the bike back, thanks guys.

I must say the Inspector has a remarkable number of awards that I’ve ever seen on a Police Officer. I wish him well as well as his team and continue with the great work.

I grew up in Belfast during the 60’s where we didn’t have community policing like this. I think this is very important for locals. Good job Met.

Kill switches should be on every smart phone to render them worthless to thieves & to stop them being used in other countries. It should be enshrined in law. Advise the public never to use their phones on London streets. Go inside or find a quiet spot ideally with barriers. Wear a crossbody bag at all times. In your car, plant an Air Tag so that, if stolen, the police can easily track your car. Help the police by not making yourself a target. The police deserve our every support, cooperation & respect. This is great work, guys.
