Sexual Offences on TfL services (3)

Project Guardian aims to increase the confidence of reporting sexual offences which occur on the London public transport network, and reduce the risk of becoming a victim by proactively targeting offenders. 

The targets set for the project are:

- an increase in the number of sexual offences reported on the London transport network

- an increase in the number of detections for sexual crimes on the London transport network

The outcomes from the first year of the project include:

- An increase in the number reported offences

- bespoke training delivered to over 2,000 frontline police officers to help them spot offender behaviour and provide enhanced victim care

- regular enforcement periods of action, with over 100 police officers undertaking covert patrols and surveillance at targeted individuals

- regular community engagement weeks of action at transport hubs and at bus garages.
