As part of a wider policing operation to tackle violence, including violence against women and girls, this precise crime fighting tool was deployed alongside officers from Croydon and the Territorial Support Group (TSG). In addition to using the technology, the officers patrolled the areas, stopped and spoke with people, and provided reassurance to the local community.
As a result of 22 alerts by the LFR technology ten people were arrested for offences including threats to kill, recall to prison for robbery, and possession of an offensive weapon.
