POLICING – abridged letter from Ross, September 8, 2021
…you will no doubt be aware that Wireless Festival is to take place this Friday, Saturday & Sunday in Crystal Palace Park. I understand having such a large event taking place nearby may be concerning, but the policing plan for Wireless has been resourced centrally & the amount of officers deployed to it is significant. I have seen the policing plan (sorry, I’m not permitted to share the document itself) & to summarise, each day we have well over 400 officers including mounted officers & public order officers assigned to keep this event & local area safe. I hope this will reassure you all that should there be crime or anti social behaviour linked to Wireless, that we are in a very good position to deal with it. Attached is a document from event organisers with some further information regarding the management of the festival & also contact details for their community team, so please reach out to them if you have further queries.
One final thing regarding Wireless. If on Friday/Saturday/Sunday there is something occurring in the area that you believe in linked to Wireless Festival & you want to call it into police, then please say you believe it is Wireless related when you contact us. The reason for this is that the call handlers will need to direct the call to the correct officers to deal with. If you simply said something is occurring on street XYZ Street in Dulwich, then it will get sent hard stretched Southwark Officers. If you also mention that you believe it’s linked to people at or going to/from Wireless, then the call will be sent to some of the many officers assigned to this event to deal with, so you will get a better & quicker response. I hope that makes sense.
