Wandsworth Council's tactical direction
Wandsworth Council has approved funding for 25 new police officers to be deployed under its tactical direction to enhance community safety.
Wandsworth Council approved funding for 25 new police officers in October 2026. These officers, comprising 22 Police Constables and 3 Sergeants, will be deployed under the council's tactical direction. They will work alongside existing council enforcement services and a new Integrated Enforcement Team to increase visible policing and tackle crime.
The initiative involves an investment of £3.1 million in the first year. The council's tactical direction for these officers aims to create a more coordinated, intelligence-led approach to addressing crime and anti-social behaviour across the borough.
