Peckham Rye Police OP Big Wing Day

[Peckham Rye LPT]

Dear community Operation Big wing has begun today with good results around MUNDANIA ROAD SE22, with youths being held to account with parents being spoken to. Neighbourhood watch has now been increased due to the recruiting of new members through police engagement

[Jakido]

What does this mean in non police jargon?

The Brown Cow flies South tonight, my friend. But not in summer..

What were these youths doing exactly?

[Peckham Rye LPT]

They were hanging around the stair wells intimidating residence and smoking drugs.

[Louisa]

Residents not residence! Sorry but that had to be corrected.

Louisa.

[antantant]

Just pot or real drugs?

[Earl Aelfheah]

Frankly, even if they are hanging around in the stair wells drinking, I can see how residents may not like it. I know it's difficult for kids to find places to go, but the stair well of a block of flats doesn't seem a particularly smart choice.

Louisa give them a break ,maybe it was auto correct .

antanant ,pot IS a real drug .

Bet they're glad they posted .

Iknow someone who lives in Mundiana and has a rough time - I best she at least is pleased to read this .

Operation Big Wing Day, does sound a bit silly though. Sounds like it's just, 'talking to the parents of some badly behaved kids' - or 'doing the job of a community policeman'

Which actually is desperately needed these days.

Please don't post your subject title in capitals Sonny. I've amended it this time but next time I won't be so lenient.

I wondered if this was anything to do with stopping the tumble weave in rye lane. I realised I misread the op....

Yeah, of course, so why the silly name.

[Blah Blah]

Surley the name doesn't matter. This is about addressing anti-social behaviour, something that impacts in many ways. If the Police do nothing they are criticised. When they do something which sounds like sensible community policing, everyone focuses on what they name the exerise.

[Earl Aelfheah]

An unintelligible post about POLICE OP BIG WING DAY!!! is silly and fails to convey what the police have actually been doing. That was my point. It would be better to say - "we've been doing some really good work recently in the community - speaking to the parents of badly behaved kids and helping to significantly cut down on levels of anti social behaviour."

Thought is was bingo wing day. Sounded like something salsaboy might get excited about.

I thought it was something to do with having a wing ding,
