The initiative, dubbed Operation Cleveland , aims to tackle anti-social behaviour in West Croydon, where one stabbing recently took place. As the Croydon Guardian reported previously, police presence in Croydon increased after several stabbings, with a number of Section 60 Orders giving officers heightened powers to stop and search people in the area. In a letter of review sent out to Croydon residents and published online on Saturday, police said that 28 arrests have been made for Drug and Violent offences in the past week.
