ALT Section 60 Authorised – North West London (7 – 8 August 2024) We've authorised Section 60 powers until 2am on Thursday, 8 August across parts of Harrow and Hillingdon as we prepare to deal with any potential disorder. Section 60 gives officers extra powers to stop and search people and also requires people to remove face coverings used to disguise their appearance.

ALT Superintendent Zubin Writer said: “We’re aware of plans circulating on social media relating to potential events across Harrow tomorrow evening. “Our communities will undoubtedly be concerned having seen the horrendous images from across the country where innocent members of the public and officers have been attacked. “We want to reassure the residents of Harrow that the police will not tolerate racism or acts of thuggery on our streets. “Our message to all of those seeking to cause violence and divide our communities is clear – your actions are completely unacceptable and anyone taking part will face the full force of the law.
