...birthplace of Greenwich Mean Time, but for years the area was as well known for its mean streets: 19 Greenwich neighborhoods rank among the most deprived in England. Since 2001, the local council has pursued a major state-funded regeneration program aimed at cutting crime and unemployment, and improving the decaying public housing stock. But these days, coexisting with the urban blight, are plenty of new, well-heeled residents in new, well-appointed residences: bankers and others who work at Canary Wharf, the docklands development where Barclays, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and many others have their offices.

...Operation Leopard succeeds, then, by simply depositing officers in a trouble area, and letting their presence act as a deterrent. By the end of the night of TIME's visit, no crimes had been reported on the Craylands Estate. As one officers said later over a cup of tea back at the station: "They see that we are out in force and so they hide in their home. You can dress up what we do with fancy operational names, but it's just policing - you put bobbies on the street, and crime goes down. It ain't rocket science...
