On Friday 6th June 2014 I on duty in Full uniform working as the Duty Officer for the Borough of Enfield. My
working hours for this evening were 2200hrs to 0700hrs. During the early hours of the 7th June I was made aware
of a potential Rave that was in progress in a discussed Industrial Building on Progress Way. I have had a CAD
created reference 1047/7June and dispatched officers to the location to access numbers, crowd dynamics and

gather information around times the vent is likely to run until and also to make contact or identify the potential
organiser. Officers have reported back that Tyrone Benjamin and Simon Cordell where at location and the
believed the event organisers. There were approximately 200 people in attendance, the event was covered by
security officers who had stated that they were volunteers and not licences through SIA. Officers have spoken
with staff to confirm that all fire escapes where clear, that there were sufficient fire extinguishers in place and that
there were first aid kits available. The event was also being powered by generators. Staff were forthcoming with

information, but refused to allow offices inside the venue. Due to call demand during the shift and low policing
numbers it was inappropriate to enter the premises to seize the equipment and close the event, but deployed
officers to conduct regular visits to the venue, where number at their peck where 500 but reported to be quiet and
peaceful. Local authority noise team were contacted reference T548832. The event was expected to run until

0700hrs on Saturday 7th June with plans for the event to continue again later in the evening on the 7th June.
During the course of the shift we received a total of calls from local residence complaining about the noise of the
rave. On Saturday 7th June 2014 I was again on duly in full uniform working as the Borough's Duty Officer for
the hours of 2200hrs to 0700hrs. As with the previous evening 1 was mode aware again of a Rave at an empty
Warehouse of Progress Way. As with the previous evening, I have posted officers to make regular visits to the
