Crime in Addison, Hammersmith and Fulham

To combat drug use and dealing we have been working with proactive units, along with regular patrols of areas affected. We have executed a closure order at an address just over the border into Addison which was a source of a great deal of drug related ASB.

We are working with the council to utilise the new Public Spaces Protection Orders in the area, which includes new powers to deal with street drinking.

There have been a number of burglaries in the area over the last few months. By working with the community, council, and neighbourhood watch groups we aim to reduce this and deter and detect offenders. We are ensuring we carry out regular patrols in the area. We are also targeting known offenders, and periodically carry out night shifts.

Brook Green and Addison wards have a slightly higher rate of theft from and theft of motor vehicle offences compared to neighbouring areas. As with burglary we are targeting known offenders and altering our shifts to work at times when there are more offences. We encourage all residents to report any crimes or suspicious circumstances to us so that we can build an accurate picture of offending in the area, better equipping us to prevent and detect crime.
