Crime in Arsenal, Islington

In similarity to both of our priorities to target VAWG, Violent offences, we will use similar tactics with the addition and plain clothed patrols to identify offenders and remove them from your streets.

We are working with our specialist colleagues in proctive teams to use the very best tactics and knowledge to see our detection and reduction rates improve.

We are now working with our Licensing Unit to understand the vulnerabilities of our nigh time economy. This will see better police visibility during the evenings of Friday and Saturday.

Your SNT team will implement the following actions:

Visible patrols in your areas of concern.
Work in Partnership with your local authority to implement preventative measures to see a reduction in such crime, whilst increasing public confidence.
Work with seldom heard communities to ensure that a wider capture of fears and concerns are accounted for to enable the best possible policing response.
Work with Islington Faith Forums to gain better communication with those female victims who have not reported offences that need to be accounted for. We will not be data biased.

We will continue to be visible in our policing. We will actively target those areas are considered a 'hotspot' for violent offences.

We are working with our partners to see other tactics used. This includes dual patrolling with security teams to strengthen and widen patrol areas.

We have made Violent Offences a priority for both Op Nightingale and Clear, Hold, Build. With these government led initiatives, we are supported in providing additional patrol hours.
