About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

    Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)

    Violence Against Women and Girls has been identified as a key priority within the ward, with concerns raised about locations where women and girls feel unsafe. Reports of harassment, abuse, and violence continue to affect confidence and safety, particularly in public spaces and during peak times.

    Analysis of reports and intelligence highlights specific locations and time periods where risks are higher, including areas linked to the night-time economy and open spaces. Feedback from women and girls within the community has been instrumental in identifying these concerns, shaping understanding of vulnerability, and highlighting the need for visible policing and early intervention to prevent escalation.

    Officers will conduct targeted high-visibility patrols in identified locations, particularly at times when concerns are greatest. All reports of harassment, abuse, or violence will be responded to robustly, with full investigations carried out and victims supported throughout. The team will work closely with partner agencies and licensed premises to safeguard those at risk, while identifying, disrupting, and arresting offenders where appropriate. Patrol strategies and activity will be informed by ongoing engagement with women and girls to ensure policing reflects their lived experiences.

    Success will be measured through increased reporting confidence, a reduction in VAWG-related incidents in identified hotspots, and positive feedback from the community. Ongoing assessment will consider the effectiveness of patrols, partnership activity, and enforcement in improving safety and delivering sustained reassurance to women and girls across the ward.

    Issued 01 June 2026

    Action taken:

    We have already started targeted leaflet drops and high visibility patrols in areas affected by antisocial behaviour. We have also increased public engagement events, giving residents and businesses more opportunities to speak directly with local officers. Details of upcoming events are shared on the Met Engage platform, where you can meet members of the team and tell us about any concerns affecting your area.

    On 18th July, officers held a community engagement stand on Kentish Town Road, speaking with women and girls about their safety concerns while also providing leaflets and personal safety advice.
    Please look out for upcoming posts inviting women and girls to join officers on a ward walk, giving further opportunities to share concerns in real time.

    Antisocial Behaviour (ASB)

    Antisocial behaviour (ASB) has been identified as a recurring concern within the ward, with particular locations and individuals linked to repeat incidents. Reports indicate ongoing issues affecting community safety and quality of life, with some cases involving vulnerable individuals or escalating into criminal behaviour.

    A review of ASB incidents shows patterns of repeat calls linked to specific hotspots and individuals. These patterns suggest that a small number of offenders and locations are responsible for a disproportionate level of harm. Some incidents involve vulnerability, indicating a need for safeguarding considerations alongside enforcement. Without intervention, there is a risk of continued harm and escalation into more serious offences.

    Officers will Conduct high-visibility patrols in identified hotspot areas to deter ASB and reassure the public.
    Review reported incidents to identify repeat locations and offenders.
    Take appropriate enforcement action where behaviour crosses into criminality or involves risk to vulnerable persons.
    Use a combination of enforcement and partnership working with relevant agencies to address underlying causes and prevent reoccurrence.
    Apply available ASB tools and powers, including:
    ASB warnings
    Notices
    Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs)
    to manage and deter persistent offenders.

    Success will be measured by:
    A reduction in repeat ASB incidents at identified locations.
    Decreased demand linked to known individuals.
    Increased community confidence and reassurance.
    Evidence of effective use of enforcement powers and partnership interventions leading to sustained behavioural change.

    Enforcing cycling offences

    Cycling offences have been identified as a concern within the ward, particularly behaviours that pose a risk to pedestrians and other road users. Issues include cycling on pavements, failing to stop at red lights, and riding in a careless or antisocial manner, contributing to community safety concerns and complaints.

    A review of incidents and community feedback indicates that these offences often occur in areas with high pedestrian footfall, increasing the risk of collisions and injury. Patterns suggest a mix of deliberate non-compliance and a lack of awareness of road traffic laws, with some locations experiencing repeat issues linked to particular individuals or peak times.

    Officers will carry out targeted patrols in identified problem areas, engaging with cyclists to provide education and advice on safe and lawful cycling. Where appropriate, enforcement action will be taken, including issuing warnings, fixed penalty notices, or reporting offenders. A combined approach of engagement, education, and enforcement will be used to improve behaviour and promote safer use of the road network, with partnership working supporting wider road safety initiatives.

    Success will be measured through a reduction in reported cycling offences and related complaints, improved compliance with road traffic laws, and increased public confidence in safety across the ward. Consideration will also be given to whether engagement and enforcement activity has led to sustained behavioural change over time.

    Issued 01 June 2026

    Action taken:

    We have already taken enforcement action, issuing our first Fixed Penalty Notice on Kentish Town Road to a cyclist who failed to comply with a red traffic signal. Officers will receive targeted input from experienced colleagues to ensure cycling offences are dealt with correctly and that prosecutions are pursued where appropriate. Joint ward operations are also being planned to address cycling offences both on our ward and across neighbouring wards.

    18/06/26
    On 18th June, ward officers conducted a targeted operation at the junction of Kentish Town Road, Leighton Road, and Regis Road, focusing on cycling offences. The operation ran for a two-hour period and was led by our PCSOs.

    During the course of the operation, a total of 23 Fixed Penalty Notices were issued. These were for offences including cycling on the pavement and failing to comply with red traffic signals.
    The activity highlighted both the scale of the issue and our commitment to addressing behaviours that put pedestrians and other road users at risk.
