Priority:
Robbery/Theft - Theft and Robbery remains the highest crime type on Finsbury Park with the bulk of offences occurring in and around Finsbury park tube station/Seven Sisters road.
Action taken:
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.

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. -
