Current Priorities

Issue

Preventing violence against women and girls by identifying known hotspots. High visibility patrols will be conducted by ward officers, engagement and enforcement activities will take place.

Issue

Work to address the increase in shoplifting offences in Hampstead Town

Action

SNT Officers have faciliated a community group to better share intellegience and crime prevention advice.
OP DAIM was launched by the SNT to specifically target the arrest of prolofic offenders. This has resulted in a number of arrests, most notably two prolific offenders have received custodial sentences.

Issue

The SNT will focus on increasing high-visibility patrols across key locations within the ward to provide reassurance to the community, deter crime and ASB, and build stronger engagement with residents and local businesses.

Action

Officers have conducted regular foot patrols at peak times, attended community events, and responded to local concerns raised through the ward panel.
The team have been hosting regular 'Cuppa with a Copper' sessions, ensuring that these are advertised on this section of the Met website.

We have achieved this by proactively managing our time — blocking out our roster to ensure dedicated patrol periods and completing detailed work returns to account for our activity on the ward. This approach has enabled us to maintain regular high-visibility patrols, engage with residents, and provide reassurance to the community.

Since January 2025, 270 officer hours have been specifically dedicated to foot patrol within Hampstead Town.
