Current Priorities

Issue

Conduct regular weapon sweeps in hot spot areas, community engagement with youth, partner agencies and provide crime prevention to TRA's and community groups. Increase patrols in hotspot areas identified from crime statistics.

Action

Officers have worked with both local and regional partners and specialists units within the Met to identify and take enforcement action against individuals involved in violence on the ward. A number of ASB Warning have been issued and vulnerable juveniles involved in County Lines have been subject of multi-agency safeguarding interventions.

Issue

The latter end of the previous year saw an increase in residential burglaries, particularly in the Holly Lodge area, with intruders typically accessing homes in the early evening. Valuables such as jewellery were common targets.

Action

Highgate SNT have increased efforts to tackle burglary in the ward by
- Conducting daily patrols in identified burglary hotspots during peak times.
- Carrying out regular arrest enquiries for known burglary suspects.
- Providing residents with comprehensive crime prevention resources (available at met.police.uk/burglary) and writing to and visiting nearby residents when a burglary has occured in their area.

Issue

Identify any problem addresses that could be linked with drug use/dealing and conduct warrants.
Identify any problem addresses that could be linked with drug use/dealing and conduct warrants whereby vulnerable residents are being exploited and their premises used to conduct illegal activities, negatively impacting the community.
High visibility patrols will take place in hotspot locations.

Action

Officers are working with local partner agencies, including Camden Borough Council and local housing associations to identify and take enforcement action against problem addresses. Highgate SNT has in the past months enforced a Closure Order on a problem address and executed a Drug Warrant at two addresses.
