Hackney Wick Safer Neighbourhoods Team

Your Safer Neighbourhoods Team is a group of Met police officers dedicated to serving your community. The team is made up of officers based in your area or 'ward', supported by additional officers from the wider area.

We work closely with local authorities, community leaders and residents to decide our policing priorities for the area. This helps us to find useful, long-term solutions to local problems, while maintaining our wider focus on reducing crime across London.

Local Priority Issues

We are committed to tackling the issues that matter most to local communities. Based on our conversations with residents, and the issues they have raised with us, our main priorities are:

Priority Action taken

Robbery and Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG)

There are local concerns over violent crime, such as serious assaults and robberies, and such crime being targeted against women and girls.

Issued 20 November 2025

As part of the VAWG initiative, regular ‘Walk and Talk’ sessions take place, details of which are published online. The team also conduct joint patrols and activities with the Hackney Enforcement Officers to target ASB and criminal offenders. Due to phone and bike thefts being a continued issue, phone and bike marking events continue to take place and will be offered to local residents. Arrest enquiries will also be conducted for those who have been identified as committing violent crime.

Actioned 20 March 2026

Theft from the person has been a concern for local residents in recent months with it being one of the higher crime types on the ward, namely phone thefts in particular.

Issued 20 November 2025

Utilising up to date and relevant crime data, the team regularly target the areas where these offences are more frequently committed. The team work alongside partner agencies such as Hackney Enforcement and BTP to provide additional awareness and crime prevention as well as conducting both Hi-Vis and plain clothes patrols.

The team monitor overnight crimes on the ward and conduct extensive CCTV enquiries to identify offenders and, once identified, conduct arrest enquiries to bring those offenders to justice.

Actioned 20 March 2026

Local residents have highlighted concerns over possible increased burglaries in the area due to the festive period so this will be part of the team's key focus.

Issued 20 November 2025

The team will continue to check recently reported burglaries, conduct reassurance visits and provide relevant crime prevention advice.

The team will analyse available crime data and use the information to conduct targeted high visibility patrols in areas identified. During the course of the patrols, residents will bee spoken to and crime prevention advice leaflets distributed. Arrest enquiries will also be conducted for individuals identified as committing burglary offences,

Additionally, extensive CCTV enquiries will be conducted to identify offenders and conduct arrest enquiries on those identified.

Actioned 20 March 2026

The word cloud below represents the issues raised by residents through their Local Matters survey. We take this into consideration along with discussions with stakeholders, ward panel meetings and conversations with the public when setting our key priorities
