Hoxton East & Shoreditch 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.

To contact to your team about local policing issues, email us at HoxtonEast&Shoreditch@contact.metengage.co.uk or pick an officer to email below. (Please do not use this contact method to report crime, in an emergency always call 999 or you can report crime online at www.met.police.uk or dial 101).

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

Targeting all violence offences against Women and Girls - specifically around the Shoreditch Night Time Economy footprint and immediate surrounding areas.

Issued 18 June 2025

High visibility patrols on both foot and pedal-cycle in the hotspot areas. These are designated by local officers after reviewing crime statistics with help from the Local Intelligence Team. Monthly contact "walk, talk and do" for the public to attend in higher risk areas, where local officers will provide crime prevention advice and reassurance.

Actioned 18 September 2025

Theft - bike and mobile theft is prevalent on ward, generally bike theft appears to be concentrated around commercial areas with moderate to low foot fall such as Britannia leisure centre and Hoxton Square. Mobile theft is also prevalent throughout Shoreditch area especially along major roads with numerous exit points such as Old street and Great Eastern Street. Bike patrols maybe the most effective strategy to address such problems.

Issued 18 June 2025

Daily patrols in problem locations. A mixture of high visibility and covert foot patrols will also be carried out.

Actioned 18 September 2025

Conduct regular stairwell patrols of blocks neighbouring Hoxton Street and around New City College to deter ASB. These tend to be the most frequented by youths as well as drug users causing residents to feel unsafe as well as paraphernalia littering the communal areas.

Issued 18 June 2025

High visibility patrols within problem blocks. Police enforcement and intervention where appropriate. We will also be working with appropriate external partners including housing associations and Hackney council to tackle these issues. We encourage residents to get in touch with us either through direct contact or via 101 to discuss ASB issues across the ward. We also hold quarterly resident ward panel meetings to discuss Crime and ASB across the ward with residents.

Actioned 18 September 2025

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
