Welcome to Met Engage,

We're transforming the Met to become a service that truly delivers for you.

Through our new platform Met Engage you can get to know your local officers, help shape how we police your local area and have direct access to key information and advice.

This isn't just a platform for us to tell you what we're doing in your area, it's an opportunity for you to tell us what's concerning you most so we can take action on the things that truly matter to you.

Finsbury Park 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/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. Issued 10 February 2026	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. Actioned 10 February 2026
VAWG - Violence Against Women and Girls continues to be priority for your Finsbury Park SNT. Community concerns continue to be specific to the area of Finsbury Park Station and Blackstock Road.

Work in Partnership with your local authority to implement preventative measures to see a reduction in such crime, whilst increasing public confidence.

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.

Violence - Targeting areas where violence against the person offences are recorded, increasing patrols and engagement with the public Issued 10 February 2026	We will continue to be visible in our policing.
