Finsbury Park

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.

To contact to your team about local policing issues, email us at FinsburyPark@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

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.

Issued 27 June 2025

Your SNT team will impliment the following actions:

Visible patrols in your areas of concern.

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

Work with seldom heard communities to ensure that a wider capture of fears and concerns are accounted for to enable the best possible policing response.

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.

Actioned 31 August 2025

Targeting areas where violence against the person offences are recorded, increasing patrols and engagement with the public.

Issued 27 June 2025

We will continue to be visible in our policing. We will actively target those areas are considered a 'hotspot' for violent offences.

We are working with our partners to see other tactics used. This includes dual patrolling with security teams to strengthen and widen patrol areas.

We have made Violent Offences a priority for both Op Nightingale and Clear, Hold, Build. With these government led initiatives, we are supported in providing additional patrol hours.

Actioned 31 August 2025

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 etc

Issued 27 June 2025

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 31 August 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
