Violence Related Priority

Two Hate Crime Awareness sessions have been organised by Islington Police – Public Protection Unit which Junction Ward officers were involved in the Archway area. This has crime have been a focal point for ward officers to educate residents/commuters to bring the number of reports down. The team have again arranged to stage another campaign with Islington Council in the coming weeks to give various advice concerning this type of crime.

We aimed to reduce hate crime in the ward.

Burglary

Reducing the above subject by regular patrols and offering crime prevention advice to residents especially to the vulnerable. There have been different burglary hot spots on the ward like Bickerton Road and Weatherbury Estates which the Team have made a priority to visits these areas when we are on duty.

To reduce these activities in the area.

Drug Related Crime and ASB

The team had been focusing their attention concerning drug supply and usage within the ward. Recently, proactive action has been to reduce the activities of drug supply and usage by visiting all the hot spots in the ward during our normal duties, as these activities also generates ASB, burglary, theft and other related crime. The spots the team have been visiting are located to the northern part of the ward e.g. Despard, Waterlow, and Lidyard Road. Information suggests subjects smoking drugs in front of residents porches. These crimes were originally centred on Girdlestone Estates but since Police and Council teamed up to resolve this issue by fencing the garages and reduced the bin sheds, suspects have moved to other places, hence the three roads mentioned.

Projected to reduce this by constant visitation within the hot spot areas.
