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 |

Burglary Issued 18 June 2026 |
There has been a recent increase to residential burglary over the past 3 months so this has been raised as a key priority by the local residents.

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.

Arrest enquiries will also be conducted for those who have been identified as committing violent crime. Actioned 30 September 2026 |
