Local Policing
This point falls in the Brixton Windrush neighbourhood, covered by the Metropolitan Police.
Current local priorities
- Concerns continue to be raised by the community about drug dealing within the WINDRUSH SQUARE area and the use of drugs on the surrounding residential roads such as Brixton Road (O/S Brixton LT station), Electric Avenue, Atlantic Road, and Brixton Road towards the LT station, Windrush Square, Rushcroft Road, Coldharbour Lane, Saulton Road, Mervan Road, Effra Road etc. This also leads to rough sleeping on front door steps and damage to property. In response to this officers and partner agencies will perform a number of targeted patrols in and around the Town Centre at peak times
- As ever this remains a priority and is a specific BCU priority. SNT officers will make VAWG an operational priority across the Ward and look for innovative ways to deliver better results. SNT officers will increase external scrutiny of our response; making sure that engagement with women and girls and the voluntary and community sector, continuous and deeper than it has been before.
- We're aware of high levels of Anti Social Behaviour on our Ward. Concerns have been raised by both Partners and Residents on multiple occasions.

How to Read This
Designed for travel planning, not certainty.
- Recent street-level incidents within the selected radius are weighted by category.
- Violence, robbery, weapons and burglary carry higher weight than lower-severity categories.
- A stable neighbourhood baseline from the official English Indices of Deprivation crime domain anchors the score.
- Dense central visitor areas are normalized so footfall does not automatically imply danger.
- Improving recent trend slightly lifts the score; a rising trend lowers it.
- The score is indicative and based only on public recorded crime data, not a guarantee of personal safety.
