Local Policing

This point falls in the Clissold neighbourhood, covered by the Metropolitan Police.

Current local priorities

  • Robberies and phone snatch thefts have been on the rise across all North Hackney Wards. We will be working in conjunction with other North Cluster ward officers to tackle this issue.
  • We are targeting reports of drug dealing and anti-social behaviour in and around the area of Cowper Road/Wordsworth Road.
  • Cycling and e-scooter/e-bike related offences. E bikes and scooters present an ongoing issue throughout Hackney as well as on Clissold Ward. We will be running several operations tackling the use of illegal e-bikes and scooters used on roads, pedestrian walkways and within Clissold Park, seizing and issuing tickets were required.

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.
