Local Policing
This point falls in the St Paul's Cray neighbourhood, covered by the Metropolitan Police.
Current local priorities
- There has been a notable rise in the reporting of dog related offences across the ward. Offences include dogs being dangerously out of control in both public and private settings, as well as possessing prohibited breeds without an exception certificate.
- Residents report excessive speed by motorists at various locations throughout the ward. Officers are committed to holding two speed awareness/enforcement operations across the ward cluster and where possible, will include input from Roads Transport Policing Command (RTPC) and utilize ANPR technology to identify offenders and contribute to road safety as part of our commitment to vision zero.
- "Cuckooing" is defined as the criminal exploitation of vulnerable people, involving the use of their homes as a base for criminal activities, through intimidation, or in exchange for drugs. The impact of persons being cuckooed can be extremely harmful, not just to those directly involved, but to the wider community, through increased drug use/supply and ASB.

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.
- 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.
