Harringay

Your local Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) in Harringay is aware of ongoing concerns regarding drug use and suspected dealing in the Harringay Ladder, Green Lanes, and the Finsbury Park area.

We want to reassure residents that your local officers are actively working to tackle these issues. Our approach includes:

High-visibility patrols to deter criminal activity and provide reassurance

Plain-clothes patrols to identify and disrupt offenders

Stop and search activity, where appropriate, to proactively target those involved in crime

Close partnership working with local authorities and partner agencies to address the root causes and support longer-term solutions

These policing actions can lead to a range of outcomes, including arrests, warnings, and the gathering of intelligence, all of which help us build a clearer picture of offending and take effective action against those responsible.

We understand the impact this activity can have on the community and remain committed to making the area safer for everyone.

Crime Prevention Advice

You can help protect your neighbourhood by:

Being alert to unusual or frequent short visits to properties, especially at odd hours

Reporting groups congregating in secluded areas where drug use may occur

Ensuring communal doors and gates are kept secure and not left open

Avoiding direct confrontation—your safety is the priority

Reporting Information

Your information plays a vital role in helping us identify problem locations and individuals. Even small details can make a difference and allow us to better target our patrols and operations.

Please report:

Suspicious behaviour or suspected drug activity via 101 or online via the Metropolitan Police website

Crimes in progress via 999

By working together, we can continue to improve the safety of our community.

Thank you for your continued support.
