Launched in December 2023, the Love Finsbury Park initiative brought together the Metropolitan Police and various local councils to combat crime in Finsbury Park. With over 600 arrests, significant amounts of drugs and weapons were seized, leading to notable drops in crime rates. Inspector Ross Hickman emphasized the importance of the 'Clear, Hold, Build' strategy in targeted policing efforts. Local efforts to improve communal environments also play a critical role, with the aim to enhance safety and reduce criminal activity even further in the community.
I want to hear local people saying that they actually feel safer. That's a real incentive for us to come to work every day to protect the public.
Joint action - like our recent success in securing funding to improve lighting under the bridge in Stroud Green Road - is central to the success of Love Finsbury Park.
