To coordinate safety activities and address local problems, the Community Safety Partnership brings together police, health services, statutory officials, and community organizations.
Involving residents in safety initiatives is encouraged by public reporting channels for noise, disruptive behavior, and other problems.
“He was taken to hospital, where his injuries were assessed as non-life-changing and non-life-threatening. No arrests have been made, and police are making urgent enquiries.”
What measures are being taken to ensure community safety in Hackney?
The goals of Hackney’s Serious Violence Duty Strategy (2024–2027) are to stop hate crimes, violence in the nighttime economy, gang and adolescent violence (including robbery and knife crime), and violence against women and girls.
In order to avoid and support violent crime, this method entails concerted efforts from the police, council, and community organizations.
In addition to offering support services like Young Hackney’s substance abuse programme, which provides guidance and counselling to young people aged 6 to 25 who are impacted by substance usage, the council strives to disrupt drug markets.
In order to address antisocial conduct, noise complaints, flytipping, graffiti, and other environmental issues, Hackney has 28 uniformed enforcement officers who collect intelligence and offer fines or notifications. To keep things safe and orderly, they collaborate closely with companies and the police.
