Police have revealed that crime levels in the borough have continued to fall and seen an increase in officers.

During the last 18 months, the police have focused on tackling local crime and anti-social behaviour as it changes its local policing model.

In Enfield there were 61 neighbourhood officers in 2011 compared with 144 posts in the new model.

In the borough, there has been a fall in the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime offences such as GBH, burglary and theft by 1,860 since 2011/12 while anti-social behaviour reports have reduced by 3,281 in the last 12 months.

In addition, as a result of Operation Spyder, there have been 1,132 less vehicle crime offences since 2013.

Borough Commander Jane Johnson said: “The introduction of the Local Policing Model has been of significant benefit to Enfield with extra police officers being added to the Borough establishment. Many of the additional officers have been invested in our Neighbourhoods with over double the number of officers we previously had.

“I am extremely proud of the work we have been carrying out and the crime reduction we have achieved translating into many fewer victims.

“We continue to work hard to improve victim satisfaction and to increase the confidence of our communities in the policing service we deliver for Enfield.”
