General crime

Cockfosters' crime rate continues to track low-mid table compared to other areas in Enfield. Nevertheless, there were over ???? reported crimes in our area in ????..

CLARA is therefore active in supporting the community to combat crime and anti-social behaviour and works closely with our Local Police Team on two current areas of focus:

• Supporting the Local Police Team in setting up Neighbourhood Watch in the Cockfosters Area

• Supporting residents with anti-social behaviour issues around late night venues.

NeighbourHood Watch Scheme (NHW)

Barnet Borough Cockfosters Residents have OWL (Online Watch Link). OWL sends you the latest crime alerts via a shared platform. To see if your street is set-up go to owl.co.uk and click ‘Join a Watch’.

Enfield Borough Cockfosters Residents have a specific NHW scheme for the Hadley Wood & Cockfosters areas. We are also pleased to have OWL (Online Watch Link) now in Enfield Borough. OWL is complementary, not an alternative, to the existing Neighbourhood Watch scheme. The unique and well-run NHW WhatsApp Groups in Cockfosters and Hadley Wood will not be affected and will continue to operate as normal.

NHW in Cockfosters

CLARA has successfully supported the Local Police Team to set up NHW across a number of Cockfosters roads. These roads have a designated ‘Street Coordinator’ and a good number of residents signed-up. However, for optimal results all residents in the road need to be signed-up.

To Join: If you are not already a member of the NHW scheme, we urge you to sign-up. Simply email CLARA at mail@claracockfosters.org.uk telling us which is your road and we'll put you in touch with your Street Coordinator. If you don’t have a Street Coordinator, we’ll work with you to set up NHW in your road.

It doesn’t cost anything to be a member of NHW and with advances in technology and mobile phones, it’s very quick and easy for each resident to play an active role in keeping their street safe.
