Your Safer Neighbourhoods Team
Your Safer Neighbourhoods Team is a group of Met police officers dedicated to serving your community. The team is made up of officers based in your area (or 'ward'), supported by additional officers from the wider area.
We work closely with local authorities, community leaders and residents to decide our policing priorities for the area. This helps us to find useful, long-term solutions to local problems, while maintaining our wider focus on reducing crime across London.
You can stay informed by signing up to MetEngage, a free messaging service that keeps you connected to what’s happening in your area. Whether its crime updates, safety advice, or news from your local policing team, you’ll get the information that matters to you when it matters most.

Priority:
Targeting all drug related anti -social behaviour across the ward
Action taken:
We have been targeting patrols in key areas where ASB is an issue. We have been using our internal intelligence systems to identify addresses that have been linked to drug related issues, executing search warrants at addresses linked to drug supply in the area. We are continuing to focus on the source of the drug related issues and working with partner agencies to assist with the drug user diversion or rehabilitation. We are interacting with drug users when appropriate and utilising stop and search powers when grounds apply.

Targeting ASB Cycle Offenders and offences and the use of illegal e-bikes.
Action taken:
We are committed to reducing anti-social behaviour linked to cycle-related offences on the ward.
Neighbourhood officers will conduct high-visibility patrols in identified hotspot locations during peak offending periods to deter offenders and provide reassurance to the community.
We are working in partnership with local agencies to enhance our response, including Community Safety Teams and Local Enforcement Team (LET) officers, ensuring a coordinated approach to tackling this issue.
In addition, we will carry out proactive, intelligence-led operations alongside neighbouring wards to maximise enforcement opportunities and disrupt repeat offenders. -
