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.
Join thousands of others who are already receiving trusted updates from their local police.

Violence Against Women & Girls (VAWG).
Three years ago, Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley pledged to make London a Safer City for women and girls. Some of the initiatives already underway on Kensington & Chelsea borough include "Walk, Talk & Do" along with monthly VAWG engagement stands across Kensington & Chelsea with initiatives to highlight areas across the borough where Women & Girls feel particularly vulnerable. Local Neighbourhood officers are working in partnership with Licensed premises to promote "ASK ANGELA", an Initiative in pubs & bars that allows people feeling unsafe, vulnerable or threatened to discreetly seek help by asking bar staff for "ANGELA" .Action taken:
