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.

Dangerous Driving and Speeding
Action taken:
Incidents of dangerous driving and speeding will be tackled by enhanced high visibility patrols and the use of Speedwatch operations, involving the use of speed cameras operated by trained police staff. Local residents are encouraged to report incidents and vehicles involved in this type of driving behaviour to help the local officers target their response. The ward PCSO has recently been trained in the implementation of Speedwatch so there will be more operations conducted going forward.

Priority:
Dangerous Dogs
Action taken:
Dedicated Ward Officers and PCSOs will work with partners including the local authority and animal organisations to tackle the issue of dangerous dogs through education and awareness of good practice for dog owners and members of the community that may interact with dogs. At the same time, we will robustly enforce legislation relating to dangerous dogs, primarily the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. The aim of this will be to reduce the number of incidents involving dogs that are reported to police.
