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.

Priority:
Serious Youth Violence
Action taken:
We are committed to further reducing our violent offences across Pollards Hill to stop a repeat of the increase in violence we saw last summer. We will do this through proactive patrols, intelligence gathering and further disruptive action taking on those we identify as being involved in these offences.
-
Priority:
Drug Offences
Action taken:
Given the large increase in drugs offence compared to last year and it being a priority that residents are concerned about from the local matters survey. We have started an operation focusing on those supplying drugs across the ward and the Borough. We will keep you updated on our results.
-
Priority:
Higher Visibility
Action taken:
Given the large concern raised at the last public meeting about police visibility, we will aim to make sure we are continuing to be seen on the estate. This will be through a mix of Met Engage registrations, making use of the Pollards Hill safer neighbourhood base and ensuring that we put out all the good work we have been doing across the ward.
