Chaucer

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.

To speak to your local team about policing issues, and find out how you can get involved, you can email them at SNTMD-.Chaucer@met.police.uk.

In an emergency always call 999.

If it is not an emergency, you can report crime online at www.met.police.uk or dial 101.

We regularly speak to local residents to establish what issues they may be experiencing in the area. The word cloud below represents the issues that residents of Chaucer have highlighted as priorities for the area recently. Word clouds are graphical representations of word frequency that give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently. The larger the word in the visual below the more common the word was in the local survey.

Violence Related Priority

To tackle violence and knife crime across the capital, working tirelessly to remove knives, firearms and other offensive weapons from the streets to protect Londoners and bring offenders to justice.

The team have been conducting weapons sweeps on the ward and removing any weapons found.

Anti-social Behaviour/drug use

A lot of the Anti-social Behaviour reports on our ward are connected to drug use and drug dealing. We have a high number of people begging near London Bridge and using our ward to take drugs.

The team have closed a number of properties in the area that had been attracting the local drug users. This has reduced the ASB and drug use on the ward.

Robberies

Chaucer ward has seen a high number of phone snatch offences.

High-visibility patrols and crime prevention advice has been given to members of the community.

In an emergency always call 999. If it is not an emergency, you can report crime online at www.met.police.uk or dial 101.
