Chelsea Riverside

Welcome to Met Engage,

We're transforming the Met to become a service that truly delivers for you.

Through our new platform Met Engage you can get to know your local officers, help shape how we police your local area and have direct access to key information and advice.

This isn't just a platform for us to tell you what we're doing in your area, it's an opportunity for you to tell us what's concerning you most so we can take action on the things that truly matter to you.

Chelsea Riverside 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.

To contact to your team about local policing issues, email us at ChelseaRiverside@contact.metengage.co.uk or pick an officer to email below. (Please do not use this contact method to report crime, in an emergency always call 999 or you can report crime online at www.met.police.uk or dial 101).

Local Priority Issues

We are committed to tackling the issues that matter most to local communities. Based on our conversations with residents, and the issues they have raised with us, our main priorities are:

Priority Action taken

Youth Violence and Anti-social Behaviour:

To reduce incidents of Serious Youth Violence (SYV) and Anti-social behaviour around the World’s End Estate.

Measured by monitoring the number of ASB reports relating to the World's End Estate and surrounding area, and the number of crime reports/CADs relating to incidents of SYV.

This can be achieved by a combination of high-visibility patrols within the estate, targeted use of stop and search tactics, weapons sweeps and joint working with RBK&C council and private security staff, supporting applications for injunctions against repeat offenders, and use of Community Protection Warnings/Community Protection Notices where appropriate.

This is repeatedly highlighted as an issue by local residents’ groups and Ward Panel members, and has been an ongoing problem for a number of years.

This will be measured and reviewed at the next Ward Panel meeting (every three months).

Issued 01 October 2026

Regular patrols in known hotspots.
Regular intelligence updates actioned upon and reassurance with residents.

Actioned 31 December 2026

Drug Use and Drug Dealing:

To reduce drug use and drug dealing in and around the World’s End estate.

Measured by the number of drug-related ASB reports relating to these areas, the number of positive stop and searches in the area and anecdotal evidence given by Ward Panel members.

This can be achieved by high-visibility patrols, cycle patrols, targeted use of stop and search tactics, intelligence-led plain-clothes proactive patrols, engagement with residents to encourage reporting of offences/use of Crimestoppers.

This issue has been highlighted by residents and Ward Panel members recently, and also evidenced by regular positive outcomes from stop and searches carried out by ward officers.

This will be measured and reviewed at the next Ward Panel meeting (every three months).

Issued 01 October 2026

Regular patrols in known hotspots.
Regular intelligence updates actioned upon and reassurance with residents.

Actioned 31 December 2026

Dangerous Cyclists
