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 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 06 October 2025	Key proactive high vis patrol around end of school term. Actioned 31 January 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 06 October 2025	Plain clothes patrols in stairwells of towers and surrounding streets. Actioned 31 January 2026
Vehicle Related Crime To reduce Vehicle Related Crime Measured by the number of such incidents reported to police in these areas. This can be achieved by high-visibility foot and cycle patrols, targeted use of stop and search tactics, and target hardening through crime prevention advice via social media and other community engagement events, and working with RBK&C to install additional signage/CCTV on affected streets. Over the past 3 months, vehicle crime has accounted for a large proportion of the total offences on the ward. The crime maps produced for the Ward Panel show a particular concentration of these types of offences in the LOTS VILLAGE area. This concern is shared by Ward Panel members and local residents. This will be measured and reviewed at the next Ward Panel meeting (every three months). Issued 06 October 2025	Proactive patrols with RBKC yellow advice leaflets Actioned 31 January 2026
