Earl's Court 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.

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
Robbery and Burglary: To reduce incidents of Robbery and Burglary in the Earl’s Court area. The incidences of robbery and burglary can be monitored by the number of crime reports and ASB reports relating to robbery and attempted robbery. This can be achieved by the continuation of high-visibility foot and cycle patrols, vehicle patrols, variation of shifts to include late and night shifts, targeted use of stop and search tactics, and target hardening. We also provide crime prevention advice and engagement via social media. Earl’s Court SNT officers regularly change their shifts to combat robbery and burglary, and conduct stop and search where grounds exist. Robbery and burglary patrols are conducted on the Earl's Court Road and surrounding streets. The Earl's Court ward panel members are often given crime prevention advice regarding knife-point robberies. Plain clothes operations can also be considered with neighbouring wards to further disrupt robbery if required. Issued 17 October 2025	SNT conduct regular proactive patrols around the ward at all times of the day. Following residential burglaries, 'cocooning' visits will be completed at the address and with neighbours to provide advice and reassurance to residents. Actioned 31 January 2026
Drugs: To combat Anti-social Behaviour (ASB) linked to drugs in Earl's Court. This can be monitored by the number of crime reports, intelligence reports and ASB reports relating to drugs, as well as the anecdotal evidence seen by officers, Ward Panel members and local residents. This can be achieved by a combination of high-visibility patrols within the highlighted area, joint working with RBK&C Street Enforcement Team officers, robust enforcement of PSPO legislation and effective use of CPWs/CPNs to deter offenders. Issued 17 October 2025	SNT approach drug issues using a multi-pronged approach. This includes partnership work with the council, housing associations and other organisations. This is in addition to regular proactive patrols, search warrants, and other tactics. Earl’s Court officers have been proactive in obtaining two very successful warrants recently, recovering approx. £30,000 of drugs. Drug users have reported that the area is currently ‘too hot’ for drugs and they are going elsewhere. Local drug users are regularly stopped and searched, leading to a number of arrests and community resolutions. The drug hotspots in Earl's Court around Nevern Square, Nevern Place, Trebovir Road and Templeton Place are patrolled when officers are on duty. Actioned 31 January 2026
Motor Vehicle Crime: To combat motor vehicle crime in Earl's Court.
