Holland

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.

Holland 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 Holland@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
Burglary S: To reduce residential burglary offences in the streets bordering Holland Road, Holland Park Gardens and the streets north of Holland Park. M: Measured by the number of such crimes reported to police in these areas. A: 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 face-to-face community engagement events. R: This number of these type of offences has risen over the summer months. Historically this type of crime tends to increase in the months leading up to Christmas, and also as the weather becomes warmer and windows are left open. T: This will be measured and reviewed at the next WP meeting (every three months). Issued 09 July 2026	Officers have been conducting hi-visibility patrols and community engagements across the ward - Regular patrols in hotspot areas - Talking to residence who have been a victim of burglaries regarding words of advice in the future and safeguarding. - Talking to business owners, pub/café/shop staff about the goings on in the area as they are there all day every day and often have valuable intel. - Constant contact between the safer business networks and street bobbies Actioned 04 November 2026
Dangerous/Antisocial Cycling S: To target dangerous/antisocial cycling on pavements on/around Kensington High Street and Holland Park Avenue. M: Measured by number of fixed penalty notices issued, as well as anecdotal evidence seen by officers, WP members and local residents. A: This can be achieved by joint operations with neighbouring wards targeting antisocial cyclists with education and enforcement, as well as use of social media to educate and inform the local public about traffic legislation. R: This has been flagged up as a concern by WP members across the whole cluster for a number of months. T: This will be measured and reviewed at the next WP meeting (every three months).

R – Relevant There is a Met Initiative to build trust and confidence with women and girl across London There is a real potential for the loss of confidence between the police and the community and must be treated as a priority.
