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.
Your Safer Neighbourhood Team ( SNT ) is a group of local officers dedicated to serving the community. The team is made up of officers and PCSO’s based in your area, supported by additional officers from the wider area.
We work closely with Local Authorities, community leaders and residents to decide out policing priorities for your area. This helps us to find useful, long term solutions to local problems,
