Valentines

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 speak to your local team about policing issues, and find out how you can get involved, you can email them at Valentines.snt@met.police.uk.

In an emergency always call 999.

If it is not an emergency, you can report crime online at www.met.police.uk or dial 101.

We regularly speak to local residents to establish what issues they may be experiencing in the area. The word cloud below represents the issues that residents of Valentines have highlighted as priorities for the area recently. Word clouds are graphical representations of word frequency that give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently. The larger the word in the visual below the more common the word was in the local survey.

Violence Related Priority

1 VAWG (met priority)

Hosting coffee mornings in cafes and hotels, as well as conducting "walk and talks" in Valentines Park, are part of our initiative. Additionally, we will be patrolling the transport hub by York Road during peak hours to provide crime prevention measures and reassurance to the public.

Community Safety

Night time and evening safety for residents in the area of York Road & Cranbrook Road.

High-visibility patrols are conducted on foot in high-crime areas identified by residents as unsafe, distributing crime prevention tips and contact information through door-to-door outreach. Additionally, social media is utilized to inform residents about the activities of the Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) and any upcoming events, including areas with high pedestrian traffic.

Theft From motor Vehicle:

Target areas of high motor vehicle crime in Valentines Ward.

Increased patrols will be deployed in regions with high rates of theft from motor vehicles. A study will be carried out to track the locations and times of these incidents, in order to introduce focused patrols. Crime prevention leaflets will be distributed directly to households and shared on social media platforms to promote awareness.

In an emergency always call 999. If it is not an emergency, you can report crime online at www.met.police.uk or dial 101.
