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.

Highgate - Haringey 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.

Violence Related Priority - Although not currently an issue on the Highgate ward, Violence and VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) is an MPS priority. Issued 08 July 2025 |
Neighbourhood Policing Team to conduct both high visibility and plain clothes patrols in the Highgate area.

Actioned 19 August 2025 |

Residential Burglary - Operation Frained - Highgate is known for high value properties and vehicles and as such becomes a target for burglaries. The areas of note are around the Highgate Underground Station end of Archway Road. Issued 08 July 2025 |
Operation Frained is giving officers extra time, funding and resources to increase high visibility, plain clothes and reassurance patrols within these areas. Actioned 19 August 2025 |

Shoplifting/Theft - Highgate has seen an increase in shoplifting around Archway Rd and Highgate High St. Offenders are typically targeting high st chains such as Tescos, Sainsburys and Co-Op. However smaller independent retailers have also been targeted. Issued 08 July 2025 |
