West Green

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.

West Green 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 WestGreen@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
Local crime statistics and concerns raised at the recent ward panel meeting indicate a significant problem with robbery and theft offences occurring in the Turnpike Lane Station area of the ward. Issued 06 June 2025	Operations have already taken place at Turnpike Lane Station making use of knife arches and drugs dogs to target offenders and allow officers to make the most effective use of stop and search powers. Live facial recognition van has also been deployed to the area in days of action to locate wanted offenders in the locality. In May the team deployed the Met Engagement van to raise awareness of the issue and provide the public with crime prevention advice. The team will continue to deploy in the area to detect and deter offending. Actioned 06 September 2025
The Milton Road Community Group has recently raised concerns about drug use and supply within the Willow Walk and Milton Road area of the ward. Residents have raised concerns about drug users congregating, collecting and using drugs which is impacting on the quality of life in the area. Issued 06 June 2025	The team have increased patrols in the area in effort to deter and detect the behaviour complained about. Those found persistently in the area responsible for the offending behaviour have been targeted with anti-social behaviour warnings. The team have attended a meeting with the local community group to listen to concerns and obtain detailed information on the offending so that patrol times and tactics can be refined to resolve the problem. The team will attend a further meeting on the 30th June at the community centre. Actioned 06 September 2025

A breach of these notices is a crime punishable by a fine. Actioned 06 September 2025
