Hatch End
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.
Hatch End 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 HatchEnd@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 remains one of the three key areas to focus on for Q2 as set at the 15/04 ward panel meeting. Issued 15 April 2025 |
There have been four residential burglaries in Hatch End for Q1 Jan-Mar 25. While an impactful crime, it is one of the lowest occurring types in Hatch End. Actioned 17 May 2025 |
Motor Vehicle Crime remains one of the three ward priorities for Q2. Issued 15 April 2025 |
Building on the success of Operation Kellerton which ran between July-October 2024 the Hatch End team's priority policing response remains crime prevention, ensuring residents know not to leave there cars unlocked or any valuables on display. When an incident does occur the timely submission of CCTV helps local NPT identify and apprehend suspects. Actioned 17 May 2025 |
Violence and Drugs remain the final ward priority. Issued 15 April 2025 |
Hatch End officers are to remain proactive in their patrols of known drug use spots such as Chantry Lane, Grymsdyke Car Park and Rowlands Avenue. Actioned 17 May 2025 |
The word cloud below represents the issues raised by residents through their Local Matters survey. We take this into consideration along with discussions with stakeholders, ward panel meetings and conversations with the public when setting our key priorities
