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.

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.
The priority for the Hatch End Neighbourhood team remains engagement by way of regular crime prevention initiatives and street briefings with residents.

Actioned 17 May 2025

Motor Vehicle Crime remains one of the three ward priorities for Q2.
There were 13 reported instances of Theft from MV in Hatch End Jan-Apr 25 which is a 48% decrease comparative to incidents reported between Sept-Dec 24 (25 incidents). Theft from MV remains low comparative to other wards.

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.
Drug use and drug related violence remains low in Hatch End. There have been four reported instances of drug related activity for Q1 2025, all four of which are UK Border Force investigations and pertain to the importation of drugs.

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
