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.

Rayners Lane 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
Violent Crime Issued 22 March 2025	This is the MPS priority set in the ward panel. The local ward police team will dedicate focus on a greater awareness of Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG). The police will specifically conduct proactive engagement with the relevant demographics and other demographics who wish to highlight issues. A minimum of two events will be held within the ward and one of these will operate in the vicinity of Rayners Lane Tube Station. The team will gather relevant information about where people feel unsafe and also address the perception of crime. A comprehensive intelligence and information picture will be developed over the period which will be presented to the ward panel and will be analysed to establish if there are available interventions This process is intended to better understand the problem, previous interactions of this nature have been well received and well attended and therefore this should be achievable. This links to violence and the fear of violence, it is therefore relevant. This engagement will commence for three months and should be sufficient time to develop an understanding of local issues. Rayners Lane SNT PC's and PCSO have conducted regular mobile and foot patrols across the ward during various times of the day. We have completed daily weapons sweeps at various locations especially at hot spots, such as service roads on ALEXANDRA AVENUE and concealed staircases. Operation GOODRICH: Local ward officers have been patrolling RAYNERS LANE STATION to engage with girls and women to make them aware about the VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) and issue literature, give advice and encourage women and girls to report any unsafe streets on STREET SAFE. Actioned 22 March 2025
Substance Abuse Issued 22 March 2025	The SNT will target offenders abusing substances in the ward, utilising Achilles heels tactics to disrupt and deter offending, including use of the Public Space Protection Order. Where intelligence is received about supply or use, the team will actively use all powers available to disrupt these offenders and obtain evidence of these offences. Officers will continue to engage with the community to identify areas where these issues are prevalent, including engaging with local businesses and enforcing licence conditions for the sale of alcohol. The SNT will record encounters and present these results to the ward panel. Officers will be present in the community and come across issues for substance abuse, paying specific attention to these problems will make this goal achievable. This has been sighted as an issue on the survey and by the ward panel and therefore it is relevant. This priority has been set for 3 months and will be reviewed at the next Ward panel meeting on 15/08/25. Patrols in area known for the most drug use, such as, Alexander Avenue and Rayner Lane and Community Protection Warnings and Community Protection Notices will be issued to nominals known to police for drug. Research and intelligence gathering underway for consideration of targeted individuals and addresses for enforcement action. High visibility Patrols taken place in locations where the majority of incidents take place. Local contact with residents and local shop keepers to alleviate their concerns. Street briefings across roads where issues have occurred to notify public of police action and for intelligence gathering. Actioned 22 March 2025
Burglary Issued 22 March 2025	The local ward police team will dedicate focus on the prevention and detection of burglaries. The police will specifically identify all allegations of burglary within the ward, including both residential and non-residential burglaries. The team will complete local enquiries and complete CCTV trawls in order to identify suspect leads and contribute towards investigations of these offences. The team will identify the most prolific offenders and use Achilles heels tactics with these individuals to remove their opportunity to commit these offences. The team will proactively engage and support the priority crime unit to assist with their investigations and help to develop linked series of offences where there are opportunities to do so. The team will actively promote crime prevention advice for specified roads within the ward that are a greater risk of Asian Gold thefts which are known to increase at this time of year. The proactive operation will be led by the team targeting offenders, crime prevention is a within the capacity of the team to deliver and therefore this is achievable The panel have elected this priority, this has been corroborated by the ward panel survey and it is relevant to the local area.
