Crystal Palace & Anerley

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.

Crystal Palace & Anerley 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 CrystalPalace&Anerley@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).

Priority Action taken

Gang Related Violence / Robberies Crystal Palace Park

Issued 08 October 2025

Actioned 19 December 2025

ASB on Seymour Villas and Tovil Close

Issued 08 October 2025

The local team will look to act in partnership with the local authority and other partner agencies to coordinate a multi agency approach with a view to reducing incidents of ASB in public spaces such as Betts Park. This will be done via a mixture of high visibility and plain clothes patrols along with joint visits with partner agencies to persistent offenders.
