Penge & Cator
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.
Penge & Cator 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 Penge&Cator@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 |
|---|---|
|
Shoplifting on the High Street Issued 01 July 2026 |
To target the persistent offenders committing a large volume of crime on a small number of venues. SNT officers will work with the targeted venues to quickly share information and evidence to secure convictions. Actioned 01 September 2026 |
|
Theft from motor vehicles Issued 01 June 2026 |
There has been a recent spike in theft from motor vehicles on the ward. A lot of this is opportunistic but there is also a rise in crime overnight. Penge and Cator SNT will conduct more late night patrols to look to deal catch offenders. Actioned 01 September 2026 |
|
Drug dealing in Penge Issued 01 June 2026 |
There has been a marked increase in addresses being cuckooed as well as the associated drug dealing. After several notable successes the priority is to continue to take action against problem addresses. Actioned 01 September 2026 |
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
