West Thamesmead
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.
West Thamesmead 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 WestThamesmead@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 |
|---|---|
|
Violent Crime including Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) Issued 22 June 2026 |
High visibility patrols continue to be conducted throughout the ward to prevent violent offences, particularly along the Thames Path as an area highlighted by residents that can sometimes feel unsafe. VAWG Walk, Talk & Do events being organised by ward officers and invites to be sent out via Met Engage. Actioned 05 October 2026 |
|
Fly-tipping Issued 22 June 2026 |
Fly-tipping has been raised by local residents as a rising problem within West Thamesmead. Residents at the local ward panel in conjunction have decided that this should be a priority for the next quarter. By working in partnership with local authority and housing associations we hope to deter future incidents taking place and to apprehend any offenders found committing such offences. Actioned 05 October 2026 |
|
Drug related activities across the ward Issued 22 June 2026 |
Drug related activities have been highlighted by residents at the recent ward panel meeting as a cause for concern, leaving an impression that the area that they reside in feels unsafe to them. They have requested that police focus on drugs patrols and stop and searches in the hope of deterring suspects from loitering in the ward and giving off the impression of an unsafe environment. Actioned 05 October 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
