Graveney

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.

Graveney 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 Graveney@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

We have had recent reports of drug dealing and Class A drug users in the ABC Grid and surrounding areas.

Issued 26 May 2026

Continue to patrol the area to detect and deter drug dealing and drug use. Work in partnership with the council to create meaningful preventative measures. Where intelligence presents itself then look to respond to it in an effective and timely manner.

Actioned 26 May 2026

Burglary
Overnight checks done daily on shift. When a burglary is identified, the surrounding addresses are cocooned. High visibility patrols take place, targeting roads affected most by burglary or suspicious activity.

Issued 26 May 2026

Local officers visit victims of burglaries to provide reassurance and crime prevention advice. Crime prevention leaflets are delivered to neighbouring addresses and patrols to identified locations.

Actioned 26 May 2026

Reports of street drinking in and around Streatham Road

Issued 26 May 2026

Officers have undertaken operations in conjunction with partners from charities and the council. CPWs to be issued where applicable.

Actioned 26 May 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
