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.

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.

Fly tipping

During daily patrols, any fly tipping seen is reported to the council if a name and/or address can be established. If no names, a photo is taken on Clean Street and sent to the council or efficient removal ASAP. Patrols with EHO take place often.

Patrols by local officers to affected areas or reported locations of fly tipping. officers with liaise with the council enforcement officers to make them aware and assist if providing evidence.

Burglary

Overnight checks done daily on shift. When a burglary is identified, the surrounding address' are cocooned, if VICTIM is vulnerable or wants reassurance, officers will attend their home address and provide crime prevention advice. High visibility patrols take place, targeting roads affected most by burglary or suspicious activity.

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

In an emergency always call 999. If it is not an emergency, you can report crime online at www.met.police.uk or dial 101.
