St Helier 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.

Priority Action taken

Robbery and violent related offences

Continued local patrols in areas of crime, targeting those who may be committing or looking to commit crime, through the use of police powers.

Regular patrols in the Morden Town Centre area where there is most reported offences.

Burglary

Issued 11 August 2025

Officers and PCSO's will visit all victims of burglary, offering re-assurance and crime prevention advice to the community.
Working in partnership with our investigation teams we will look to identify any evidential leads, such as CCTV to pursue offenders and bring justice to victims.
Burglary on the ward has increased 14% year on year, which is something we are hoping to reverse through giving people better information to prevent them becoming victims as well as catching burglars through evidence

Pro-active operations have taken place in an attempt to tackle this issue, officers working extended or additional shifts has taken place targeting areas of high motor-vehicle crime which has lead to arrests of offenders during the deployments.
