Whitton

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.

Whitton 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 Whitton@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

Violence against women and girls in and around Whitton High Street. Agreed at Police Liaison Group community meeting on 11/09/2025.

Issued 04 December 2025

Ward Officers have conducted regular targeted patrols across our community and have concentrated these patrols in the evenings and later-on, when women and girls have often reported feeling most vulnerable.
We have conducted “walk and Talks” involving female officers ‘buddying up’ with women from their communities to go out on patrol in open spaces, to discuss their experiences, concerns and reflections.
We have held numerous Awareness Stalls at several events across the community to offer advice and raise awareness on the issue of Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG).

Actioned 15 March 2026

ASB around Whitton High Street and parks & open spaces on the ward.

Issued 04 December 2025

Regular patrols are completed in and around our open spaces. We have identified peak times, increased patrols at these times and requested additional police resources when required. Anti-Social Behaviour warnings issued to offenders with legal notices to desist or be arrested issued to those found to be repeatedly causing Anti-Social Behaviour in our community.
We have conducted regular joint patrols with Richmond Council’s Park Guard officers to engage with those community members using our parks and open spaces and listen to their concerns. During these patrols we have conducted weapons sweeps and found and removed a number of discarded or hidden weapons from our community.

Actioned 15 March 2026

Residential Burglary.

Issued 04 December 2025

We will continue to visit every burglary victim and make local enquiries to secure any available evidence. We will continue to offer crime prevention advice around this crime.

Actioned 15 March 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
