Southfields

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.

Southfields 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 Southfields@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 the Person
Southfields has long been the safest ward on Wandsworth borough and has no specific violence related concerns. Without taking this for granted, the priority is to keep Southfields as safe as it presently is.

Issued 15 July 2025

In line with the governments Neighbourhood Guarantee, Southfields has two DWOs as well as a PCSO. The officers arewell known and respected within the ward. They will continue to engage with communities within the ward which includes the Southfields Grid Residents Association and Southfields Business forum. The ward has two secondary schools and benefits from a Dedicated Child & Young person officer (DWO-CYP) who provides ongoing education and crime prevention advice to pupils.

Actioned 15 October 2025

Motor Vehicle Crime
There has been a series of theft of radar sensors from vehicles across the borough though there has been a significant number of offences within Southfields ward. In addition, due to the residential nature of the ward, parked vehicles are at increased risk of been targeted.

There is continued occurences of theft of sensors from vehicles in Southfields. Foot and cycle patrols are being conducted across the ward with positive interventions such as stop search being utilised where reasonable grounds exist. Intelligence and analysis of crime data along with the use of predictive crime mapping is being used to to identify vulnerable locations and direct patrols.
