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.

Thamesfield 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 Thamesfield@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
Street Violence – Putney High Street. Met Police Summer Crime plan to run from 30th June for three months until October. Our focus is on making our High Street safer, supporting our business community and providing an increased police presence to prevent and reduce crime and ASB Issued 15 July 2025	We will be tasking officers to directly patrol the High Street and Putney Exchange areas during peak retail hours. We will continue to build on our existing relationship with Positively Putney, the local authority, community groups and business networks to address local crime and ASB concerns. Our teams are already engaging with local residents and identifying ASB issues such as begging and the continued misuse of electric bikes and scooters. Our officers will continue their focus on Op Retail by using shared data to identify offenders and disrupt activity. Working with youth services to identify young people involved in violent street crime has proved positive with a number of engagement programmes organised for the duration of the upcoming summer holidays. We are an active member of Pubwatch whereby we attend quarterly meetings to discuss ongoing licensing / Night Time Economy issues (NTE). Actioned 15 October 2025
Burglary Concerns were raised by the community about burglaries occurring in Enterprise Way and surrounding area. Issued 15 July 2025	Our Dedicated Ward Officers have performed an increase in targeted patrols over the last three months within the vicinity but not specifically to Enterprise Way. This is to anticipate the potential widening of offending to the proximity of Enterprise Way and nearby side streets. Officers have used analysis data to adapt their shifts in order to be patrolling at the relevant offending times.. Crime prevention advice is delivered by our PCSOs via home visits and cocooning neighbours of those victim to burglary. With the increased use of MetEngage we are now able to provide regular crime updates to subscribers which in turn is helping to continue reduce the number of burglary offences which has been falling for 15 months.
