Northfield

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.

Northfield 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 Northfield@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).

Safeguarding reports and regular welfare checks are being conducted on the other resident and CPW’s and CPNs are to be served on the perpretrators attending the address. Regular patrols around SOUTH EALING ROAD, CHANDOS AVENUE and surrounding roads have continued and officers have followed up intelligence gathered from a community contact point relating to EMPIRE BARBERS and Costa coffee making enquiries with residents and staff at the coffee shop. All businesses on SOUTH EALING ROAD have been engaged with and offered to sign up to MET ENGAGE for better information sharing.
