Happy New Year from your local police.

Happy 2026,

We hope this year will be a safe and enjoyable one for you. Having introduced Met Engage to all of you last year, I hope you can be more in touch with us going forward, helping us to make Deptford a safer place.

Over the last month your local safer neighbourhood team have been busy:

Sergeant Macmillan arrested someone for possession of class A and a knife, just before the New Year.

On a live facial recognition operation in December PC Redding arrested someone wanted for multiple thefts, found drugs on his person in custody for which he was charged for whilst in custody.

PC Zafar arrested someone for driving while under the influence of drugs.

Remember to keep in touch with us, share this platform with your neighbours and loved ones, and always say hello if you see us out and about.

Once again, a very happy new year.
