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.

Shacklewell 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 Shacklewell@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
The local community has expressed concerns regarding the issue of robbery and phone snatches in the local area. Residents have stated that there is an issue with phone snatching taking place particularly along the A10 and Stoke Newington High Street junction with the Crossway N16. The issue appears to take place at various times of the day in which members of the public have reported their phones snatched from their hands. This is a long term goal and the safer neighbourhood team will set up a number of operations to target this. Issued 07 May 2025	The safer neighbourhood team will continue to conduct regular patrols, engaging with shops and residents to safeguard those in the area. Also, the local SNT will work closely with the local council enforcement officers, as well as the local Town Centre Team in order to identify prolific offenders. We will also be running a number of operations in and around the area to target prolific offenders. Actioned 07 May 2025
Local residents have expressed concerns around ASB, drug taking and antisocial behaviour which is happening around Shacklewell Row/Hindle House/ Somerford Grove. There are a lot of reports of cars sitting idling or driving at high speed. Issued 07 May 2025	We will be including these area in our daily patrols and also changing our shifts to focus on the target times that this ASB is occurring. We are doing multi-agency work alongside the council to improve fencing, building access and parking restrictions. Actioned 07 May 2025
ASB and Traffic issues around the pedestrian crossing on the A10 junction with Palatine Road. This is used by school children on their way to school and are frequently put in danger by cyclists going through the red light. We have a similar issued on St Matthias Road with cyclists ignoring direction from the Crossing Patrol Officer causing a danger to children on their way to school. Issued 07 May 2025	Officers are patrolling the crossing at regular intervals and issuing tickets to offenders who continue to contravene directions and traffic signals. Actioned 07 May 2025
