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. We have seen a rise in this crime type along the A10 junction with the Crossway outside bars and restaurants in the area. The issue tends to occur in the evenings and late at night, with victims being often being distracted immediately prior to the snatch. This is a long term goal and the safer neighbourhood team will set up a number of operations to target this. Issued 02 September 2026	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 18 December 2026
