Vauxhall

Welcome to Met Engage and the Vauxhall Ward!

We're transforming the Met to become a service that truly delivers for you.

The Met Engage platform allows us to truly connect you to your local officers and speak to them directly. This platform lets you feedback to us what really matters to you in your local area. Your opinions then enable us to shape how we police your local area.

It also enables us to send out our good news stories about how the team are policing in your local area and dealing with issues that matter to you, as well as give you direct access to key information and advice!

Vauxhall 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 Vauxhall@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).
