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.

Redcliffe 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 Redcliffe@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
Burglary: Prevent and reduce cycle and vehicle ASB on the whole ward, but specifically near Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and Edith Grove. Measure through, statistic crime reports, trend mapping and calls to police (Crimes recorded). Attained through preventative high-visibility patrols in key areas, along with operations. Due to the personal nature of the crime this is a top ward priority. This will be measured and reviewed at the next ward panel meeting (every three months). Issued 16 July 2025	We aim to focus on preventing residential burglaries, which seem to focus on high value properties around Gilston Road, Redcliffe Road and Redcliffe Square, SW10. Statistics are showing a slight rise in high-value residential burglaries, which are being targeted. Entry gained through windows is commonplace by force using blunt tools, and using scaffolding to access neighbouring properties. Actioned 15 July 2025
Theft of Motor Vehicles: Reduce the amount of Motor Vehicle crime on the ward. Amount of reports to be collated daily and also stop and search figures used to back up proactive disruption. Uniform and plain-clothes patrols to target any potential crime hotspots (Gilston Road and Hollywood Road) and to target any offenders on the ward. This is a major concern for the residents, despite the infrequent nature of these offences thus it is still a priority. To be reviewed at next Ward Panel meeting. Issued 16 July 2025	Key patrols high vis - Handing out RBKC leaflets Actioned 24 July 2025
Robbery: To reduce the number of robberies on residential streets across the ward. Crime statistics show a large number of robberies happen near to Old Brompton Road & Fulham Road. This is due to residents/non-residents attending the area and visiting local bars and restaurants. Victims are then often targeted walking home from venues in side streets away from the main roads. Though plain-clothes operations and adjusting shifts to match the pattern of times these offences occur, officers can look to target those committing these crimes. A mobile CCTV camera has been requested from the council and placed on the junction of Old Brompton Road and Drayton Gardens to tackle the issue. Throughout the day local ward officers will conduct high-visibility patrols, giving crime prevention around hot-spot locations (Creswell Place & Redcliffe Gardens). Robbery appears to be an opportunistic crime on the ward, however is also seen to occur on roads that lack CCTV, or have poor coverage. To be reviewed at the next ward panel meeting. Issued 16 July 2025	Key patrols on bikes to identify areas of concern. Actioned 22 July 2025
