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.

Alibon 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 Alibon@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

Met Police's policy to reduce violence on London's streets.

Issued 18 December 2025

The team have made great efforts to reduce robberies in specific areas on the ward following a crime spike and concerns from local residents who attend our Ward Panel Meetings. We've achieved this by carrying out high-visibility cycle, foot and vehicle patrols, along with and an undercover presence.

We've engaged with individuals and groups that we suspect of anti-social behaviour who are also asked to account for the actions and presence in the area. We have conducted a number of weapon sweeps around the ward with the help of Met Police volunteers.

Additionally we have provided crime prevention leaflets on personal safety with open spaces, like parks, alleyways and foot bridges regularly patrolled by officers.
