Gascoigne

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.

Gascoigne 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 Gascoigne@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

Parcel thefts have been on the rise, especially in the run up to the Holiday seasons. Thieves often target unattended packages left in communal areas or on doorsteps.

Issued 06 July 2025

•Increasing patrols in known hotspot areas.

•Engaging with delivery companies to promote secure delivery practices.

•Advising residents to request parcels be delivered to secure locations or collected in person when possible.

If you notice suspicious activity or are a victim of parcel theft, please report it promptly. Your information helps us take action and prevent further incidents.

Actioned 13 July 2025

Begging is a sensitive issue that can impact how safe residents feel in our community.
While some individuals may be genuinely in need, others engage in anti-social behavior or exploit the goodwill of others.

Issued 06 July 2025

Partnering with outreach services to provide support for those in genuine need.

•Ensuring that aggressive or intimidating behaviour is addressed promptly.

•Encouraging residents to donate to local charities instead of giving money directly to individuals on the street.

By working together, we can offer meaningful support to vulnerable individuals while maintaining a safe environment for everyone.

Actioned 13 July 2025

Protecting women and girls from violence is a top priority. Everyone has the right to feel safe, whether at home, work, or out in the community.
