Southgate

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 speak to your local team about policing issues, and find out how you can get involved, you can email them at Southgate.SNT@met.police.uk.

In an emergency always call 999.

If it is not an emergency, you can report crime online at www.met.police.uk or dial 101.

Violence Related Priority

Robbery/ASB   Southgate priority is to reduce and react to reported Anti-Social Behaviour & robbery In and around Southgate Tube Station.

Southgate ward officers will conduct both Hi-Vis and Covert patrols, focusing on using our powers to the full extent. We will also be linking In with special constables and volunteer police cadets to maximise our visibility during peak offending times.

MOTOR VEHICLE CRIME

The prevention of motor vehicle crime remains a significant focus due to ongoing reports of theft from vehicles and the theft of high-value keyless entry vehicles. The ward panel has agreed that this issue warrants continued attention and resources.

Hotspot Monitoring The team will consistently monitor crime reports related to motor vehicle incidents, focusing on identified hotspot areas to implement targeted patrols.   Both high-visibility and plainclothes officers will patrol areas known for motor vehicle crime, particularly during times when such crimes are most likely to occur.   Officers will personally contact victims of motor vehicle crime to offer relevant crime prevention advice, ensuring they feel supported and informed. This outreach will also provide valuable insights into community concerns and experiences.   The team will enhance awareness efforts by utilising the ward's Twitter account, monthly newsletter, and community events to share crime prevention tips related to vehicle security and the importance of reporting suspicious activity.   Overall, these strategies aim to create a safer environment in Southgate by engaging with the community, fostering trust, and ensuring a proactive police presence to deter crime effectively.

ASB Nursery Road & Chelmsford Road

Southgate priority is to reduce and react to reported Anti-Social Behaviour In and around Nursery Road/Chelmsford Road N14.

Southgate ward officers will conduct both Hi-Vis and Covert patrols, focusing on using our powers to the full extent. We will also be linking In with special constables. We also intend to link in with housing officers and the management company in charge of the properties causing issues.
