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.
Highgate - Haringey 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 Highgate-Haringey@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).

Violence Related Priority - Although not currently an issue on the Highgate ward, Violence and VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) is an MPS priority. Issued 08 July 2025 |
Neighbourhood Policing Team to conduct both high visibility and plain clothes patrols in the Highgate area. This will provide the local residents with reassurance, visibility and allow them to interact with Police around crime prevention and any local recurring issues that we are not aware of. Actioned 19 August 2025 |

Residential Burglary - Operation Frained - Highgate is known for high value properties and vehicles and as such becomes a target for burglaries. The areas of note are around the Highgate Underground Station end of Archway Road. Issued 08 July 2025 |
Operation Frained is giving officers extra time, funding and resources to increase high visibility, plain clothes and reassurance patrols within these areas. Actioned 19 August 2025 |

Shoplifting/Theft - Highgate has seen an increase in shoplifting around Archway Rd and Highgate High St. Offenders are typically targeting high st chains such as Tescos, Sainsburys and Co-Op. However smaller independent retailers have also been targeted. Issued 08 July 2025 |
High visibility and plain clothes patrols within these locations, to identify and apprehend prolific offenders, whilst looking to progress these offences by obtaining Criminal Behaviour Orders against those involved.
