South Tottenham

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.

South Tottenham 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 SouthTottenham@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

Priority	Action taken
Priority 1 Shoplifting Tottenham Hale retail Park. Ongoing Shoplifting at the retail park and Tesco High Road N15. There have been reductions Tesco High Road but with some displacement into the retail park so the priority of Shoplifting remains but with a shift in location. Reviewed and agreed at ward panel meeting 26/02/26 Issued 26 February 2026	Top Ten Offenders identified and to be the focus for the team. Long term plan is to obtain Criminal Behaviour Orders for top ten offenders to manage. Engage with support services for drug and alcohol addiction issues. Use of Anti Social Behaviour Warnings, Community Protection Warnings, Community Protection Notices to manage Anti Social Behaviour. Link in with Stores and store security to review practices and also work in identifying offenders. 23/03/26 Patrols continue in the retail park focusing on our top ten offenders. One criminal Behaviour order for one of our top offenders was successful at court and is now in place with another application impending.
