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.
Eltham Page 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 ElthamPage@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 |
|---|---|
|
Two-Wheeled Enabled Crime Issued 30 July 2026 |
Officers will continue to tackle crime facilitated by illegal motorcycles, mopeds, and e-bikes through proactive patrols and intelligence-led enforcement. Stop and search powers will be used where lawful and appropriate, with illegal vehicles being seized and destroyed where legislation permits. The strongest available sanctions will be pursued against offenders involved in criminality using unlawful modes of transport to protect the community and reduce offending. Actioned 30 November 2026 |
|
Environmental Crime and Designing Out Crime Issued 30 July 2026 |
The Safer Neighbourhood Team will work closely with the local authority, housing providers, and partner agencies to address environmental issues that contribute to crime and anti-social behaviour, including the dumping and burning of motorbikes. Regular high-visibility patrols, neighbourhood enquiries, and community engagement will be undertaken to identify concerns, secure vulnerable locations, and improve the safety of public spaces. Actioned 30 November 2026 |
|
Shoplifting and Retail Crime Issued 30 July 2026 |
Officers will continue to work proactively with local retailers and partners to tackle shoplifting and retail crime. Targeted operations will be conducted to deter offending, increase staff confidence in reporting incidents, and improve evidence gathering. Robust enforcement action will be taken against identified offenders to disrupt repeat criminality and reduce the impact of crime generators within the ward. Actioned 30 November 2026 |
