Colliers Wood

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.

Colliers Wood 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 ColliersWood@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

Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls is a key aspect of the Mayors Policing Plan and a New Met for London.

Actioned 22 April 2026

Retail Crime
Colliers Wood has a large retail footprint and is often targeted by shoplifters. Concerns have been raised by a number of residents due to the increase in shoplifting that they have noticed on the ward.

Issued 14 January 2026

Local officers have participated in a number of operations targeting the shoplifting hotspots resulting in a number of arrests. Officers will continue to target shoplifters and seek to manage the most prolific offenders with long standing solutions, such as Community Behavioural Orders.

Illicit drug use and supply
Colliers Wood has seen an increase in Anti-Social Behaviour linked to drug use, including activities such as drug taking and associated rowdy and inconsiderate behaviour. Key hotspots include areas outside the tube station, along the High Street, and surrounding streets.

Officers have conducted patrols across the ward in partnership with Merton Safer Streets. In addition, officers have developed a proactive management plan to concentrate efforts on reducing the prevalence of drug-related anti-social behaviour within the community.
