Roehampton

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.

Roehampton 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 Roehampton@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

Violence against the Person
We have received a number of recent reports of drug dealing in the vicinity of Roehampton High Street. Drug dealing is very much associated with violent organised crime groups, gangs and child criminal exploitation via county line activity.
PMP/1662/25

Issued 25 November 2025

Taking an intelligence led approach, we will monitor and assess information on a daily basis to build an accurate picture of drug activity. We will link people, locations and vehicles to corroborate our intelligence. We will work in collaboration with other teams to obtain and execute warrants, ensuring that tackling linked criminal activity is maximised across Wandsworth borough

Actioned 24 February 2026

Anti-social Behaviour
To proactively tackle anti-social behaviour around Alton Estate, SW15.
PMP/82642/24

Issued 25 November 2025

We will monitor activity through proactive patrols and seek solutions using partnership oriented problem-solving strategies.. We will enforce ASB legislation available to us (CPW, CPNs) and enforce breaches. We will utilise other resources such as local authority community safety officers and housing departments to advise on the consequence of continued ASB.

Actioned 24 February 2026

Theft from Shops
Recent analysis has highlighted a spate of thefts FROM shops, in Danebury Avenue and A3 corridor, Roehampton.
PMP/22317/25

Issued 25 November 2025

Officers will carry out directed patrols in order to reduce incidences of theft from businesses within the ward. Patrolling officers will work in conjunction with Businesses Against Crime and local Business Improvement Districts. We will give advice around security, to assist in identifying repeat offenders and make visits to victims of crime.
Working with neighbouring wards we will share information about potential offenders and identify linked series of offences via times of day, methods involved, items targeted etc

Actioned 24 February 2026

The word cloud below represents the issues raised by residents through their Local Matters survey. We take this into consideration along with discussions with stakeholders, ward panel meetings and conversations with the public when setting our key priorities
