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.

Trinity 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 Trinity@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

Targeting an increase of after school robberies of schoolchildren in vicinity of transport hubs, Balham High Road and Trinity Road.

As part of the Neighbourhood Guarantee and Summer Crime Plan, the team have been completing targeted plain clothed and high visibility patrols in the afternoon and early evening in the vicinity of Balham High Road, Balham and Tooting Bec Stations, Boundaries Road and Upper Tooting Park. This is due to an increase in robberies of school age children. Officers engage with groups of youths, discuss crime prevention and ways of keeping safe, progress investigations of offences identified and liaise / promote good work within the local community through Ward Panel Meetings, community engagement events and street briefings.

Officers will increase patrols in roads identified off Trinity Road and Balham High Road.
