Queen's Park Trust and our members receive a great deal of support from the local policing team through Metengage. Residents can join Metengage directly! Join today and connect with the local Safer Neighbourhood Team who work tirelessly to keep us safe!

This is an opportunity to connect with the team through a free, digital platform launched by the police to improve local safety by creating direct communication between local policing teams and residents.

Reporting incidents or crimes to the police is essential for protecting communities and ensuring justice. It provides a formal record that helps prevent further offenses, allows police to deploy resources to high-crime areas, and is usually required to process insurance claims.

Key Reasons to Report:

• Community Safety: Alerts law enforcement to emerging crime patterns or suspicious activity.
• Crime Prevention: Helps prevent repeat offenses and protects vulnerable members of the community from harm.
• Insurance Claims: Provides a formal crime reference number required by most insurance providers to process compensation or replacement.
• Bringing Offenders to Justice: Gives the criminal justice system the evidence needed to investigate, prosecute, and deter future illegal behavior. 

What and How to Report:

You should report any crime you witness or experience, as well as any suspicious behavior or immediate dangers. In the UK, it is vital to know exactly when and how to reach out: 

• Do this if there is an immediate danger to life, a crime is actively in progress, or a suspect is still at the scene.
• Non-Emergencies: For less urgent matters (or to provide tips on suspicious activity), you can use the Metropolitan Police reporting tool online or call 101 to speak directly with an officer.
