Met Engage is a new 2-way platform to allow the community and the police to share information and updates more freely.
It enables members of the public to sign up and choose what kind of information they want from the police, see what events are happening in their area or to contact the police with useful intelligence.
For example, if there is a car theft on a given road, the police can share an alert only with people in that general area, so you won’t be overwhelmed with information. At the same time the police can invite anyone with any evidence that might be useful (for example, sightings or doorbell footage), to upload it to the portal. The more evidence they have, the easier it is to solve the crime.
To sign up, head to the Met Engage website.
You’ll be asked to choose a password, and verify account by entering a number which they will email to you. Then you’ll tell them the area you live in, so they make sure they send you relevant information when it happens in your area.
This is not a crime reporting tool
Met Engage aims to benefit the community by:
- Enabling the community to raise local priorities directly to their ward officers
- Helping keep communities informed about what the police are doing in their local areas
- Providing open, transparent and trusted communication
- Providing a platform for seldom heard communities to inform policing priorities
However, it’s not a crime reporting too. Continue to report crime in usual way by using 101 or, in an emergency, 999.
