Welcome to Met Engage and the Oval Ward!

We're transforming the Met to become a service that truly delivers for you.

The Met Engage platform allows us to truly connect you to your local officers and speak to them directly. This platform lets you feedback to us what really matters to you in your local area. Your opinions then enable us to shape how we police your local area.

It also enables us to send out our good news stories about how the team are policing in your local area and dealing with issues that matter to you, as well as give you direct access to key information and advice!
