Let’s Keep Hounslow Safe Together!Your local police team cares – and we’re working hard to keep Hounslow safe!
We know recent posts on Nextdoor have highlighted some worrying incidents, and we completely understand the frustration and fear that comes with burglary. First, we want to say we’re sorry if we’ve ever fallen short of your expectations. We’re listening, learning, and doing everything we can to improve. Burglary prevention starts with all of us. Here are some simple, effective steps you can take today:
✅ Light it up – Keep outdoor lights on at night and use timer switches indoors when you’re away.
✅ Lock up smart – Double-lock doors and windows, even if you’re just popping out.
✅ Secure valuables – Keep keys, wallets, and tech out of sight from windows and doors.
✅ Neighbour power – Look out for each other. If you see something suspicious, report it straight away.
✅ Join MetEngage – Stay connected with your local officers and get real-time updates. We’ve seen comments like “Police don’t care” – but we promise you, we do care deeply. Every burglary hurts a family, a business, and a community. We’re out there every day, patrolling, investigating, and working with partners to make Hounslow safer. Help us help you: - Report incidents promptly – even if you think “nothing will happen.” Every report builds intelligence.
- Share constructive feedback – tell us what works and what doesn’t.
- Avoid broad criticism – it can be demoralising for officers who are doing their best. Instead, let’s work together to find solutions.
Hotspot areas we’re focusing on: - Hounslow Town Centre
- Chiswick High Road
- Brentford Lock
- Feltham Centre
…and we’re increasing visibility in secondary areas like Hounslow West and Osterley Park.
Together, we can make a real difference. Burglars want us divided – let’s show them Hounslow stands united! 👉 Report crime or suspicious activity via 101 or online at met.police.uk
