UPDATE: Armed policing across London
We no longer require mutual aid officers to assist in London
We no longer require mutual aid officers to assist in London
Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has been meeting with firearms officers who continue to police across London following the CPS decision to charge a Met officer with murder earlier this week.
There have been significant steps to root out the hundreds who have corrupted our integrity as we tackle systemic issues that allowed them to endure
The Met is grateful to the Government for recognising the need for substantial change to uphold the highest standards and restore confidence in policing.
Since the murder of Daniel Morgan thousands of lines of inquiry have been pursued and six extensive investigations conducted. We have not given up on this case. There still remains a possibility of solving this murder
The plan sets out how we will deliver better policing as we radically transform the organisation to set our officers and staff up to succeed
From September, all police officers in the Met (other than the most senior ranks) will see their annual salary increase by an additional £1,000 per annum.
The Met has made substantial progress in the two years since the publication of the report by the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel but acknowledges there is more to do.
Figures released following a month of sustained protests by Just Stop Oil show that officers have been extracted from other policing priorities for the equivalent of almost 11,000 shifts in an operation that has so far cost more than £3.5m.
As the world watches history in the making, we are proud to support the Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort.
The Commissioner has commended the honest majority of officers and staff who have joined the battle to restore trust and confidence in the Met as the focus on delivering higher standards continues
Baroness Casey was asked to examine the standards of behaviour and internal culture of the Met and to make recommendations on the actions required.
