We’re building A New Met for London where communities know their local officers, help to shape their policing priorities, and work with them to reduce crime and anti- social behaviour; and when victims call us for help, they’re satisfied with our response.

We’ll build on the work we’ve done and keep serious violence low. We’ll solve more rapes, domestic violence, child abuse and other cases of predatory offending, and we’ll target the most dangerous offenders to take them off the streets before they can harm again. We’ll reduce disproportionality when crime and our use of powers fall unevenly across London’s communities.

You’ll see the people who fall short of our high standards being dealt with swiftly and robustly. You’ll see officers, staff and volunteers that are well trained, equipped and led.

A New Met for London is the product of more than 10,000 interactions with Londoners, our people, and partners from across the city. It represents what they’ve told us they want us to focus on. We’ve already made considerable progress in the last nine months, but there’s much more to do.
