Request for feedback on Consultation on the next phase of the "New Met for London" programme

From Philip Virgo as Development Lead for Neighbourhood Watch in Lambeth 

 

The notice below is a slight rewording on a request from the head of External Relations for the Met Police received this morning  

= = = 

The Met Police have published a draft of the second phase of our New Met for London (NMfL 2), the plan for the next three years. 

 

This is the next step in achieving their mission of More Trust, Less Crime and High Standards. 

 

This draft builds on what was set out in 2023, and it reflects both the Met's own analysis and feedback from partners and Londoners. 

 

The aim is to make sure it also reflects the voices of the communities they serve before it is finalised this autumn. 

 

What is in NMfL 2? 

 

The police will maintain their focus on community crime-fighting, culture change and fixing their foundations, while committing to reduce crime, raise standards and improve services for victims and the public. They are also introducing two new priorities: 

 

  • Putting Crime-fighting First: cutting bureaucracy and putting more resources into tackling crime. 
  • Working in Partnership: collaborating with communities and partners to solve problems and address local priorities.  
  •  

    What has been achieved so far? 

     

  • Trust is rising, with confidence in the Met now higher than in other major force areas. 
  • More than 1,000 additional criminals arrested each month. 
  • Neighbourhood crime is down 16%, shoplifting case outcomes have improved by 92%, and homicides are at a five-year low. 
  • Standards are improving, with hundreds of officers dismissed or removed for falling short of expectations. 
  •  

    But they know they cannot do this alone. The views of Londoners are vital to shaping they we police the capital. 

     

    They are asking for views on the draft plan. Please share your feedback here : New Met for London: Phase 2 Survey (Survey takes just 5-10 mins)

     

    The deadline for responses is 14th September 2025. 

     

    Please share this consultation with your neighbours to help ensure the plan delivers for London.
