New Met for London Phase 2 |
||
|
Yesterday evening (19th November 2025) we held a public meeting, this was an opportunity for around 100 local residents to come and ask questions of the senior leaders of the local police and management board. We were able to review the work that has been carried out across London during phase 1 of the Commissioners New Met for London plan and to look ahead at phase 2.
This second phase is not a new strategy – it is a continuation of what we set out to do in 2023. This is because we know the best organisations are built and sustained by relentless, step-by-step improvements. We’ve engaged key stakeholders and held a public consultation process to make sure it reflects the views of all Londoners. NMfL 2 focuses the Met’s efforts in five areas. Three delivery pillars from the last two years remain in place – Community Crime-fighting, Culture Change and Fixing our Foundations There are two new cross-cutting areas of focus: Putting Crime-fighting First, which will see the Met shed the distractions and bureaucracy that divert resources away from crime-fighting and become more productive; and Working in Partnership, which will see the Met collaborate with others to solve problems and address local crime priorities together. Through this plan, we’re determined to make the Met an outstanding local police service for London, delivering better outcomes and keeping the public safe. Every commitment we make in this plan will be accompanied by a mechanism for assuring we’re delivering on it: Officers and staff are restoring trust with levels of confidence in policing higher in London than in comparable force areas (West Midlands, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire). By the end of 2024/25, 74% of Londoners agreed the Met is an organisation they can trust. Crime is being cut with officers arresting more than 1,000 extra criminals each month. Performance is improving with neighbourhood crime down 16% in the first quarter of 2025/26, 92% more shoplifting cases have been solved this year, and twice as many crimes linked to Violence Against Women and Girls. Injuries from violence are lower than in any other large British city and homicides are at a five-year low. Standards are increasing – while the vast majority of our people continue to be outstanding public servants, hundreds of officers who fall short of these standards have been dismissed for misconduct, and others have left the Met after their vetting had been removed. We know there is still important work ahead to rebuild trust and reduce crime, and we look forward to working closely with you and our community to achieve this together
Whilst the consultation on this plan closed back in September you are able to review the draft that was submitted for consultation and this will give you an idea of the direction that the Metropolitan police are moving in. ( please follow the link below )
