Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told LBC there will be “more visible policing” on London’s streets as he works to restore trust in the force
Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told LBC that there would be "more visible" policing on the streets of London as he works to restore trust in the force.Speaking to Tom Swarbrick, Sir Mark told LBC there would be “more visible policing on the streets of London” and that officers would be “listening to local communities” more.“We’re strengthening the presence of officers in community teams.
The tactic is being used in a bid from the force to rebuild its reputation following a series of scandals and a review which found it was racist, misogynist and homophobic. Some 240 officers out of the Met's total workforce of around 34,000 will be moved from central to local teams. "I'm concerned that some of our officers, particularly our community officers, aren't within walking distance of their patch, that's not acceptable, so that's why we're looking at that.
He said: "I've got a minority of my people I need to sort out, and we're doing that as rapidly and as quickly as we can do." "If the cause of that violence though is someone in a mental health crisis, what we need to be able to do, which is in line with national policy and NHS policy, is hand over that individual that is in crisis to the NHS as quickly as possible."
