Met Police Consultation

We have recently published a draft of the second phase of A New Met for London (NMfL) - our plan for the next three years, and the next step in achieving our mission of More Trust, Less Crime and High Standards. We are keen to ensure that Londoners are consulted and the new proposed plan can be found at the following link: https://www.met.police.uk/police-forces/metropolitan-police/areas/about-us/about-the-met/a-new-met-for-london/

To submit your feedback please use the additional link at the end of this email which will open a survey (which will ensure your views are captured).

This plan – which has been developed based on our own analysis and feedback from policing and other partners – sets out what we have achieved since we first published NMfL 1 in 2023 and what we will do next.

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 already engaged a number of key stakeholders but, before finalising the plan in the autumn, we’re sharing this draft for consultation, so we can 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:

Over the next three years, the Met’s performance in these areas will be tracked and officers will prioritise reducing serious violence, neighbourhood crime and anti-social behaviour, tackling those committing violence against women and girls, and improving the Met’s quality of service to victims and the public.

We're asking for your views on the draft NMfL Phase 2 plan. Please share your feedback here.

Many thanks and best regards
