Statement on the Met Police being taken out of special measures

Responding to news from His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) that the Metropolitan Police is now out of enhanced monitoring, Cllr Muhammed Butt, London Councils Executive Member for Community and Safety, said:

“Today’s announcement is a clear step in the right direction towards addressing the challenges raised in the Baroness Casey Review into standards of behaviour and internal culture within the Met.

“London boroughs have been working closely with the Met to reset the relationship between local authorities and the police service. We support greater focus on community and neighbourhood policing and their ambition to create a police service workforce that represents London as a whole.

"Londoners deserve a police service that is fit for this world-leading city and able to serve our diverse communities. There is still a long way to go to address the serious challenges identified by Baroness Casey and felt by Londoners, and we hope the Met continues to build on this progress so far.”
