The Metropolitan Police Service is
continually evolving and improving to
respond to the needs of millions of people
of all nationalities, faiths and cultures
who visit, live and work in London. The
organisation aims to deliver quality policing
that reduces crime - and the fear of crime -
across the capital. It is also recognised on a
global scale as a leading authority on policing
today.
The Met today is a far cry from the
organisation that was founded in 1829 by
Home Secretary Sir Robert Peel. Back then,
there were just 1,000 officers looking after a
population of 2 million. Now, there are some
52,000 officers and staff working as one
team to make the streets safer for 7.2 million
Londoners in 32 boroughs across 620 square
miles.
As one of the capital's largest employer, the
Met is committed to having a workforce
that reflects the community it serves.
People join from all kinds of backgrounds,
bringing all sorts of skills and experience to
a huge diversity of roles. As well as frontline
officers, the Met employs 14,000 police staff
who carry out vital work such as answering
emergency calls, forensics, handling finances
or harnessing the latest advancements in
technology.
But London can only be policed with the trust
and respect of all Londoners, so it's essential
that everyone who joins has the sensitivity
to work effectively with the many different
communities that make up the capital.
Making London safer is uniquely challenging
but uniquely rewarding. Good salaries are
supplemented by attractive benefits including
a superb pension and opportunities for career
progression.
