Q&A with Met Police Commissioner: responding to austerity - Police and Crime Committee
Channel: London Assembly
Date: 2024-02-21

The Met is the largest police service in England, and has national and specialist responsibilities, with a “significant budget”.

Baroness Casey reported that its “annual spending represents 25 per cent of the total police budget for England and Wales, and gross expenditure has increased from £3.2 billion in 2015-16 to £3.9 billion in 2021-22”.

In this meeting, the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee quiz the Met Commissioner and Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime on how the Met has responded to financial austerity since the Baroness Casey review.

Guests include:
- Sir Mark Rowley, Commissioner, Metropolitan Police
- Sophie Linden, Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime
