(London) The police in London have revealed their new policing policy. Deputy Commissioner Craig Mackey of the London Metropolitan
Police has spoken to the media about changes to the Mets policing policy he said
the “absolutely feasible” change would see the Met assessing the level of risk
faced by a caller when deciding whether to send officers for a “face to face
service”. He said members of the public who might be prioritised in future
included people with learning difficulties, the elderly and people who did not
speak English as their first language. Healthy middle-aged men such as himself
might miss out. Mr Mackey said burglary victims would “probably always get a
service” but that “vehicle crime, those sorts of things” were among the types
of offence where police might not attend unless the person affected was
vulnerable. He admitted this was a “difficult area” of policy, but said it
could be required to help the force cope with major spending cuts over the
coming years.
data-lang="en">The thing is the government stated only in June that funding for the Police will be protected for the next 3 years, not only that, but the Mayor of London Socialist Human rights lawyer Sadiq Khan controls the budget for the London Metropolitan Police. Which kind of explains why he increased it in Feb this year.
