Sir Mark Rowley emphasized that the Met Police faces 'eye-watering cuts' unless additional funding is provided, expressing deep concern over the precarious financial position.
He noted that previous methods of funding, including selling police stations and relying on reserves, are no longer available, leading to worsened budgetary constraints.
Rowley highlighted that London's policing has unique challenges, with funding per person lower than cities like New York, stressing the need for investment.
The commissioner warned that without significant investment, some police buildings would become 'unusable' in the future due to ongoing budget cuts.
