The Met Police, facing a significant budget shortfall of £450 million, may potentially cut specialized units, including the Royal Parks Police. Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley indicated that such cuts could lead to a loss of numerous officers this year. Richmond Council has voiced strong opposition, emphasizing the unique skills and expertise of the Royal Parks Police as irreplaceable by other units. They plan to vote on a motion seeking assurance from the Met Police and the mayor to ensure proper funding to support these vital services.
Richmond Council believes the Royal Parks Police hold specialist knowledge and expertise which would be impossible to replicate by other units within the Metropolitan Police.
The Met Police faces a 450 million budget gap and may have to cut 2,300 officers and 400 staff, according to Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley.
