The Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley blamed the shortfall in staffing due to inadequate funding as frontline teams have been under 'high operational strain.'
The report sent to the London Policing Board highlighted that there has been an increase in dealing with violence against women in London.
The troubled police force is facing an enormous budget black hole of £400 million for 2025 to 2026.
Sir Mark Rowley stated, 'By March 2025, there will be 310 police officers per 100,000 Londoners... This position is projected to worsen and trend towards our lowest point of the last decade.'
