A commitment to neighbourhood policing is central to our delivery of a New Met for London. We are working with our communities to ensure that crime is reported, victims are supported and those responsible for committing crime are brought to justice.
We also continue to use data and technology, such as phone tracking and surveillance techniques, to target offenders and investigate crimes that impact those living and working in London.
