Short profile:

Opening times: 24 hours a day.

The Metropolitan Police Service is famed around the world and has a unique place in the history of policing. It is by far the largest of the police services that operate in greater London (the others include the City of London Police and the British Transport Police). The Royal Parks Constabulary have now become part of the Metropolitan Police Service.

Founded by Sir Robert Peel in 1829, the original establishment of 1, 000 officers policed a seven-mile radius from Charing Cross and a population of less than 2 million.

Detailed description:

Today, the Metropolitan Police Service employs more than 32, 500 officers together with about 14, 200 police staff, 230 traffic wardens and 4, 300 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs). The MPS is also being supported by more than 3, 600 volunteer police officers in the Metropolitan Special Constabulary (MSC) and its Employer Supported Policing (ESP) programme. The Metropolitan Police Services covers an area of 620 square miles and a population of 7.2 million.

The Metropolitan Police Service’s approach towards photography in public places is a subject of regular debate.

We encourage officers and the public to be vigilant against terrorism but recognise the importance not only of protecting the public from terrorism but also promoting the freedom of the public and the media to take and publish photographs.

Guidance around the issue has been made clear to officers and PCSOs through briefings and internal communications. The following advice is available to all officers and provides a summary of the Metropolitan Police Service’s guidance around photography in public places.

Members of the public and the media do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places and police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel.

Our mission:

Working together for a safer London.

Our values:

Working together with all our citizens, all our partners, all our colleagues:

We will have pride in delivering quality policing.

There is no greater priority.

We will build trust by listening and responding.

We will respect and support each other and work as a team.

We will learn from experience and find ways to be even better.
