More Trust; Less Crime; High Standards – it takes you

The Met is seeking outstanding leaders to join its senior leadership team. Policing London is a privilege and serving the diverse communities is at the heart of this privilege. Come and protect a city that can rival any in the world for its history, vibrancy, diversity and culture.

Sir Robert Peel founded the Met in 1829, on the basis of policing by consent. That holds as true today and underpins our vision to rebuild policing by consent.

This is a role where you have a once in a generation opportunity to be at the forefront of delivering the reform we have promised London - delivering a New Met for London. That will take commitment, passion and determination.

We are seeking officers with a strong track record in operational delivery. You will be expected to work with Londoners to tackle crime and make neighbourhoods safer – together, helping to build the strongest neighbourhood policing London has seen. You will deliver the kind of policing that truly puts the public first.

Relationship building will be one of your strengths – externally with a range of local, London wide and national partners and stakeholders. Internal relationships are as important too. You will work hard to set your people up to succeed and create an environment where our frontline has what it needs to do this difficult job for London – and do it well.

As a leader you will evidence your commitment to high standards and determination to drive out those who fall short. We expect you to live our values, bringing them to life for your team so they are more than just words. We are changing our culture and you will have an active part to play in that.

Your decision making will be guided by our principles starting with putting the needs of the Londoners above all else.

We’ve got bold plans and things are changing in the Met. Come and join us at a time that matters more now than ever and deliver more trust; less crime and high standards.
