Origins

Founded by Sir Robert Peel in 1829, the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is one of the oldest police services in the world. The original Metropolitan Police District (MPD) covered a seven mile radius from Charing Cross containing a population of less than two million. This was policed by 1,000 offi cers.

Today, the MPS is made up of 50,000 offi cers and staff, which includes over 5,000 volunteer police offi cers from the Metropolitan Special Constabulary (MSC) and its Employer Supported Policing (ESP) programme.

The current MPD includes the whole of the Greater London Area, covering 620 square miles and over 8.3 million people. Since April 2000, the boundaries of the MPD have mirrored the 32 London boroughs as shown below.

ABOUT THE METROPOLITAN POLICE SERVICE

Organisation

From the beginning, the purpose of the MPS has been to serve and protect the people of London by providing a professional police service; this remains our purpose. The Commissioner of Police for the Metropolis is appointed by the Queen, in consultation with the Home Secretary. The Mayor’s Offi ce for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) supervises the police service and publishes an annual policing plan, including performance targets. It reports back to the Mayor, the London Assembly and the community.

We have an annual net budget of £3.6 billion – more than 25% of the total police budget for England and Wales. We are one of the largest employers in London and the South East of England.

ABOUT THE METROPOLITAN POLICE SERVICE

The previous Commissioner has outlined his vision of Total Policing with a total war on crime, total care for victims and total professionalism from our staff at its core. We are committed to delivering excellent policing from tackling anti-social behaviour and other crime in neighbourhoods, through to dealing with terrorists and the most serious criminals often ‘behind the scenes’. We rely on the work of warranted offi cers, police community support offi cers (PCSOs), special constables and police staff to tackle the range of policing challenges facing London.

MPS Values, Mission and Priorities

Our success depends on us all working towards the same goals. Our strategy, led by the previous Police Commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, is called Total Policing. It consists of a set of priorities, set out below, supported by key values. Total Policing ensures that we are on the front foot in tackling criminality in all its forms. Where new techniques or new technology can help in that war, we will maximise use of it. Total Policing also means Total Care for victims – preventing people from becoming victims in the fi rst place where possible but, where we have victims, ensuring that the MPS gives the best possible support. And we will do that with Total Professionalism, so that the MPS continues to foster the support and trust of law-abiding Londoners, while ensuring that it is an organisation that all criminals fear. All of this will be underpinned by our values of Courage, Compassion, Integrity and Professionalism.

Total War on Crime

We are crime fi ghters. This is a vital part of policing. Tackling crime, arresting criminals and bringing them before a court is the core of what we do, doing whatever we can to arrest criminals and stop crime as long as it is legal and ethical.

Total Professionalism

It is important that when a victim reports a crime that we tell them how that crime is being progressed and that they have confi dence in those dealing with their case. We also need to ensure we are sensitive to the victim’s needs, understanding what is unique about them and how we tailor our service to meet their needs. We must always remember that we have a duty of care to our victims.

Page 6: Police Staff Information Pack Technical Manager EOD

Our commitment to transform – ‘Met Change’

We’re determined to offer the best police service possible for Londoners. But we must change with it:

• We want all communities in London to have high levels of confi dence and satisfaction

• We need to keep cutting crime as a more connected world creates new security risks and criminal threats

• We must invest in our people and modernise our technology so we can offer the public a better service. Our offi cers and staff deserve great tools to fi ght crime and support victims

• We need to be better at recognising great performance and challenging poor behaviour

• We want to be a Met that looks and feels like London by having offi cers and staff who can relate to the diverse communities of London.

As a result our goals are ambitious; to cut Neighbourhood crime by 20%, cutting costs by 20% and increase public confi dence by 20% by 2016. To achieve this we will need a step change in the way we operate and how we are structured.

To achieve a step change in performance, cost and satisfaction the Met is undertaking a portfolio of change. Met Change is establishing the One Met Model. Four further programmes – the Commercial Strategy, Total Technology, Corporate Real Estate, and Total Professionalism – will build on the One Met Model, embedding the principles fi rst established through Met Change.

Total Technology is a transformational programme of work that will provide modern IT for our workforce. Changes will enable us to use more technology out of the offi ce, reduce re-keying of information and improve the IT systems and hardware all at a lower cost.

Corporate Real Eetate (CRE) is reducing our estate by a third and cutting operating costs. By rationalising our estate we will be able to deliver savings but also, as importantly, free up capital to invest in new buildings and technology that are fi t for purpose for the future of the Met.

Commercial Strategy manages both the renewal and market testing of some services. The programme will ensure the Met has effectively identifi ed service requirements and is well positioned with the market to be an effective and intelligent client.

Total Professionalism focuses on our people, values and behaviours. These are central for ensuring all the changes are successful. We are adapting our systems of reward and recognition to ensure we support the right behaviours to make change successful.

ABOUT THE METROPOLITAN POLICE SERVICE

BACKGROUND TO SO15

Counter Terrorism Command

London faces a terrorist threat, which is truly global in nature.

Post 2000 the MPS world renowned Anti-Terrorist Branch and Special Branch undertook an unprecedented number of counter terrorist investigations in the UK and abroad.

These investigations, combined with the terrorist attacks in London in July 2005 - which claimed 52 lives - starkly demonstrated the increasing complex nature of the work carried out by the two specialist branches.

Even before the tragic events of 2005 the MPS had started to review how these commands operated and interacted with one another to deliver a counter terrorism response.

Following this work it was agreed to create a new bespoke, multi-faceted, single counter terrorism command not restricted in design, with better capability and capacity to meet ongoing and future threats.

As a result the Counter Terrorism Command was created. This has taken over the roles and responsibilities of the Anti-Terrorist Branch and Special Branch and was launched on the 2nd October 2006.

The new command brings together intelligence analysis and development with investigations and operational support activity.

It builds on the world-wide renowned expertise and professionalism of the former Anti-Terrorist Branch and Special Branch, which for many years have been at the forefront of the MPS counter terrorism effort.

And as always the overriding priority of the new command is to keep the public safe and do all it can to ensure London remains a hostile environment for the terrorists.

The Counter Terrorism Command provides a full operational capability with teams of offi cers immediately available to respond to any type of incident or investigation.

It is also known as ‘SO15’, an internal police service designation refl ecting the fact that it is one of a number of Specialist Operations branches within the MPS.

Page 8: Police Staff Information Pack Technical Manager EOD

• To bring to justice those engaged in terrorist, domestic extremist and related offences
