A New Met for London: Phase 2

A New Met for London: Phase 2

Met prioritises neighbourhoods in new community crime-fighting strategy

The Metropolitan Police Service will continue to drive down neighbourhood crime and precisely target the most harmful criminals, under a new plan launched on Tuesday, 9 December 2025.

A New Met for London: Phase 2 is a blueprint for the policing of London for the next three years. There will be a continued focus on delivering More Trust, Less Crime, and High Standards – with precision community crime-fighting remaining a core part of the Met’s mission.

Since the launch of the first phase of A New Met for London in 2023, the Met has been delivering results on the issues that matter most to Londoners:

Arresting more than 1,000 extra criminals every month

Neighbourhood crime – such as burglary and shoplifting – down 15 per cent with 500 more officers and staff added to neighbourhood teams

Injuries from violence lower than any other major UK city

Homicides at a five-year low

Solved more than twice as many crimes linked to violence against women and girls

Public trust rising – 74 per cent of Londoners now trust the Met.
