The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “I welcome His Majesty’s Inspectorate confirming that significant improvements are being made by the Met Police on both improved performance and

transforming culture.

“This is down to the hard work of the Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, Met officers and staff, who are rebuilding public confidence and trust in the force, as well as record investment and support from City Hall. Emergency calls are now being answered faster, vetting is being strengthened and neighbourhood policing is being revitalised. 

"Having asked the HMICFRS to look in particular at concerns around child sexual exploitation, it's reassuring that the Met Police have made significant improvements in this area, including around missing children and victim blaming language.

“There’s still more to do, and as Mayor, I’ll continue to work with the Commissioner to ensure we drive through the further improvements needed as we build a safer London for everyone.” Photo by Slinkierbus268, Wikimedia commons.
