Metropolitan Police

The Metropolitan Police, often referred to as the Met, is London's territorial police force responsible for policing Greater London. Recent news highlights their involvement in significant criminal investigations and counter-terrorism efforts. The force announced the arrest of a man in connection with the 2017 "Putney pusher" incident and detained Tommy Robinson under counter-terrorism laws at Heathrow Airport. They also responded to multiple stabbings following Arsenal's victory parade, making numerous arrests. Furthermore, the Met's actions, including withholding documents related to Peter Mandelson's vetting, have drawn parliamentary scrutiny. The force's tactics, particularly those of undercover officers, are also under renewed examination following a documentary about Operation Peyzac. The Met's role in maintaining public order and investigating serious crime remains central to London's safety and security.
