1. The Commissioner has demonstrated a genuine commitment to driving change and is in the early stages of implementing his “New Met for London” plan which sets out the work required by 2025, following the Casey report earlier this year. The London Policing Board remains a newly established forum for holding the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) to account. Given the scale of the challenges, the force needs some time and space (as acknowledged by HMICFRS) to turn things around. 2. The MPS will also be subject to continuous monitoring from HMICFRS by virtue of their ‘Engage’ status, with their next PEEL inspection report due in Summer 2024. 3. The Casey report recommends the MPS and the Mayor of London should commission independent progress reviews after two years, and again after five years. We would support a commitment to that timetable from the Mayor. In the interim, we would expect HMICFRS to continue to review progress on force performance through the regular police performance oversight group and the next PEEL inspection.
