London’s new police commissioner touts increased female representation on the force, but crime in the city is rising.
Last month, London mayor Sadiq Khan accompanied the Metropolitan Police Service’s new commissioner, Mark Rowley, on a walkabout through Stratford, East London. A series of high-profile scandals have rocked the force in recent months, and the mayor and commissioner hoped to inspire public confidence in the police. They also aimed to attract new recruits.
“As I lead reform at the Met,” Rowley told an audience in Stratford Town Centre, “I would encourage you to come along to an outreach event in your area, where you can learn about the opportunities for a great career.”
