Met Police Warns of Potential Cuts
Update: 2025-12-14
Description
The Metropolitan Police face potential staffing cuts due to a budget gap of twenty million pounds for the 2026-2027 financial year. Despite efforts to find efficiencies, they may need to reduce staff if expected funding increases dont materialize. Officer numbers are already expected to drop from over thirty-three thousand to just over thirty-one thousand, despite a pledge to increase them by one thousand three hundred. The Met has been prioritizing neighborhood policing and moving officers from administrative roles to frontline duties. The Home Office has committed to increasing police spending power over the next three years, with a one point two billion pound increase in funding for police forces this year.
