Metropolitan Police Service (London)

The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is the primary law enforcement agency responsible for policing Greater London, excluding the City of London. Established in 1829, it ensures public safety, prevents crime, and maintains order across the capital. The MPS operates various specialized units, such as homicide, cybercrime, and counter-terrorism, all working together under a hierarchical structure led by the Commissioner. It engages with communities to build trust and collaborates with other agencies to address complex security challenges. Its goal is to provide a safe environment for London's residents, workers, and visitors through effective policing and community partnership.
