Met Training

As a sleepy April Sunday morning begins. Volunteer police officers across London have begun a days work on response teams, neighbourhood teams, training, leadership training & specialisms. Giving their time back to London. If you’d like to join us: met.police.uk/specials

An officer is recovering in hospital after tackling a man with a knife in Enfield. We commend his bravery and that of the medics who attended. This is a shocking and appalling attack. The suspect has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. ➡️news.met.police.uk/news/man-arres…

Today marks 40 years since WPC Yvonne Fletcher was shot and killed on duty as she policed a protest in St James’s Square. This morning Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley visited the scene and laid a wreath in Yvonne’s memory. Our thoughts are with her family, friends and colleagues.

Thank you to all the police officers, staff and volunteers working this Easter Bank Holiday weekend. To all those celebrating, Happy Easter from everyone at The Met.

Spotted a defibrillator at places like train stations, gyms and shopping centres? There's around 7,000 in London. You shouldn't be afraid to use a defib - anyone can use one. Search 'Become a London Lifesaver' to learn how to use a defib and give live-saving #CPR

Seven years on from the Westminster Bridge terror attack, #WeRemember those who lost their lives. 💙Aysha Frade, Kurt Cochran, Leslie Rhodes, Andreea Cristea and PC Keith Palmer who was protecting the Houses of Parliament that day 💙 Our thoughts remain with the survivors and everyone affected by the events that occurred.

@KelvinJRobbins I shall brief you tomorrow. If you’re at Hendon.

Last night @TheLondonEye was lit up yellow to celebrate the RNLI’s 200th anniversary. And of course we were on hand to capture the moment with the night’s duty crew - Steve King, Craig Burn, Paul Tattam and Conor Hudson - on lifeboat E-07 Hurly Burly.

Today, we celebrate 200 years of saving lives at sea. Thanks to our incredible volunteers, who give their time to save others, and the kindness of supporters like you, we can always answer the call for help. We’d love to hear your stories and memories of the RNLI 👇 #RNLI200

Today marks the 200 year anniversary of the heroes in yellow, saving lives on the water 💛 Congratulations to all of our @RNLI colleagues 👏👍 #RNLI200 @TowerRNLI @ChiswickRNLI @rnli_teddington @GravesendRNLI

Happy birthday to our partners in the RNLI! 🥳 From their iconic yellow wellies to their fearless volunteers, the RNLI embodies true courage and selflessnes. Let's remember the countless lives that have been saved. Here's to another 200 years of saving lives! 🌊💛 #RNLI200th

@SeanHarris999 @CollegeofPolice @MetTaskforce Thank you Sean for all your help with our development days. 👌🏻

Mounted Branch will be patrolling in the Soho and Covent Garden areas tonight between 5pm and 8pm as part of an operation to prevent violence against women and girls. Specifically targeting predatory behaviour around the night time economy.

South East Territorial Support Group Officers deployed to support @MPSCroydon yesterday with this Live Facial Recognition operation. Some fantastic arrests and some really dangerous criminals taken off of our streets. I'm really proud of what they do to keep Londoners safe.

****Internal Recruitment**** Have you ever thought about becoming involved in Training Cops? Developing other Cops? Police staff vacancies and Police Officer roles now out on our Met Careers page! Contact us for further!

Our #Wellbeing Room has been open for over 2 years. It’s now used as a library, pantry (free food for staff and officers) and a chair massage room. I must admit I was worried it wouldn’t remain in its original state - but I’m proud of how people have looked after it 🥰

During the Changing of the Guard this morning, officers noticed a child at the front getting upset because of the large crowd. To help calm him down, officers invited him over the barrier to have a closer view of the ceremony.

Today we will attend the annual memorial service at Harrods in London to pay tribute to Insp Stephen Dodd, PS Noel Lane & WPC Jane Arbuthnot who were murdered there in a terrorist car bomb attack. @metpoliceuk #HonouringThoseWhoServe #LestWeForget #PoliceMemorials #PoliceFamily
