Earlier this week, Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley set out our next phase in using technology to tackle crime and stay ahead of offenders. From cutting-edge AI video analytics to expanding Live Facial Recognition and Drone capabilities - this is how policing can regain and retain the advantage.

Watch as police officers confront a man suspected of carrying out a terrorist attack in north London where two men were stabbed. The suspect refused to show his hands, was violent and continued to pose a clear threat. Using only their training, courage and tasers, they detained him while he continued to try to attack and stab them. This took true courage.

A repeat offender linked to 26 crimes such as burglaries and thefts from motor vehicles is back in custody. He attempted to flee in a nearby river when officers attended his home but was quickly located by the dog unit and arrested. 👏 Another prolific offender taken off our streets thanks to PD Bowser & his handler.

A police van gave chase to a Smart car driven by a not-so-smart suspect. Officers skilfully weaved in and out of rush‑hour traffic to apprehend the driver, who mounted pavements and ran red lights at dangerous speeds. Just because it’s a van, it doesn’t mean it can’t keep up!

@obbsie We will do! Don’t forget you can always say thanks more formally at met.police.uk/fo/feedback/th…

@MPSRTPC And another for the collection. Grateful if you could pass this to the officer. x.com/obbsie/status/…

@OliverF91909342 @MPSSpecials @MPSGreenwich Morning, they do indeed yes.

@MPSSpecials @MPSGreenwich @MPSRTPC Genuine question - do PCs in VFES still use V shoulder numbers or not? Never seen a VRES officer in person so haven't been able to confirm

The Charlton #VRES officers are currently deployed on #OpSpartan. Along with mobile patrols, we have the job of recovering seized vehicles. #Fatal4 #RecoveryOnScene @MPSGreenwich @MPSRTPC

No sir, it most definitely is not 'worn engine mounts' causing your car to shake like that.

@obbsie We know him well! We will pass the message and photo on 👌

@MPSRTPC 😂😂😂I hope you can ensure that the PC in question gets sight of the pic. I couldn't get his shoulder number but did get his name that I can let you have via DM. I did ask Press Bureau to forward it on but have had no reply.

A future traf pol officer in waiting. Great rapport just off Whitehall.

What started as a routine patrol in Walthamstow quickly turned into a pursuit. When officers tried to stop the rider, he made off, crashing into an officer’s bike. He was later arrested after a chase and found in possession of drugs and a sword.

Three mopeds, three very bad getaway plans. Caught by the interceptors in under two minutes and it was game over.
