Aims to make London the safest city in the world
08/00
28 July 2000
The Metropolitan Policy Authority today endorsed the Metropolitan Police’s Mission, Vision and Values statement (see below). Speaking at the Authority’s meeting in London, the Chair, Toby Harris said:
"The Metropolitan Police’s Vision “to make London the safest major city in the world” may sound ambitious but if everyone, man, woman and child, work together with the Metropolitan Police, I am sure we will succeed in driving down crime and prevent the criminal, the petty thieves and the louts from making life so miserable for far too many of us.
“Working with the Met and all the organisations involved in helping to tackle crime, the Authority will be closely involved in the Metropolitan Police’s plans to make beating crime a reality and will continuously review the progress.”
