Police Oracle - Subscription at source 23/1/2025 News Metropolitan Police Service: return to default phase of monitoring On 28 June 2022, we moved the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) into our enhanced monitoring process, Engage. This provides additional accountability and support to forces when there are causes of concern about their efficiency, effectiveness or legitimacy that appear to need closer scrutiny. We moved the force into our enhanced monitoring process after we identified fundamental issues with its call handling and professional standards, and systematic failures across the force. The findings of the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel report also formed part of the rationale for moving the force to Engage. In our 2023 inspection of the MPS’s handling of the sexual and criminal exploitation of children, we identified three causes of concern. As a result of their severity, we added these causes of concern to the Engage process. We have reviewed the progress against these causes of concern. This letter gives an update on our findings.
