The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has published his plan for policing and keeping Londoners safe during this Mayoral term. Following consultation with nearly 4,000 Londoners, victims of crime, agencies, community groups and businesses, the Mayor’s Police and Crime Plan sets out his vision for a city in which Londoners are safer – and feel safer.

The Mayor's Priorities

The four key themes of the Plan are:

  • Reducing and preventing violence – preventing and reducing violence affecting young people; making London a city in which women and girls are safer and feel safer; tackling the harm caused by drugs; reducing reoffending by the most violent and high-risk groups; preventing hate crime; and working together to prevent terrorism and violent extremism.
  • Increasing trust and confidence – increasing public trust in the MPS and reducing gaps in confidence between different groups; ensuring that the MPS engages with Londoners and treats them fairly; and ensuring that the MPS, borough councils and all community safety partners respond to neighbourhood crimes such as burglary and anti-social behaviour.
  • Better supporting victims – improving the service and support that victims receive from the MPS and the criminal justice service; working to ensure victims receive a better criminal justice response and outcome; and reducing the number of repeat victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence.
  • Protecting people from being exploited or harmed – reducing the number of young people and adults who are criminally exploited or harmed; keeping young people in the justice system supported and safe; and keeping people safe online.

A number of additional documents accompany and support the Police and Crime Plan.

Follow our progress in delivering the Plan

MOPAC is overseeing the delivery of the Mayor’s Police and Crime Plan by tracking a core set of measures of policing and crime activity. These measures reflect the Mayor’s priorities and the activity and input of all criminal justice partners. MOPAC’s outcomes framework presents a balanced view across the priorities set out in this Plan.

We have published a new, interactive data dashboard to enable Londoners to follow the progress being made towards achieving those outcomes.
