Mayor’s Police and Crime Plan consultation

Just over 1,600 of you joined the Mayor’s Police and Crime Plan consultation from 18 December 24 – 12 February 2025. 

The final Mayor’s Police and Crime Plan was published on 28 March 2025.

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) used your responses, alongside those from stakeholders and community groups, to help inform the final Plan. 

A total of 3,423 Londoners took part in the surveys conducted for the Police and Crime Plan consultation, here on Talk London and via YouGov. 

Alongside our Talk London survey, MOPAC hosted 52 workshops and consultation events with stakeholders and Londoners to help inform the Plan. There were also numerous working sessions with stakeholders and community groups.

The draft Police and Crime Plan had three overarching themes:  

• Reducing Violence and Criminal Exploitation 
• Improving Trust and Confidence in the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), and
• Improving the Criminal Justice System and Supporting Victims.  

MOPAC has summarised all the consultation feedback in one document. Click below to see the document or scroll down to read the highlights. 

Three quarters of the people consulted via the YouGov poll and two thirds of those consulted here on Talk London supported the main priority areas set out in the draft Police and Crime Plan 2025-2029.  

When asked about what was missing, Londoners said that there should be a clearer emphasis on reform of the Metropolitan Police Service.  

MOPAC heard Londoners’ concerns about ‘neighbourhood’ crimes such as theft and shoplifting as well as antisocial behaviour.  

When asked where they felt most and least safe in London. Londoners said they felt most safe at home, at work, in education and online. They felt least safe in town centres, pubs and clubs, parks and open spaces and on public transport.  

Both trust and confidence in the MPS were low amongst respondents. 

As a result of this feedback, MOPAC has increased emphasis on both of these issues in the final Plan, splitting the Improving Trust and Confidence chapter into two: Building Safer, More Confident Communities and Supporting and Overseeing Reform of the MPS.  

Thank you to all those who took part in the consultation.
