Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley is expected to warn that policing is heading towards failure unless the system is reformed to meet the changing nature of crime.
He will argue that existing arrangements are unable to cope with the sophistication of modern criminals. The warning points to concerns that current policing structures and capabilities are not keeping pace with the challenges faced by law enforcement.
The commissioner’s intervention is expected to focus on the need for changes across the policing system. The supplied details do not set out the specific reforms he will propose or identify which parts of the system he believes require the greatest change.
His warning highlights the potential consequences of continuing without reform, with the current system described as unable to respond effectively to increasingly sophisticated criminal activity. Further details of his argument and any proposed measures were not provided.
