Well it’s a reputation, so it’s hard to quantify. But anecdotally I’ve heard from numerous people who had dealings with that they were very competent (compared to most British forces presumably).
I’ve also heard that their average level of policeman is more educated , ie many holding degrees, masters etc. I presume this must be due to the nature of the work they’re most known for ie combatting complex fraud, organised crime etc
- walthamstow 2y agoThey have about 1 officer per 10 people living there which helps quite a bit For reference, the Met has 33k officers for 10m people
- OJFord 2y agoBecause policing is all about who's resident in the territory covered?
- walthamstow 2y agoIs that what I said? Nope
- OJFord 2y agoErm, yep? You compared #officers/#residents for City & Met police; I'm saying that's irrelevant. City has much lower #residents/#crime, or / money changing hands, or / footfall on an average business day, etc.
- r-w 2y agoGood point, bad tone :)
- Steve44 2y agoThere is one very important caveat about the population of the City though. Whilst there are only 8,600 residents, there are apparently over 600,000 commuters working there every day. https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/about-us/about-the-city-of-london-corporation/our-role-in-london https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/about-us/about-the-city-of-l...
