A watchdog has found that the Metropolitan Police was "failing" in several areas of its work and has now raised "serious concerns".
His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Service (HMICFRS) has warned that Scotland Yard must urgently make several improvements just days after Sir Mark Rowley became Commissioner. In light of the findings, the force said it was "committed" to tackling its problems.
Deputy Commissioner Dame Lynne Owens said their pledge to London was "more trust, less crime, high standards" after the watchdog graded the force as inadequate in the way it responds to the public.

“Recording victims’ wishes is vital to support the criminal justice process and to understand
