The Metropolitan Police Service in the UK is at risk of significant service cuts unless the government increases its funding, according to Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley. He expressed concerns over ongoing negotiations regarding the police budget, which is currently over £3.5 billion. Rowley highlighted that past measures to support the budget are exhausted, warning that the force’s ability to address the unique challenges of policing London is becoming increasingly precarious. With looming decisions on funding allocations, the future stability of the force hangs in the balance.
