We are aware of video footage that is circulating on social media this evening following the stopping of a car in Hackney. Our colleagues want to be able to share their Body Worn Video of the incident and as a Federation we are calling for this to happen.

Being a firearms officer in London is one of the world's toughest jobs. Officers - volunteers - know the responsibility/accountability that comes with it and deserve our support. Ill-informed commentary from those in positions of power following any tragic incident is unwarranted

Once again Notting Hill Carnival marred by serious violence - and attacks on Police Officers. 75 of our colleagues assaulted. Six bitten. One sexually assaulted. One in hospital. This is absolutely disgusting. No wonder our members dread policing this event. #ProtectTheProtectors

As a lawyer we would expect the Mayor of London to believe, respect and understand that everyone has a right to a fair hearing. That should include our members. Trying to prejudice the outcome is a scandalous new low. To remind we have no faith in @SadiqKhan
This case is yet another example of why it is vital that the next Commissioner has a more effective plan to tackle the serious cultural issues within the Met Police and to regain the trust of Londoners.

Police Officers have no choice but to use their cars when they start working at 4am/5am or finish in the early hours. They will be forced to pay £12.50 a day extra to keep the public safe at a time of poor pay & food banks. What a disgusting way for the Mayor to treat the Police.
🚨 Extraordinary broadside against Sadiq Khan's Ultra-low emission zone in London on @LBC...
From Care England's Professor Martin Green.
Warns the £12.50 daily charge will place "enormous" pressure on carers and the NHS, who'll be unable to afford to work in London.
