Metropolitan Police is a generic title for the municipal police force for a major metropolitan area, and it may be part of the official title of the force. They provide all general police services and tend to be headed by a chief called a Commissioner or Sheriff.
In the United States, metropolitan police agencies have often been formed through mergers between several local police agencies formerly holding jurisdiction within neighboring communities within a metropolitan area or county, such as several local police departments and possibly the county sheriff's office.
Typically, such communities have experienced recent population growth and urban sprawl, which causes the area to more closely resemble and function as one single conurbation. Under these circumstances, a single law enforcement agency with a unified command, jurisdiction and support structure comes to be seen as more appropriate and efficient.
A related concept exists in some American counties in which county sheriffs' offices contract with some (though not necessarily all) local cities or towns within their counties to provide all law enforcement services in those municipalities in lieu of a separate city or town police force.
London i/ˈlʌndən/ is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom. Standing on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. It was founded by the Romans, who named it Londinium. London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km2) medieval boundaries and in 2011 had a resident population of 7,375, making it the smallest city in England. Since at least the 19th century, the term London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms Greater London, a region of England governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. The conurbation also covers two English counties: the small district of the City of London and the county of Greater London. The latter constitutes the vast majority of London, though historically it was split between Middlesex (a now abolished county), Essex, Surrey, Kent and Hertfordshire.
The Metropolitan Police Service (abbreviated to MPS and widely known informally as "the Met") is the territorial police force responsible for law enforcement in Greater London, excluding the "square mile" of the City of London, which is the responsibility of the City of London Police. The Met also has significant national responsibilities, such as co-ordinating and leading on counter-terrorism matters and protection of the British Royal Family and senior figures of Her Majesty's Government.
As of October 2011, the Met employed 48,661 full-time personnel. This included 31,478 sworn police officers, 13,350 non-police staff, and 3,831 non-sworn police community support officers. This number excludes the 5,479 Special Constables, who work part-time (a minimum of 16 hours a month) and who have the same powers and uniform as their regular colleagues. This makes the Metropolitan Police the largest police force in the United Kingdom by a significant margin, and one of the biggest in the world.
A police force is a constituted body of persons empowered by the state to enforce the law, protect property, and limit civil disorder. Their powers include the legitimized use of force. The term is most commonly associated with police services of a sovereign state that are authorized to exercise the police power of that state within a defined legal or territorial area of responsibility. Police forces are often defined as being separate from military or other organizations involved in the defense of the state against foreign aggressors; however, gendarmerie are military units charged with civil policing.
Law enforcement, however, constitutes only part of policing activity. Policing has included an array of activities in different situations, but the predominant ones are concerned with the preservation of order. In some societies, in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, these developed within the context of maintaining the class system and the protection of private property. Many police forces suffer from police corruption to a greater or lesser degree. The police force is usually a public sector service, meaning they are paid through taxes.

It normally takes three and a half months to qualify as a police officer - but a new scheme puts graduates in front-line policing in just six weeks. It's called Police Now and is designed to encourage more recruits from different backgrounds to join. But, as Caroline Davies reports, there are concerns about how long these fast tracked recruits will last in the Met.
We have increased the number of armed officers on our streets to protect our Capital against the terrorism threat. The threat remains at severe. Every armed officer in the UK has volunteered to carry a firearm and they are paid no more for doing this. These men and women do this as they are committed to their duty, to keep you safe. If there is a critical incident we tell the public to "Run, Hide, Tell", but these brave officers will run towards danger as it's their job to protect you and confront the threat, whatever it may be. We are working hard to protect all communities, no matter what the threat. More armed officers out on the streets will mean we can respond more quickly to armed criminality and other serious threats. This was clearly shown last week, when firearms officers were...

On May 3rd 2016 the founder and chief executive of Hermitage Capital Management, Bill Browder, testified to the House of Commons Home Affairs Select Committee as to his personal experience dealing with the UK's premier police force and the UK's national law-enforcement agencies. Mr. Browder tells a remarkable story of how the Russian authorities stole $230m of taxes paid by his Moscow-based investment company, distributed it around the world, and then murdered his Moscow lawyer who had unearthed the fraud. After six years of investigation by his lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, Mr. Browder established that the perpetrators had distributed the money to twelve countries including: the United States, Canada, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Lithuania, and the United Kingdom. In all cases Mr. B...
