You are about to embark on a career to fight want to share the pride I feel in being your Commissioner and part of an organisation as important as the MPS.
2 The work that we all do is central to the safety of Londoners. You are now an ambassador for an organisation that is respected worldwide. Our success depends on us all working towards the same goals. I want to take this opportunity to share what I believe those goals are and how I want you to deliver them. We must all be absolutely clear about our priorities. As Commissioner I have three aims: to cut crime, cut costs, and continue to develop the culture of the MPS. I want to do all that based on simple but important values of humility, transparency and integrity. Whatever we do, we can always do it better. My aim is to lead an organisation that looks constantly to improve itself at all levels.
3 It is my intention to build on public trust in the MPS and lead a SERVICE that criminals will fear, and STAFF will be proud to work for. I want to do what I call Total Policing. What I m talking about is a war on crime. I want to focus on crime prevention taking the initiative back from the criminal, taking them on and putting them on the back foot. I encourage innovation. Where new techniques or new technology can help in that war, I want to maximise use of it. Total Policing also means Total Care for victims preventing people from becoming victims in the first place where possible but, where we have victims, ensuring that the MPS gives the best possible support.
4 And I want to do that with Total Professionalism, so that the MPS continues to foster the support and trust of law-abiding Londoners, whilst ensuring that it is an organisation that all criminals fear. I look forward to leading you to make Londoners Hogan-Howe Commissioner QPM 1 WELCOME TO THE MPSCOMMISSIONER S WELCOME MESSAGESECTION ONEB ernard Hogan-Howe Commissioner QPM 23 OUR MISSION, VALUES AND BEHAVIOURSSECTION TWOAs a member of the MPS family, you should familiarise yourself with our priorities as they drive everything we do as a POLICE London requires our all every day. This should be at the forefront of everyone s minds as we go about our basis of Total Policing is simple; having a total war on crime, giving total care to victims and having professionalism in everything we WAR ON CRIMEWe are crime fighters.
5 This is a vital part of policing. Tackling crime, arresting criminals and bringing them before a court is the core of what we do, doing whatever we can to arrest criminals and stop crime as long as it is legal and ethnical. TOTAL VICTIM CARE It is important that when a victim reports a crime that we tell them how that crime is being progressed and that they have confidence in those dealing with their case. We also need to ask ourselves are we sensitive to the victims needs, what is unique about them and how do we tailor our SERVICE to meet their needs? We must always remember that we have a duty of care to our PROFESSIONALISMHow we will achieve Total Policing as a whole is through Total Professionalism.
6 Whatever we do, even where we have to be assertive, we do it professionally, courteously and, most importantly, we do it effectively. Setting standards and maintaining these standards across the organisation day in day out. We expect the highest standards from STAFF across the Met and rightly so, the work of POLICE is closely scrutinised. Likewise when officers and STAFF do an outstanding job they should know how much it is valued by the rest of the Met, and no doubt the Londoners we serve.
