City of London Police

Policing the Square Mile brings with it particular challenges, quite unlike any other policing area within the UK. The City of London is the world’s leading international financial and business centre.

In addition to the hustle and bustle of a vibrant 24/7 business community, each night around 10,000 residents call the City their home, whilst every day over 300,000 people (from an estimated 189 different cultures and nationalities) come to work in the City from Greater London and the south east of England. Over 4 million people visit the City annually.

City of London Police are committed to fighting crime at all levels. It is often the case that residents’ and workers’ priorities will be different from those that impact on large corporations and those concerns are given appropriate regard.
