London is one of the most exciting and diverse cities in the world and home to almost nine million people. Supporting the Met`s fight against violence and vulnerability, the analysis and research of crime, intelligence and data to identify patterns and opportunities for enforcement and intervention are key to the targeting of offenders and the deployment of assets across London.

The challenges of a changing criminal landscape means that there are huge opportunities for you to get involved in making London safer at a time of unprecedented change and scrutiny. This role offers opportunities to work on and influence directly the future of analysis and research in the MPS and to make a meaningful difference to London, the Met and the communities that it serves.
