Ongoing Commitment to Victim Support

The Metropolitan Police has made strides in improving strategies for handling sexual offenses. In the past five years, arrests and charges for rape and serious sexual offenses have more than tripled. The Met treats every report seriously, prioritizing respect and care for all victims.
