Jail rethink 'will generate a lot of work for the police'
Bristol Post
|May 29, 2025
THE head of the Metropolitan Police says fewer criminals serving jail time under proposals to end prison overcrowding will “generate a lot of work for police”.
-
Met Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley highlighted that “massive resources” had been put into chasing a teenager arrested on suspicion of firearms and machete offences who was bailed.
Sir Mark and five other senior police officers wrote in The Times on Wednesday, publicly calling on the Government to provide “serious investment” at this month's spending review.
As well as increasing demand and new online threats from organised crime, Sir Mark and the other chiefs said the emergency release of prisoners to alleviate overcrowding and recommendations in the sentencing review would put more pressure on policing.
