Met expands use of crime data to focus on most serious criminals

Precision policing' approach builds on force's strategy to identify the 100 most dangerous men in London

The Metropolitan police is expanding its use of precision policing", an approach that uses crime data to focus police activity, in an effort to remove some of the most serious criminals from the streets.

The move builds on the Met's strategy to identify the 100 most dangerous men in London. It will create a more powerful offender forecasting tool and broaden the range of crimes the force targets through data analysis.
