Decision
I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.
Please find below information pursuant to your request above.
Information Caveat
Please note no one is seconded to Met CC rather Officers are posted to MetCC. The MPS is unable to provide a breakdown of roles completed by police officers as the majority of our staff are multi-skilled and work in both First contact and Despatch.
