Please be advised that the MPS do not have a Police and Crime Commissioner. The Mayor of London (currently Sadiq Khan) heads the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) and acts in a similar way to the Police and Crime Commissioners elsewhere in England. FOIA requests for the Mayor of London should be directed to MOPAC. To assist and for your convenience I have provided a link to the relevant page on the MOPAC website below:
