The Op. Venice Team no longer exists. The skills, functions and officers were absorbed into the newly established proactive teams on BCU (Basic Command Units) and the MO7 Surge team, made up of four teams, located across the four quarters of London. The teams focus on supporting BCUs to tackle Met performance priorities and threats.
