Recruitment events and workshops – discover more with Outreach

We know that starting any new job can be daunting but we are here to help. 

So if you’ve got a question before you apply, are keen to find out more about what it’s like to be a police officer in the Met or want to know what the day to day role looks like, we’ve got a team who specialise in supporting people to join us.

Known as Outreach, the team is made up of both police officers and staff.  We want to be a Met that is more representative of the City we serve, so whilst our Outreach team work with all Londoners they mostly work closely with those from under-represented communities.

Outreach run online and in person events; insight sessions and themed workshops to help you understand if this is the right career for you and to support you at each step of the application process.

Come and meet us in person - recruitment and insight events

You’ll find us at all the major job shows and fairs in London throughout the year.  Every month in London our teams are holding events that you can come along to; meet our officers; ask any questions; learn more about the realities of policing London and find out about the application process from eligibility criteria to the steps involved. 

Online insight sessions

Every week we are running online, virtual sessions to meet us and ask any questions you may have or to find out more about what it’s like to be an officer in the Met. You can learn more about the realities of policing London; the career opportunities and benefits. As well as our application process from eligibility to all the steps involved.

Staff Support Associations (SSA)

Staff Support Associations are groups within the Met made up of officers and staff that share a commonality. The associations include groups across protected characteristics; disability, gender, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation and beyond.

The SSAs provide support; guidance and information to their members and the wider Met to ultimately improve what it’s like to work in the Met for everybody.

Our SSAs are used as a sounding board within the Met, providing their insight to shape how the Met does things, both internally and externally with our communities of London.

Should you wish to speak to a particular SSA, please expand the list below and email us to let us know which group you'd like to contact.
