Cost of Metropolitan Police Comes Under Fire in London Magazine
A London Magazine writer estimates Metropolitan Police costs at £4,000 with 17 212 officers earning up to £800 and lower bands. Chief inspectors at royal residences receive clothing allowances, boot pay, and coal, while special duty pay comes from employers. Funeral costs, court services, stalls, doctors, and transport add substantially. Public buildings are funded differently, with Treasury support and private employers paying about £14,000 yearly for police presence.
