Violence against shop workers update

Violence against shop workers update

I wanted to provide an update regarding Violence against shop workers, which members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

Once again to all of you who work in retail,if you are verbally or physically abused this is unaceptable,please let us know ASAP and we will do something about it.
Nobody goes to work to be abused and we will make sure it stops.

Violence against shop workers and staff is a serious crime that should not be tolerated. Whether physical or verbal, any incident in which a person is abused, threatened or assaulted in circumstances relating to their work is completely unacceptable. If you do see any of this taking place, please report it as soon as possible or call 999. 

For more information, please see the Metropolitan Police website.

We want your help to shape the future of policing across London. We are seeking your views on our new inclusion strategy to ensure that the Met is a police service that is trusted, representative and more effective at keeping London safe. You can have your say on our Inclusion Strategy consultation which runs until Thursday 26 November.
