Met Volunteer

The Met Volunteer Programme (MVP) was established in 2001 with the primary aim of getting local communities more closely involved with their policing, and so improving the service we can offer. It operates throughout London via a network of MVP Managers, whose role it is to recruit and support volunteers.

Volunteers benefit the Met in a multitude of ways. They bring a wide range of skills and experience. They add value to the work of trained staff, helping to enhance service delivery and improve customer service. Furthermore, they act as advocates for the police, increasing understanding and building relationships in the communities they live and work in.

So not only does the scheme give you the chance to make a valuable contribution to the safety and security of your community, it also allows officers and staff to spend more time doing what they are trained to do.

Currently volunteers support the Met in areas such:

• Safer Neighbourhood teams
• Assisting at front counters
• General administration
• Press Office support
• Role-plays for Police training
• Neighbourhood Watch support

Tasks can include updating databases, collating evaluation questionnaires and general administration tasks. There's a wide range of areas in which your borough might need additional support.

The mission of the MVP is to be the best volunteer programme in the public sector, and we are working closely with our volunteers to fulfil that objective. The MVP has been described by Volunteering England, as "the best volunteer programme of its kind in the public sector". We will continue to grow, develop and improve to ensure that communities and the Met are working as closely as possible.

If you have a few hours to devote to helping your community each week, the MVP may be just the opportunity for you.

Please remember: you MUST be over 18, have over 3 years' permanent, continuous UK residence and should live or work in the borough in which you wish to volunteer. Please do NOT submit applications to more than one Borough, as this will significantly delay your application.

Complete an initial application form

You need to download and complete a Met Volunteer Programme Application Form and then email your completed form direct to your local borough MVP Manager.

In addition to borough volunteers, we are also looking for volunteers to assist with the newly formed Olympic Security Directorate, which is led by the MPS and is responsible for the co-ordination and planning of security for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
