London Metropolitan Police Service London, England

The Metropolitan Police Service provide law enforcement to the area known as the Metropolitan Police District or MPD. It covers the 32 London boroughs that make up Greater London, but excludes area of the City of London, which has its own police force. In 2004, the Metropolitan Police absorbed the duties of patrolling of the Royal Parks in London, that had been performed the former Royal Parks Constabulary. The Diplomatic Protection Group is a specialized division of the Police Service that provides protection and support to members of the Diplomatic Community and members of British Government. The Diplomatic Protection Group uses red vehicles to differentiate their vehicles from other police vehicles. In 2005, the Metropolitan Police began to order vehicles in silver instead of white, to help with resale value after service life is over. In 2012, The Metropolitan Police became one of the last police forces in the UK to switch to Battenberg markings for their vehicles. New vehicles that enter into duty after 2012 will have the new markings, replacing the old "jam sandwich" markings.
