The Metropolitan Police is deploying more visible and approachable officers at Wembley Stadium events in London as part of efforts to tackle violence against women and girls, with officers encouraging positive interactions such as taking selfies with fans. The initiative will be part of the force's campaign to build trust and deter predatory behaviour at major concerts and sporting events.
But the move did not happen out of thin air. It comes after growing scrutiny of how authorities respond to violence against women and girls, alongside efforts by the Met to rebuild public confidence following high-profile cases involving serving officers.
