The Metropolitan Police is launching a “walk and talk” initiative where women can raise concerns to officers in an effort to improve their safety and rebuild public trust in the force in the wake of a series of scandals.
The scheme is being rolled out across London on International Women’s Day on March 8 and will see members of the public go out on patrol with officers and point out areas where they feel vulnerable.
It was first started by a police officer in south London’s Lambeth in the wake of the murder of Sarah Everard last March.
