Police Jobs in the
London
2 forces covering City of London, Westminster, Croydon, Ealing, Newham and the surrounding area — with live vacancies and what each force actually pays.
London is policed by two forces with entirely different footprints: the Metropolitan Police covers the whole capital, while the City of London Police covers just the Square Mile. Both pay London Weighting and the two-part London Allowance on top of the national scale, which makes them the highest-paying starting posts in the country — though that gap is closed considerably by London housing costs.
Starting pay across the London
Every force in this region pays the same national starting salary, with no regional supplement.
| Force | Starting |
|---|---|
| City of London Police | £42,331 incl. £8,362 |
| Metropolitan Police | £42,331 incl. £8,362 |
