Commissioner's 100

The C100 was a movement of frontline officers and staff, started in May 2012, who refused to believe "the job is f****d". They wanted to improve the Met from the bottom up rather than just the top down.

What was the C100 trying to achieve?

What are the rules of the C100?

There’s no more money and there’s no more people. However, this is not an excuse not to improve things. There is actually a huge amount that can still be done much better even with less money/people.

This is not about self-interest or peacocking. If you are here because you think it will improve your pension situation or get you promoted, then this isn’t for you. This is about the public interest and making improvements to policing. Everyone in the room is equal, and so it’s no rank and first name terms.

This is about practical action, not strategic "blah" or general sweeping statements of the problems or solutions (all of which are some variant of more leadership, better communication, less silo working) – but actually specifics, the specific actions that we can take.

This is about taking personal risks. Ultimately we are going to make things better, faster, if we personally take the initiative to try and change things and set the example about how that could be done.

So the C100 is not just about giving the Commissioner a shopping list of ideas or actions. It’s also about working out how we can ourselves make those ideas happen.
