Police shouldn't show allegiance to any political cause, new Met Chief Mark Rowley has told LBC over taking the knee.
He also said getting the simple things right, like attending burglaries, was on his to-do list as well as improving neighbourhood policing.
Disregarding concerns over officers spending too much time on "symbolic gestures" such as taking the knee, as suggested by Home Secretary Suella Braverman, Sir Mark said his priority was instead cutting crime.'Ill-informed nonsense': Met chief slaps down suggestion counter-terror police should be made a separate unit"We shouldn't show allegiance to any political cause whether it has 99 per cent public support or 1 per cent public cause.
"The majority of terrorist attacks take place in London. The London-centric nature of terrorism in this country means that separating it out from the Met would create a massive problem to try and co-ordinate a policing terror organisation and the Metropolitan police because they would have to work so closely together you’d say why did we ever separate it out."
"It would be a distraction from what I’ve got to worry about at the moment, which is improving policing for London." Sir Mark concluded: "I have a majority of great men and women who are honest and dedicated and often heroic and with them - and with a clear focus - we will bounce back."
