Met Police release Line of Duty-style advert to call for new recruits

It is the Met's first TV ad.

One of the officers featured in the ad, trainee PC Courtney Thompson, said: "I wanted to do a job that was meaningful and something that required passion and drive, and I thought it was really important for London to have a police force that’s reflective of the communities it serves."

She added: "I feel proud to be part of the ad... it's a really exciting time to join and I'd encourage anyone considering it to apply. There are major changes happening and the vision for the future Met is one anyone would be proud to be part of."
