London Police Ridiculed For Holding ‘Easter Egg Hunt’ While Crime Explodes
London’s Metropolitan police are facing backlash for organising an Easter egg hunt for officers to take part in, while crime in the city runs rampant.
GB News reports on the ridiculous ‘team building’ exercise, which was advertised on posters throughout the huge Empress State Building HQ in west London.
In an even more bizarre decision, children are not permitted to attend the event, while officers specialising in organised crime and counter-terrorism operations are welcome.
'The Met Police are doing an Easter egg hunt! The upsetting thing is how many will still manage to evade them?!'

Former Met Police detective Peter Bleksley remarked that the “ludicrous” exercise makes for terrible optics as crime is out of control in the city.
Police are engaging in childish games “While London burns and people don’t get an investigation into their burglaries, car theft, the theft of tools from their van, harassment on the Tube, having their phones snatched,” Bleksley urged.
“No wonder there’s a crime wave,” he added.
Empress State Building, which houses many departments of @metpoliceuk, including counter-terrorism squads, are holding an Easter egg hunt tomorrow. Not for kids, but for officers and their partners. Meanwhile, crime continues unabated… pic.twitter.com/CQiqGPVJTa

A Met Police spokesman defended the event, saying: “The Easter Egg Hunt is a short, team-building event open to any employee who wishes to attend, as well as any partner agencies who might be in the building.”
“Those who take part will be using their scheduled break times and nobody will be prioritising this event over responding to urgent calls or dealing with core police work,” they further claim.
Nevertheless, Londoners and everyone else expressed disbelief online:
So they hunt Easter Eggs now? That makes me feel a whole lot safer 🐰

why not make it a crime hunt, where the person who stops the most crime wins

Sounds like a good day for the Thieves in London, while the met are cracking open an Easter egg, the robbers will be cracking open some Safes somewhere

My guess is they'll find about 2% of the eggs – in line with their clear-up rate for burglaries!

Looking for things?
They will just give the kids a crime number and tell them they are to busy and its not a priority
As we have highlighted recently, one of the largest police forces in the UK is being forced to undergo mandatory equity training where they are being told to recognise their ‘White privilege’ despite White officers being discriminated against by the same force in the name of ‘diversity’.
All of this is set against a backdrop of police arresting people and ‘investigating’ social media posts.
Police in the UK are making about 12,000 arrests a year for posts on social media that cause offence.

That’s more than 30 arrests per day for speech crime.
Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 should be repealed. pic.twitter.com/WNi7HLVS2P
UK police arrest a man for a social media post he made that triggered someone’s anxiety 🤦♂️

There already is a 'social media police force'.

It's called 'the police'.
They arrest thousands of people a year for social media posts, more than Communist China. https://t.co/GSjjsKkEZZ
