Today marks 2012 days until the opening ceremony of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in London.
Assistant Commissioner Tarique Ghaffur, Security Co-ordinator for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, said:
"In 2012 days the capital will host the opening ceremony for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. I am confident that our world-class experience in policing high profile events will form an excellent foundation for a safe and secure Games.
"Already the Met has done a huge amount of planning, working closely with all our partners. Looking ahead to this year I welcome the formation of the Olympic Security Directorate, bringing together the expertise of 24 agencies under one roof.
"Whilst not under estimating the challenge the games will bring I am sure the Met will deliver and help put in place a lasting legacy for London."
