The Met introduced a scheme 'Right Care Right Person' to cut time on mental health calls, leading to quicker responses to crimes and more time spent at crime scenes.
Det Supt Alastair Vanner mentioned types of mental health calls officers won't attend, leading to 34,000 saved officer hours per month.
Met commissioner originally planned scheme for 2023, causing tension with health organizations. Talks led to agreement for health sector to handle extra workload.
