The Metropolitan Police should make its collection of crime-related artifacts available to the public to help boost income for frontline policing, according to a report written by a Conservative member of the Greater London Authority’s policing and crime committee.

Roger Evans published the views in the History's Life Sentence report which claims the Met’s collections should be used as part of a visitor attraction. The current collection is located at New Scotland Yard and can only be accessed with an invitation.

However, the report suggests that the items be moved to a temporary exhibition in an existing museum with the help of an independent or private partner. This way the Met’s budget would not be impacted by large running costs.

The report says a three-month exhibit could realistically attract 300,000 people. With this in mind, charging £15 for a ticket could bring in £4.5m. The report continues that even if the Met was to receive a fifth of this sum, it could pay for 54,900 additional frontline police hours.

According to reports, the Met has no plans to proceed with the recommendations.
