Anyone wanting to become a police officer in London will have to have been living in the capital for at least three of the last six years as the force aims to become "more reflective of the city it serves".
The Metropolitan Police's local recruitment move will see 5,000 new police officers in the next two years, London Mayor Boris Johnson has said.
Mr Johnson added: "It is vital that London's police force reflects the city it serves [...] Recent recruitment rounds have attracted a more diverse pool of applicants, but by focusing exclusively on Londoners from now on, we can achieve our goals more quickly."
The new policy, which comes into effect on August 1, will not affect serving officers or police staff, the Met said.
