Dick is negotiating with the government in an effort to increase funding for the MPS . She said to LBC , " Terrorism is a shifting threat , not a spike , that puts a strain not just on counter-terror police but neighbourhood officers . This is not sustainable for my police service . " Dick fears the MPS will need to find £ 400 million per year savings in addition to the £ 600 million annual savings they have already found . She fears this will make fighting crime harder . Dick said , " I find it incredible to think that anybody would think that over the next four or five years we should lose that much extra out of our budget . " In June 2017 Dick faced criticism for praising the " diversity " of the victims of the Islamic terror attack on London Bridge that killed eight people . Dick claimed that the nationalities of those killed told a proud story of the city ’s diversity , noting that " among those who died is someone who ’s British , there are French , Australian , Canadian , Spanish "
