Around 250 specialist investigators are continuing their work as part of the Met Police operation following the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower on June 14, the Metropolitan Police has said.
Families and loved ones of those who died in the fire and those who are missing and presumed dead have now met with key members of the Met's team and the Senior Coroner, Dr Fiona Wilcox.
Commander Stuart Cundy, who is overseeing the Met's response to the fire at Grenfell Tower, said the search and recovery operation was on-going with officers working seven days a week at the site.
He also asked for residents' help with the criminal investigation into the fatal fire. The investigation, one of the largest and most complex in the Met's history, continues into how and why the fire started.
Detectives are appealing to those people who lived in Grenfell Tower and may have images of the building's fire safety features from before the fire to provide them to police.
Previously, temporary Detective Chief Superintendent Fiona McCormack said: "Specialist experts - BRE - are working on a flat by flat assessment of every safety feature so we can provide individual accounts to families, the public inquiry and my investigation. This is so we can be clear on the state of each flat and any specific fire safety features as well as every part of the building.
"We are continuing to seize material on a daily basis and the number of companies and organisations that we know so far to have played a role in the refurbishment alone is over 60.
"We are continuing to take statements from the survivors of Grenfell Tower and, as I have said, we have previously listened to each and every one of the 600 plus 999 calls made to the emergency services that night.
"It is a priority for the Met Police. Our investigation will be exhaustive - it must provide the answers that so many people are seeking and so desperately deserve."
The police update comes after Communities Secretary, Sajid Javid, announced that he is putting in place an independent Recovery Taskforce to help the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) deal with the longer term recovery of the Grenfell Tower fire.
"The scale of the recovery effort needed on the Lancaster West estate in the months to come cannot be underestimated," he said. "As well as providing that immediate support, we must have an eye to the future. This intervention is putting in place the foundations that will support the longer term recovery."
