    How many more warranted police (i.e. Police Officers and Special Constables) are there in Merton and Wandsworth since May 2008?

  • Protecting Policing

    How will the Metropolitan Police Service use its resources more efficiently during the next three years?

  • Priorities for Budget Cuts (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2011
    What you have described as increasing the bureaucracy have principally been things which have been forced on you externally. Would you be willing to look at things done internally, at the request perhaps of the MPS and more frequently at the request of the MPA, which are rather foolish and look to the public as being extremely odd? You have mentioned your standard operating procedures. This nonsense about how you should ride a bicycle etc are patently obvious and we should not be wasting time training people to do things which to the ordinary man is a complete waste of...

  • Priorities for Budget Cuts (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2011
    Last month I was fortunate enough to tour Romford Town Centre with the Borough Commander, who showed me the work that has been done to tackle crime associated with the night time economy which is a serious problem for us in Romford. Regrettably last month we had a shooting which is quite unusual. Stabbings and violence is not unusual but a shooting is. Can you explain how you are going to tackle crime in places like Romford in the night time economy set against this background of austerity that we need to deal with?

  • Priorities for Budget Cuts (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2011
    This question is about the effect of budget cuts on police work but I think the public always ask, 'All right about the police work but what about unnecessary bureaucracy?' Do you both feel you are bearing down enough on unnecessary bureaucracy? I am thinking of the pursuit of targets and box ticking which was brought in largely by the last Government. For example, I believe the Home Office has suggested that the Policing Pledge should go. Are you going to remove the Policing Pledge in the MPS or not? Are you doing enough on bureaucracy or is Government perhaps...

  • Next steps on public access channels (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2011
    This may be more a question for Kit Malthouse, as an accountant. Are you satisfied that the MPS property estate management is as fast on its feet as it ought to be? Because it does seem to me that in the last few years we were at one point in a considerable property boom and I got the impression that a lot of opportunities were missed at that stage. What is your view?

  • Protecting Policing (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 08 June 2011
    Could you tell me how the rapid response experiment has been going, in terms of using resources more efficiently?

  • Safer Transport Initiatives

    • Reference: 2008/0017-1
    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    How effective have your safer transport initiatives been at reducing crime and anti-social behaviour on public transport?

  • Numbers of Police Officers (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Some police officers within the service are definitely in danger of losing the roles that they do now. They are members of the Metropolitan Police Trafficking Unit whose funding has been stopped by the Home Office; some £2.3 million. We have a motion on the agenda later today asking for support for that unit and I believe it will get cross-party support. Will you, Mr Mayor, make sure the money is available in the budget to carry on the unit's good work? It is £2.3 million, which is not a great amount when you consider the overall budget of the...

  • Safer Transport Initiatives (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 03 December 2008
    Richard Tracey (AM): Can I say that the indications to me from my constituents is that they are absolutely overjoyed by the Safer Transport Teams and the effectiveness that they are having, and well done to the Metropolitan Police Service for providing them. My question is, to what extent are the Safer Transport Teams able to work very closely with the British Transport Police and also to respond to the live CCTV (closed-circuit television) coverage of some of the buses, particularly? The other thing is can you explain to me how many of the teams are equipped with the small...
