  • What are the biggest challenges with regards to policing and crime in London, and how are you and the Metropolitan Police Service delivering for Londoners? Vetting Officers (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 02 December 2021
    Caroline Pidgeon MBE AM: Commissioner, we know that after serious concerns were raised by HMICFRS about a huge backlog in vetting and re-vetting of officers back in around 2018/19, progress has been made. But the Deputy Commissioner told me earlier this month that there are still around 100 officers whose up-to-date vetting status is in question.

  • Violent Crime in London (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    A couple of very specific questions here around violent crime in London. Recorded knife crime with injury offences has gone up 51% in the last six months. We have had some terrible recent incidents across London. Given the success of the London-wide firearms amnesty last month, and this current hike in knife offences, would you consider launching a similar amnesty for knives in London?

  • Transparency in the Metropolitan Police Service (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    That is really reassuring, Commissioner, because I think trust is really essential for the public and we have had some really recent high-profile cases where we have seen respected celebrities and other public servants jailed, some of them as paedophiles, and their hideous crimes uncovered, and I think with this sort of thing going on it is really important for the public to have absolute trust in the police and their investigations. Mr Mayor, do you think it is right for the MPS to have a compulsory public register of interests, including membership of the freemasons?
