• Meeting date: 02 December 2021

Léonie Cooper AM: I would like to start with the Commissioner, if I may. Becoming a police officer does convey a certain set of powers, so we need to be certain that the people who are going to exercise those powers are people who are fit and proper to do that and are trained, but also do not hold attitudes that would lead them to use those powers in an inappropriate way. Unfortunately, it is one of the things that women are looking at particularly, but we have also seen previous examples. The [investigation into the] [Stephen] Port murders show...

Elly Baker AM: I have a couple of questions about domestic abuse for the Commissioner. We have very little time, though, just to let you know. If we could have short answers, that would be great. The first one is around the use of Domestic Violence Protection Orders (DVPOs) and Domestic Violence Protection Notices (DVPNs), as well as the use of Clare’s Law, which varies significantly across London.
