    • Reference: 2012/0016-2
    • Question by: Steve O'Connell
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2012
    Steve O'Connell (AM): Turning to resources, I know recently you have written to the Chair with an update on your thoughts around PCSO numbers and improvement and that letter has been copied to us, so thank you for that.

  • Victims of Crime (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2012
    Tony Arbour (AM): I have been looking at this card, and I have to say I am not sure I agree with you, Kit, that people do not expect criminals to be caught. I seem to recall Kit Malthouse (Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime): They do. Tony Arbour (AM): the saintly Sir Robert Peel [Home Secretary who established the Metropolitan Police Force in the 1820s], when he put down the things of people being caught and brought to justice; no mention of that on the card. The key thing about this card which I note is that it says...

  • Victims of Crime (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: James Cleverly
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2012
    James Cleverly (AM): Following up from Victoria's questions about particularly young victims of crime and their confidence in policing, and I do not want to go crashing into one of the issues we have later on, but we are going to be touching a little bit on disproportionality. From memory, from the feedback we get from the sectors of the community who are least confident interacting with the police, the young tend to be less confident than the older generation. Black and other ethnic minorities tend to be less confident than the white population. Specifically with young, potentially black victims...

  • Resources (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 08 March 2012
    Tony Arbour (AM): On the specific point which John raised with you relating to the legal cost, are you telling us that it is possible that Lord Blair, Lord Stevens and other former luminaries at the top of the Metropolitan Police Service, we have paid to give them legal advice before they have gone to Leveson?

  • Use of Statistics (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Angie Bray
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Thank you. Can I turn to another set of statistics which I know that quite a number of your officers are busy out today collecting across London? I myself saw a census point as I came to work and I know other colleagues have seen them as well. We are not due a national census for another two or three years as I understand it, so what is this census as a result of which so many of your officers are involved in pulling cars over this morning?

  • Transport Safer Neighbourhood Teams (2) (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    I am sure it is right to do that because, leaving aside the question of the overground railway simply because they work on the Tube and the buses. Clearly, we all know that after 10.00 pm is very often one of the times when people most want to see a visible uniformed presence. I am wondering, given this difficulty which I hope can be resolved, and given the fact we have had to go through this sort of negotiation, would it perhaps in retrospect have been better to advise the Mayor to put in the money for fully warranted officers...

  • Transport Safer Neighbourhood Teams (2) (Supplementary) [12]

    • Question by: Bob Neill
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Thank you very much. Can I come back to Lord Tope's questions about shift patterns and so on for PCSOs and in particular in relation to their work on the overground railway. You will remember that there was some discussion of this at the September MPA meeting and the particular concern I have is that at the moment of course y it involves PCSOs finishing at 10.00 pm. Tim Godwin (Assistant Commissioner) told the Police Authority on 28 September that if they worked after 10.00 pm in the evening, staff would be entitled to an increase in salary which was...

  • Management & Financing (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    There are pressures which you face immediately financially with a poorer and poorer settlement, and indeed the issues which are over the horizon - clearly the Olympic Games will be a major issue for the Metropolitan Police Service itself - current pressure on terrorism, and indeed the growing focus on clear up rates - how many crimes are resolved and result in a punishment - that continues to grind. We had the Home Secretary yesterday talking about the broad failure of the probation service and we know the impact that has on recidivism within the service. Are you resilient enough...

  • Management & Financing (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    The actual quote was `even a whelk stall has an accountant', and you did not.

  • Management & Financing (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Richard Barnes
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    Is the command structure of policing in London robust enough to meet the challenges of the next five years?
