  • Domestic Violence (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Graham Tope
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    I very much welcome the huge change in the Met's attitude to domestic violence over recent years. It is a complete turnaround and very welcome. I also welcome the answers we have had today. The report from the London Domestic Violence Forum stated amongst many other things that `Training for frontline officers in particular remains an urgent priority'. How is that being addressed?

  • Domestic Violence (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Jenny Jones
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    So it would be a disciplinary board and not a conviction?

  • Domestic Violence (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    I thank Jenny for putting this question on the agenda. I know of her involvement given that she was at the launch on 20 November of the Mayor's second annual report of the pan-London Domestic Violence Forum. There are a number of us who already know the answers that we have heard today. However, I think this is an opportunity for us to bring this matter into the public arena. So much has been achieved over the past two years. I think this is an area of achievement and great triumph for partnership working. As I did yesterday when I...

  • Domestic Violence (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    Clearly, this is not a London-only issue. One of the things the MPS does is lead the rest of the police service, as it has done, to get that ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers) position. Will you be giving your commitment to lead the rest of the service nationally to ensure this matter stays at the top of the policing agenda because they are the first point of call for people in distress?

  • Domestic Violence (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Elizabeth Howlett
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    At the MPA I have acknowledged the work that MPA members and the Met have done on this issue. Sitting as a Magistrate I certainly notice that there is a culture change in the police. Sir John, are you actually bringing the Magistracy on board as a whole? Because I have recently sat on quite a few of these cases and maybe one of my colleagues was not quite in agreement with my judgement. The most important thing you can do while the case is proceeding is to remove the offender from the home and that is the difficulty. Also...

  • Domestic Violence (Supplementary) [14]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    Obviously it appears that the one-stop shop approach is working. On 11 September last year the Government announced the launch of a 24-hour helpline with support from Comic Relief, for people to report domestic violence. Have the police or the Police Authority been involved with that initiative?

  • Paying for Local Policing (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Diana Johnson
    • Meeting date: 10 December 2003
    I would like to ask about the proposals to transfer serious crime out of the Met into a national police force and about the issues around recruitment and retention that might bring. What is your feeling about how Londoners might respond to feeling that they do not have a say in the policing of serious crime in their communities?
