  • Policing In London (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Roger Evans
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2011
    We are looking at how the Metropolitan Police Service might evolve in the next couple of years and one of the key parts of this is using new technology to communicate with residents and with members of the public. It is very commendable that internet and text services are now being used to inform people of crime threats in their area and precautions they need to take. What steps is the Metropolitan Police Service going to take to ensure that vulnerable elderly residents who may not have access to text or internet can receive those messages as well?

  • Policing In London (Supplementary) [8]

    • Question by: Brian Coleman
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2011
    There may not be enough academics looking at police although there are enough ex-senior police officers out there I am sure looking for positions in one place or another. They keep popping up on the news giving us the benefit of their out of date views - ex-Commander O'Connor springs to mind. Anyway, Commissioner, will you continue to maintain robust policing against brothels in our suburban boroughs in particular, which is my concern and indeed in London, which often cause disturbance, nuisance and annoyance to neighbours, to women going about their legitimate business and so on.

  • Policing In London (Supplementary) [9]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2011
    The question is about what policing will look like in two years' time. I want to focus a little bit about what police officer strength will be in two years' time. I ask that because at the Police Authority we have been looking at a draft policing London business plan for the next three years and it shows in that the Metropolitan Police Service's plan, given the budget constraints and the budget gaps it has got to fill, is to reduce officer numbers down to just over 30,000, which is a substantial drop. All of us round the table want...

  • Policing In London (Supplementary) [10]

    • Question by: Richard Tracey
    • Meeting date: 07 December 2011
    Commissioner, I want to try to get from you some idea of how you see the style of policing in the next few years. The reports that have come out since August and the awful affairs in August have rather suggested that there is an attitude that policing has become a bit too much like social services. That has come out in the reports, various ones - I am sure you are conversant with all of them - and the various discussions on television. The assumption has then been made that the people who were committing the offences in August...

  • Public disorder incidents in London

    • Reference: 2011/0116-1
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2011
    Can I open this session by putting the question to both of you: what are the key learning points and the next steps arising from the recent public disorder incidents in London? Can I ask the Acting Commissioner to start?

  • Public disorder incidents in London (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Tony Arbour
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2011
    I would like initially to thank you, Commissioner, for ensuring that the borough commanders in my part of London were able to, by having a show of strength, prevent any trouble in any of the boroughs which I represent, and I thank him for that. The question I would like to ask is probably one for Kit. One of the few positive things which has come out of this has been the demonstration that it is possible to cut through the red tape which there habitually is in bringing people to justice. The rapidity, swiftness and certainty of punishment has...

  • Evidence based review of resource allocation

    • Reference: 2010/0109-1
    • Question by: Darren Johnson
    • Meeting date: 10 November 2010
    Given the historical growth of the Metropolitan Police budget and the expected reductions in government grant, are you undertaking a comprehensive review of the allocation of resources to all teams and departments, looking at the evidence of growth patterns, crime rates and performance statistics, to determine where reductions can be made?
