  • Transparency in the Metropolitan Police Service (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Yes, thank you, Chair. I have a couple of questions for the Commissioner and for the Mayor. It is moving away; it is still on transparency but it is moving away from the topic raised by my colleague. Roger Evans AM (Chair): Not too far. Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Deputy Chair): Not too far but it is just to do with transparency. My question is in terms of transparency, in terms of what the MPS says and what the MPS does. I think that is really a good link. I want to ask the Commissioner in terms of what the...

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Joanne McCartney
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    My first set of questions are actually for the Commissioner, if I may, and I have some for the Mayor following that. Thank you for the comments about the Autumn Statement and the difficulties financially that the police are going to have in the future. A couple of weeks ago the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime talked about drastic and dangerous police cuts which will have to happen.

  • Meeting London’s Current and Future Policing Needs (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 09 December 2014
    Thank you, Chair. Good afternoon, Commissioner. Good afternoon, Mayor. Commissioner, can I just talk to you about police response times? I can see from the tables which MOPAC has provided to us that the emergency response times of the police across London for the past two years have slipped in the wrong direction, particularly for Category S, which is the ‘respond in one hour’, and Category E, which is the ‘respond to within 48 hours’. Second and third priority response times have gotten worse. I notice this particularly because it has affected my own borough; Southwark have lost 5% of...

  • Limitations of CCTV

    • Reference: 2007/0109-1
    • Question by: Murad Qureshi
    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007
    A joint report by the Home Office and police found that more than 80% of CCTV pictures are of such poor quality they are no good for police purposes, and most cameras are in the wrong places to help in fighting serious crime or terrorism. * Is the purpose of CCTV cameras, to tackle low-level, high-volume crime and disorder in town centres, being undermined by a lack of quality? * The report also claimed that authorities have no idea how many cameras exist despite claims that Britain is the most watched nation in the world, with more than 4m in...

  • Violent Crime: Lambeth and Southwark

    • Reference: 2007/0116-1
    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross
    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007
    Lambeth and Southwark are unique in South London during 2006/7 for both showing an increase in violent crime in the statistics for the two Borough Police Commands. Why is the case? Do you believe that these units need additional police resources?

    Do you think that there will be a reduction in the violence and intimidation on the streets and estates of south London this year because of multi agency working to combat the abuse and misuse of Fireworks?

    • Question by: Valerie Shawcross

    • Meeting date: 07 November 2007
