    In her review, Baroness Casey said that austerity and underfunding had ‘severely eroded frontline policing.’ What have you done in the year since the Casey Review to ensure that the Met is properly funded?

  • Met Police Enhanced Retention Scheme

    • Reference: 2024/0852
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 15 March 2024
    I understand that last year, the Met created the ‘Enhanced Retention Scheme’ which would allow officers who would have ordinarily retired, to then re-join the Police after retirement. This was so they could retain officers in specialist posts, so that experience and skills were not lost whilst struggling to recruit new officers and retain officers with less service. This scheme now seems to have closed. Given that the Met Police Service has been ‘haemorrhaging’ officers in the last few years, why was this scheme closed so quickly?

    From Tuesday 13 February, the Gangs Violence Matrix (GVM) will no longer exist and the Met will use the Violence Harm Assessment (VHA) to identify and risk assess the most harmful individuals who are involved in violence in London. How does the methodology of the VHA differ from the GVM?

    • Meeting date: 15 March 2024
    As the Violence Harm Assessment (VHA) has come into effect, how are you reviewing its effectiveness, and if indeed it tackles the over-representation of young black males that we saw in the Gangs Violence Matrix (GVM) which was used previously?
