  • Mobile Fingerprint Scanners

    • Reference: 2013/4102
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 20 November 2013
    Are there plans to roll out MobileID across the whole of London so that all Boroughs have their own stock of devices? If so, when is this planned?
  • Section 23 Stop and Search (follow up from question 2987/2013)

    • Reference: 2013/3597
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 23 October 2013
    The report I referred to in my question submitted for September's MQT is 'The Numbers in Black and White: Ethnic disparities in the Policing and Prosecution of Drug Offences in England and Wales' (published by Release, August 2013). A white person in Hackney caught in possession of cocaine as a result of being stopped and searched is charged only 20% of the time, while a black person is charged 67% of the time. The report reveals this is the case; why do you believe this is so?
  • Question: MPS Recruitment

    • Reference: 2013/3605
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 23 October 2013
    The £800-£1000 cost of the Certificate in Knowledge of Policing (CKP) which the MPS now requires recruits to complete before they can start as a new police constable will reduce the number of applicants from lower-income households. Making the MPS's workforce more reflective of London as a whole is a major priority, which will be adversely affected by this charge. What are you doing to provide financial support to those people from lower-income households who want to complete the CKP?
  • Woodberry Down and Safer Neighbourhood Team structures

    • Reference: 2013/3608
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 23 October 2013
    Following a Local Government Boundary Commission review, from 2014 local government boundaries will be re-drawn in parts of Hackney. One of the new wards will be Woodberry Down. Can the ward's residents expect their own Safer Neighbourhood Team and, if not, what kind of community policing are they likely to receive?
  • Section 23 Stop and Search 1

    • Reference: 2013/2987
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 11 September 2013
    Why is it that, during your time as the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime, a white person in Hackney caught in possession of cocaine as a result of being stopped and searched is charged only 20% of the time, while a black person is charged 67% of the time?
  • 23 Stop and Search 2

    • Reference: 2013/2988
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 11 September 2013
    The disproportionate effect of stop and search powers on ethnic minorities has reared its ugly head once again during your time as the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime. When can we expect this to be resolved? And what steps are you taking to ensure stop and search powers are used proportionately, fairly and with due respect to the people being stopped.
  • Advanced Stop Zones

    • Reference: 2013/2989
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 11 September 2013
    The recent two-week enforcement of Advanced Stop Lines (ASLs) by the MPS was welcome to improve safety for cyclists in the areas where it took place. How and when will this law be enforced as standard across the whole of London?
  • MPS 10-day recording target

    • Reference: 2013/2990
    • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
    • Meeting date: 11 September 2013
    The proportion of complaints that meet the requirements set out in legislation for recording a complaint that are recorded within the 10-day target has fallen from 84% to 62% between April 2011 and March 2013 (source: IPCC). Why is this? And what is the Mayor doing to ensure that this is addressed?
  • Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)

    • Reference: 2013/2995

    • Meeting date: 11 September 2013
    Following the Police and Crime Committee's five-point plan to help fulfil your manifesto promise to make London safer for women, what proposals will you implement to make London safer for women in London?
