Report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath.

The Committee received a report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath regarding the work of the Hampstead Heath Constabulary for 2013.  The Superintendent noted the importance of the partnerships between the Constabulary, the Metropolitan Police, Terrence Higgins Trust and the Dogs Trust. The Superintendent also reported that a procedure review of the Constabulary’s access to the Metropolitan Police Airwave Communication System was complete and a new revised protocol agreement was waiting to be signed by the Metropolitan Police.

A Member asked for clarification as to why there had been a significant increase in the number of Byelaw 32 offences (Public Decency and Propriety) between 2009 and 2013.  The Superintendent responded that he was not able to answer, but would email the Member in due course with an explanation for the rise in offenses.
