Report of the Commissioner.

The Sub-Committee received a report of the Commissioner of Police which provided an overview of the City of London Police response to Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary’s (HMIC) continuing programme of inspections and published reports.

The Assistant Commissioner circulated an updated progress report on the outstanding HMIC recommendations.

During the discussion, reference was made to the following –

Members were informed that whilst the force had processes in place to record attendance on CAD, the Crime systems did not enable attendance to be confirmed.  Processes for checking attendance data was accurate were dependent upon the replacement of CAD and Crime systems expected in 2016 and integration between these systems. The replacement of CAD is a Metropolitan Police project.  Members would receive clarification regarding the progress of this action prior to the next meeting.

Members noted that Intelligence requests for open source and social media enquiries could be made through the Force Intelligence Bureau during working hours.  The new RIOs were commencing training and would be in post by January 2016.

Reference was made to specific custody reports regarding children and it was noted that a monthly management report was being setup to enable a review by the due date of February 2016.

The Assistant Commissioner agreed to circulate a briefing note to the Sub-Committee regarding the outcome of the Hot Debrief and it was noted that the Force had received an overall ‘Good’ rating on the appeal inspection – more details were available on the HMIC website.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
