Report of Action Taken under Delegated Authority or Urgency Procedures

Report of the Town Clerk.

Minutes:

The Committee received a report of the Town Clerk which advised Members of action taken by the Town Clerk under delegated authority or urgency, since the last meeting of the Committee, in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, in accordance with Standing Order Nos. 41(a) and (b).

 

The decision taken was to approve, under the Business Travel Scheme, the Chairman’s travel to New York to attend the Financial Crimes and Cybersecurity Symposium on 16 and 17 November 2016.

 

The Chairman provided Members with information of the work undertaken as part of the visit. He explained that the visit had been extremely beneficial to himself and to the Commissioner in consolidating and strengthening relationships with colleagues in other Police forces around the world. The Chairman explained that the visit had demonstrated to him that the City of London Police was extremely highly regarded by other Police forces.

 

The Chairman of the Policy and Resources Committee explained that he had been in New York at the same time as the Chairman of the Police Committee and suggested that, in future, it would be beneficial to seek to integrate international visits such as this to maximise the benefits.

 

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
