Report of the Commissioner (copy attached).

The Committee received a report of the Commissioner of Police relative to the risk register for the City of London Police.

          Members expressed surprise and concern at the “High” likelihood ratings at SR04 and SR05, observing that the assessment was clearly incorrect, as if the likelihood for these things was indeed high then the Force would be in a very bad position – for instance, if the likelihood of a drop in staff morale was indeed high, then this would demand immediate action and significant attention would be being devoted to preventing this; accordingly, the ratings used must be incorrect. The Assistant Commissioner gave assurances that the Force would look again at the risk profile in line with Members’ comments to correct the register and would re-submit the report in September.

          RESOLVED:  That the Committee note the position of the risks listed within the register and their current assessment levels.
