Report of the Commissioner of Police.

The Sub-Committee received a report of the Commissioner that provided Members with an update on the Code of Ethics and Integrity Dashboard.

The Town Clerk provided Members with an update on the current status of the LPCF.  It was explained that it would be split into 3 or 4 national groups of which CoLP would be part of the London/South East region of the forum and that there had been positive progress in engaging other regions, regardless of limited progress locally.

The Committee discussed the Integrity Standards Dashboard.  The Chairman illustrated their concern that if there were no areas highlighted then it was possible that the focus of measurements needed to be changed.  The Assistant Commissioner explained that it would be possible to adjust the narrative to make it more apparent that nothing was being missed and assured Members that this was the case.

The Chairman noted that the due dates for some measures were stated as March 2018 and suggested that these areas might need further focus.  She asked that this be fed back to the Head of Strategic Development who had given his apologies, and that the dates be checked. (OR)

In reference to measure 2.6, relating to integrity/ethics considerations in recruitment, the Assistant Commissioner explained that the changes referenced in the report represented the final stages of work achieved to ensure that professional ethics are maintained in recruitment.

RESOLVED – That the report be received.
