Review of Cancelled Speeding Tickets

In response to a question, the Commissioner agreed to circulate a briefing note to Members regarding the cancellation of speeding tickets within the City of London Police Force Area, following a recent report on the issue on the financial website This is Money on 8 May 2019. The Assistant Commissioner noted that the Force had to date included emergency response vehicles using their lights in overall statistics for speeding, but that this practice would be discontinued going forward.

Predictive Policing / Home Office National Data Analytics Solution

In response to a question prompted by recent concerns raised by the West Midlands Police Ethics Committee on that Force’s involvement in the Home Office National Data Analytics Solution, the Detective Chief Superintendent agreed to provide a reply to the Committee outside of the meeting. The Assistant Commissioner noted that the Force, at present, relied on the use of historic data rather than predictive solutions, and that appropriate consultation would take place before such an approach was adopted by the Force. Finally, the Assistant Commissioner confirmed that the Force had been involved in discussions around the potential for a Facial Recognition trial.
