In response to a question, the Commissioner noted that of 24 recently recruited officers, 8 of the 24 were from BAME background and 4 of the 24 were female. In response to a follow up question, the Commissioner replied that City of London Police Specials had increased to c. 80 officers, including Penny Lancaster. The Chairman requested an update on Specials at the July 2020 Board, to include potential specialist role deployments, and their recruitment and retention.
