To consider the re-appointment of one of the Board’s External Members.

(Deputy James Michael Douglas Thomson)

2 July 2020

Appointment of Independent External Member

The constitution of the City of London Police Authority Board allowed for the recruitment of four external individuals (i.e. not Members of the Common Council) to the Board, through an open process. In August 2017, a selection panel recommended one candidate for appointment to the position – Andrew Lentin. Mr Lentin was subsequently appointed by the Court to the City of London Police Authority Board (then Police Committee) for a four-year term, commencing 21 September 2017.

As the expiry of that first term approached and with the unanimous support of Members of the Police Authority Board, the Court’s approval was now sought for Mr Lentin’s re-appointment.

The Court was now recommended to approve the re-appointment of Andrew Lentin to the City of London Police Authority Board for a four-year term, commencing on 21 September 2021.

Resolved – That Andrew Lentin be re-appointed to the City of London Police Authority Board for a four-year term, commencing on 21 September 2021.
