Joint Report of the Town Clerk and Commissioner of the City of London Police.

Members received a joint report of the Town Clerk and Commissioner regarding references and the following points were made:

1/2020/P - 2 March 2020 Item 5 Integrity Dashboard and Code of Ethics Update

Case studies arising from London Police Challenge Forum Meetings to be circulated to Committee. CoLP have recently held an internal only challenge

panel – the results of which will be published on intranet soon – this will be circulated/highlighted to Members when available.

IN PROGRESS – Results from the internal only challenge panel will be provided to the November PSI within the ISB and ethics update.

2/2020/P – 2 March 2020 Item 5 Integrity Dashboard and Code of Ethics Update

Committee to be advised when next Victim Satisfaction Survey will be conducted (Feb 2021 update) Whilst a Report had been submitted recently to the Police’s Performance Management Group, the number of responses this quarter – 14, had been significantly lower than the longer term quarterly average; therefore, it would be difficult to glean as great an insight as usual. The Chair asked officers to submit a (hopefully) fuller quarterly Report for the next meeting of the Committee in May.

May update - Officers informed Members that the most recent quarter’s data had not yet been published – full data would be made available for next the meeting of the Committee in September.

COMPLETED - Members agreed to close the action. The Victim Satisfaction results get routinely reported to the SPPC as part of the quarterly performance reporting and the Force would wish to avoid duplicate reporting.

10/2020/P – 14 September 2020 Questions – External Scrutiny

IASG Members to meet PS&I Members in 2021. The Police Authority Team would be following up on this and would liaise with the Chair post-meeting. Members asked that any meeting would ideally take place before the summer recess.

COMPLETED – Members agreed to close this action. The Police Authority Team is organising quarterly informal meetings for Chair of PSI and Chair of IASG to meet and discuss mutual activity.

13/2020/P – 26 November 2020 Item 8 Use of Algorithms and AI across the City of London Police

A Member proposed that a separate session on Data Ethics, which outlined some of the concerns and potential risks that would likely emerge as the technology matured would be useful. Officers would set up a session in 2021. At least two members of the Committee had specialist knowledge in this area which it would be good to utilise. May Update - First AI/Data Ethics session took place in late April. Members asked officers to set up a repeat session for new Members of the Committee (and for any other Members who missed the April session) to take place, ideally, before the summer recess. Officers would circulate the presentation papers in the interim.

COMPLETED – Members agreed to close this action. A session took place in April 2021 at which only 4 Members attended. Instead of setting up a repeat session it was agreed with the PA Team that the presentation would be circulated to all members instead.

15/2020/P – 26 November 2020 Item 11 IOPC Investigation into Stop and Search at the Metropolitan Police

The Chair welcomed the offer from an officer to provide a training session for Members concerning Stop and Search; it was envisaged that this would take place in the New Year. The Chair would work with officers in the Force and Town Clerks to confirm a time convenient to the Committee.

May 2021 update - Members requested that the Training Session take place before the summer recess.

COMPLETED – Members agreed to close this action. Three Briefing sessions have been set up for Members during September 2021.

2/2021/P – 6 May 2021 Item 5 Stop and Search and Use of Force Update Summary - End of Year 2020-21

The Chair asked officers to see if they could capture and present the figures for individuals who had been routinely stopped and searched (with a negative outcome). Officers responded that they would take this away and report back to the next meeting of the Committee; they pointed out that whilst able to compare the internal CoLP records, the Force did not have access to the figures held by the Metropolitan Police, so a true picture for those being routinely stopped and searched by all Police forces may not always be completely accurate.

COMPLETED – Members agreed to close this action. An explanation on this

point has been covered in the Stop and Search report on the (September) agenda.

3/2021/P – 6 May 2021 Item 6 Equality and Inclusion Highlight Report

Noting the usefulness of the Inclusive Employers Report, the Chair requested that a summary of the Report’s findings is brought back to the Committee for its next meeting.

COMPLETED – Members agreed to close this action. A summary was included in the E&I item on the (September) agenda.

4/2021/P – 6 May 2021 Item 7 Integrity and Code of Ethics Update

The Chair requested that officers include the updated Integrity Standard Board (ISB) Dashboard for information at the next meeting of the Committee. This will reflect the data presented to the next meeting of the ISB on 9th June.

IN PROGRESS: Unfortunately, the ISB meeting was cancelled and no ISB meeting has taken place in the last reporting period. This will be reported to the November PSI Committee.
