Report of the Commissioner of Police.

The Board received a report of the Commissioner on the Quarterly Equality and Inclusion Update.

In response to a Board Members query it was confirmed that there was a pipeline for cadets to progress toward a career in policing attracting a diverse pool of candidates.

The Board discussed reluctance of employees disclosing their sexuality in the City of London Police noting that this was an issue nationally and highlighting the importance of developing a suitable culture at the Force. A Member commented that it was important to effectively communicate to employees the reasons for seeking this information and how this information would be used.

RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
