Report of the Commissioner.

The Committee received a report of the Commissioner regarding the Review of the Baroness Casey Misconduct in the Metropolitan Police Service Interim review of  recommendations for the City of London Police.

In response to a Member’s query Officers provided a detailed breakdown numbers of misconduct cases explaining that, given the low numbers within the City of London Police, the percentage changes were, somewhat, misleading. It was added that numbers of reported cases demonstrated that staff were now more comfortable reporting misconduct. Responding to this Members suggested that actual numbers be provided alongside a percentages and noted the numbers of reported cases was evidence of an improved reporting culture but did not necessarily prove that there was an  increase in instances of misconduct.

Following a Member’s query Officers explained the mechanism for anonymous reporting.

Officers explained the next steps to be taken regarding this work with staff due to be hired specifically to coordinate the work going forward.

RESOLVED- That the report be noted.
