Report of the Commissioner.

Members received a report of the Commissioner regarding an update on the HMICFRS Inspection, concerning vetting, misconduct, and misogyny in the police and City of London Police Counter Corruption and Vetting.

The Commissioner confirmed there was no risk of missing deadlines on areas listed for improvement.

The Chair of Professional Standards and Integrity Committee briefly highlighted the discussion had on this report at its recent meeting. He concurred with the Commissioner and was satisfied the deadlines would be met. A question was raised about how best to present this data via some form of dashboard. There was also a need to consider resourcing around vetting.

The Commissioner agreed that resourcing in vetting was a challenge, but the recent uplift in the Force had provided a greater understanding of the real demand. There were pressures within the National Agency Vetting that the City of London Police was not responsible for.

RESOLVED, that the update be noted.
