Report of the Commissioner of Police.

The Committee received a report of the Commissioner which provided an update on Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity (EDI) work within City of London Police.

A member noted that men and junior officers in frontline roles appeared to be less engaged with the relevant training programmes. The Member suggested introducing consequences for missed mandatory training sessions and implementing regular monitoring of quarterly training statistics.

Members discussed potential barriers to training completion, including shift patterns and issues with inaccurate reporting of training data.

The Chair emphasised the importance of developing a performance framework for the EDI Strategy to ensure a clear understanding of the impact and outcomes being sought. The Chair agreed to be part of a follow up discussion about expectations in terms of measurement and reporting.

Officers agreed that it would be helpful to have clarity on the specific requirements of the Committee.

RESOLVED, that the report be noted.
