The City of London Police Superintendent Hector McKoy provided an update on Street Pastors, noting that they are trained volunteers from local churches who assist the public and Police during busy periods to reduce crime without discrimination. He added that wherever Street Pastors patrolled crime and anti-social behavior decreased. He concluded by asking the Group to approve the Street Pastors Scheme.
