Agenda item

Professional Standards

Alderman Alision Gowman reported that the Professional Standards department had really improved its performance and had cleared a number of long standing cases. The team was also very well respected.

The Sub-Committee currently saw every complaint although going forwards this would be more streamlined and the material would be anonymised.

Integrity

Integrity issues were dealt with by Strategic Development led by Stuart Phoenix team and a large of work had been undertaken on embedding the code of ethics. The CoL Police were also currently working with the Met Police to introduce ways of cross-challenging.

Alderman Gowman advised that she was aware of a concern that officers were being rushed to complete processes due to a lack of resources and that this would be looked into as part of reporting to the professional Standards Sub-Committee.
