Report of the Commissioner of Police.

The Committee received a report of the Commissioner presenting the draft revised Policing Plan 2017-20 for the City of London, informing the community, stakeholders and staff how the City area would be policed.

Members had considered and endorsed proposals regarding the updating of the plan for 2017 at a workshop on the 15^th December 2016.

The Committee was advised that high level financial information was included within the plan based on the current medium term financial plan, which had been reported separately. Any changes to this financial position would be updated for the final version of the plan prior to publication.

The Committee raised a number of questions including why the ‘4P’approach was only mentioned in the report and not the plan itself, the need to include more detailed information in the financial section on the increase to the Police Pre-cept and how it is being spent, the need to better synchronise the Mission statement with the plan, and also that the sources of the quoted data should be included.

A Member suggested that copies could be distributed to new Members after the elections as part of the induction process.

The Committee agreed that any further comments should be submitted by 31 Janaury 2017.

RESOLVED – That

a)            The Draft Policing Plan 2017-20 be approved as the Policing Plan for the City of London, subject to any additional amendments submitted by 31 January 2017;

b)            That the new measures be considered and approved by the Police Performance and Resources Sub Committee on the 23^rd  February 2017; and

c)            That the Town Clerk, in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, be authorised to approve the final version of the plan in time for is publication on the internet by 31st March 2017.
