Report of the City of London Police.

The Committee considered a report of the City of London Police regarding violent crime from licensed premises during the period ?

The Chairman drew attention to the graph analysis of violence in the City over a 12-month period as requested by Members at the last meeting to reflect trends. Members were advised that these figures were the overall crime figures and did not only cover licensed premises which presented a worse overall number.

It was noted that there was an increasing trend for violence (with and without injury) over the 12-month period but that this had been decreasing in the last three months. However, this did not include figures for the Christmas period which had not yet been finalised.      

In response to a query asking the Committee what figures were required in this report, the Chairman stated that quarterly figures on violent crime at licenced premises were needed. Whilst Members agreed it was interesting to see the overall crime figures, it was agreed that these were not relevant to the Committee. It was noted that the report was not provided in the correct format and the Town Clerk agreed to recirculate the new report templates to the relevant Officers.
