Agenda item

Report of the Chief Superintendent, City of London Police.

The Committee considered a report of the Chief Superintendent providing Members with a breakdown of the spending of the Late Night Levy from the City of London Police.

Members were advised that there were two items still to be approved: Training for Venues (Sexual Harassment in the Night Time Economy) and Stop the Bleed kits. Members were pleased that funds had been committed to a CCTV van.

With regards to presentation of the accounts, Members found the three columns confusing and agreed that it was not necessary to provide the levy and account year figures. Officers agreed that only the levy year would be provided going forward.

A Members noted that the costs for the SOS Bus were significant and queried whether this was good value. Members were informed that the SOS Bus currently only operated on Thursday nights and saved a significant amount of time for Officers, especially when dealing with drunk people. It was noted that the City Police were investigating the possibility of having their own permanent bus.
