Introduction to the LCRB

The London Crime Reduction Board (LCRB) was established in 2010 as a means of rationalising a plethora of pan-London partnership boards. Its underlying principle is to improve accountability between partners through the delivery of an agreed partnership strategic plan.

The LCRB meets quarterly and carries out a number of functions including:

• reviewing high-level intelligence on crime and public concerns about safety and agreeing pan-London policing and crime priorities
• establishing shared priorities for pan-London approaches, where these can demonstrably add value to the work of local partnership activity
• providing a consultative link with central government departments on crime strategy development
• identifying and resolving barriers to delivering a co-ordinated approach to the crime and disorder agenda within London

The LCRB's Terms of Reference are available to download below.
