6. Please provide details of the amount of funding MOPAC provides to each London borough (and the City).

Please find this information attached.

Please note, MOPAC’s pan London funding picture is very complex, there are both routine funding pots and funding opportunities that are provided to boroughs. Boroughs are supported by MOPAC and the VRU through the London Crime Prevention Fund, which takes into account levels of crime and victimisation, alongside population density and other socio-economic indicators.

MOPAC also directly commissions services designed to match priorities set out in the Police and Crime Plan. Pan-London services are delivered on a demand-led basis, meeting presenting need, these are not necessarily borough bound. Where services are commissioned on an area-specific basis, this is determined by evidence of local need, including research produced and commissioned by MOPAC.

7. How much of that money is earmarked for the operation of Safer Neighbourhood Boards.

£700k is earmarked for the Safer Neighbourhood Boards.
