Police and Crime Committee
The Committee examines the work of the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), which oversees the Metropolitan Police. It also investigates key issues about the police service including serious violence, frontline policing, and counter-terrorism.
Every month, the Committee publicly questions senior representatives from the Metropolitan Police and MOPAC – including the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, and the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, Kaya Comer-Schwartz.
The Police and Crime Committee is investigating the experience of young Londoners of neighbourhood policing.
The Police and Crime Committee is holding a one-off meeting on the Metropolitan Police (the Met) Territorial Support Group (TSG).
