I understand that the Met Police is set to deploy permanent live facial recognition cameras on street furniture in Croydon from summer 2025. This would mean a significant change in the use of this type of technology which previously has only been used on a temporary basis. What community engagement has taken place to warrant such a decision in an area where the Black population is much higher than the London average? If this decision is implemented, will you put up permanent warning signage that facial recognition technology is in operation, similar to signs at temporary deployments?

A raid at the Westminster Quaker Meeting House on 27 March 2025 left many Quaker members in shock. During the forceful entry into the building, the door was damaged. I understand that a Quaker Elder was present in the building at the time and could have opened the door, which would have avoided damage to the building. Do you consider the raid on a Quaker building, a pacifist organisation, necessary to what was achieved? Will you offer to pay for the damages to the premises of the Westminster Quaker Meeting House?

A BBC report showed that the last time the Government published figures on police officers in neighbourhood roles (July 2024), the figure stood at 13,424. But after a data validation exercise, the amended figure was actually only 10,664 police officers in neighbourhood roles in England and Wales. When the Met Police performed this data validation exercise as per the request from the Government, what was the result and what does this mean for the number of neighbourhood police officers across London?
