Well it is not in one way, because obviously they are sort of doing the same things for themselves already. Can you give me some assurance that they will still get their full allocation of Step Change officers regardless of the fact that they may have already taken on some extra officers at their own expense through their own arrangements?

You know that I represent Kensington and Chelsea, which is already in an agreement with the Met. I think they have already taken on their first 45 PCSOs.

I wonder what measures have been taken or are being taken to ensure that local boroughs and the local borough police are fully aware of the Step Change programme so it can be taken into account when they are planning their own community safety strategy?

One of the most interesting initiatives over the past couple of years has been the introduction of a number of cycle patrols by police officers. What role do you think they have to play in the Step Change programme and what sort of increase have you seen so far?
