City of London Police estimate that 80 per cent of fraud and cybercrimes can be stopped by a better understanding of how to be aware of and protect against potential cyberattacks.

In my response to your Police and Crime Plan, published in March 2017, I suggested that your focus on local policing and visibility could be better supported if more police officers, particularly dedicated ward officers, were able to use bikes for travel around their area.

I was encouraged to read in your knife crime strategy, published in June 2017, that you will "produce a toolkit with information and advice on what to do in the aftermath of a knife crime, aimed to help front line workers such as teachers and doctors, faith groups and community groups to recognise the signs of trauma in family members and friends affected by a knife crime and to take the appropriate steps to support them." When will this toolkit be made available to Londoners?
