- Violence
- Operation Midland
- Live facial recognition technology
The guests are:
- Sophie Linden, Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, MOPAC
- Sir Stephen House QPM, Deputy Commissioner, MPS
The meeting will take place on Wednesday, 4 September 2019 from 10.00am in the Chamber at City Hall (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).
