The Mayor is responsible for holding the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police (the Met) to account for policing in London and is the head of the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC). MOPAC supports the delivery of the Mayor’s Police and Crime Plan.
The Mayor and MOPAC have no operational powers in respect of policing, such as decisions about specific investigations or police staffing. These remain the responsibility of the Met Commissioner.
The London Assembly will hold a question and answer session tomorrow to discuss the development and delivery of the Mayor’s key policing and crime priorities. Questions may cover:
- The Mayor’s Police and Crime Plan 2021-25
- Crime trends in London
- Reducing and preventing violence
- Rebuilding trust and confidence in the Met
The guests are:
- Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London
- Cressida Dick DBE QPM, Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis
Following the discussion, London Assembly Members will debate these motions.
The meeting will take place on Thursday, 2 December 2021 from 10am, in the Chamber at City Hall (The Queen’s Walk, London SE1).
Media and members of the public are invited to attend.
The meeting can also be viewed LIVE or later via webcast or YouTube
