The Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime

Outside of powers to issue a Police and Crime Plan, and to appoint and remove senior Met officers, the role of Deputy Mayor for Policing & Crime (DMPC) in London is similar to that of an elected Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) elsewhere. The Mayor in his MOPAC role has appointed Kaya Comer-Schwartz as Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime (DMPC) for London, to whom he has delegated all functions that are not reserved to him. 

Kaya leads MOPAC and is accountable to the Mayor for:

• the delivery of the Police and Crime Plan
• for ensuring oversight of the police
• driving effective criminal justice and crime reduction services across London.
