The date for the first meeting of the new London Policing Board –
a key part of a package of measures by the Mayor of London to
accelerate the root and branch reforms of the Met’s performance
and culture - has been announced.
The first meeting of the new Board will take place on (Tuesday)
26 September between 10am-1pm. Proceedings can be viewed online
via the Mayoral webcast page -https://webcasts.london.gov.uk/Mayoral.
Establishing a London Policing Board was a recommendation in
Baroness Louise Casey’s review of culture and standards in the
Met - which the Mayor requested, to increase the transparency and
accountability of the Met to all the diverse communities it
serves.
Londoners with diverse lived experiences and backgrounds and a
wide range of professional and personal skills are being
appointed to the Board and will be meeting to help drive forward
the changes and improvements needed to make London a safe city
for all. Board members will be officially confirmed and announced
on (Friday) 22 September.
This action is part of the Mayor’s commitment to turning the
recommendations of the Baroness Casey review into long-lasting
and meaningful change to improve the service the Met provides to
Londoners and foster a more open, fair and responsive culture
within the force.
