The Mayor and Met Commissioner face Assembly

The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 established a Police and Crime Commissioner for each police force area across England and Wales. In London, the elected Mayor is automatically the equivalent of the Police and Crime Commissioner; and is the occupant of the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC).

Led by the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime (DPMC), MOPAC must secure the maintenance of the Metropolitan Police Service (the Met) and ensure that it is efficient and effective. The Mayor must publish a police and crime plan within the financial year in which they are elected; the plan is therefore published in the first year of each Mayoral term.

Tomorrow, London Assembly Members will question the Mayor and the Met Commissioner about what steps are being taken to keep Londoners safe and to support the reform of the Metropolitan Police Service.

The guests are:

• Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London
• Sir Mark Rowley QPM, Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis

Following the discussion, London Assembly Members will debate these motions.

The meeting will take place on Thursday 7 November 2024 from 10am in the Chamber at City Hall, Kamal Chunchie Way, E16 1ZE.

Media and members of the public are invited to attend.

The meeting can also be viewed LIVE or later via webcast or YouTube.
