Public confidence
The Government has set every police force a target to raise
public confidence. In the City of London, this proportion of people
surveyed agrees that the police and local council are dealing with
the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in their
area:
| Area |
Proportion |
| City of London |
65.8% |
This is the result of a face to face survey that was conducted
in the City of London.
The City has a resident population of less than 8,000, but
provides policing services to more than 300,000 workers, commuters
and visitors to the City. To obtain representative views from the
community it serves, City of London Police commissioned an
independent research company, Maven, to conduct street interviews
of workers, residents, students and others who regularly visit The
City.
Policing Pledge
Following recommendations arising from an inspection by Her
Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) and a public
consultation exercise, a revised, refreshed, City of London
Policing Pledge was launched on 26 April 2010.
The Pledge is a set of national standards outlining levels of
service the public who live, work or visit the City can expect from
their local police force. The previous Pledge statement has been
reduced from twelve points to ten points, bringing the City in line
with national standards, and the new Policing Pledge leaflet has
been jointly signed by Chairman of the Police Committee Simon
Duckworth and Commissioner Mike Bowron.
A publicity drive to promote greater awareness and understanding
of the Policing Pledge is currently under way, starting with an
internal communications campaign within the Force. This will be
followed up throughout May and June with PR and Marketing activity
to promote the Pledge among various City communities.
Further details are available on the Force’s
website.
