She also outlined some key City of London Police projects:
• Police Race Action Plan – aimed at improving outcomes for black people working within or interacting with policing.
• Violence against women and girls – remains at the forefront of policing locally and nationally.
• Safer City Program – delivering state of the art CCTV infrastructure to improve security, detect crime and keep people safe.
• Protect Duty – the NBCC is at the forefront of discussions with the Home Office around coordinating of police/private security liaison and the Community Safety Accreditation Scheme.
• New Fraud Strategy – working with the Home Office, this sets out additional resources, introduces a National Fraud Squad and promises the new fraud and cyber reporting and analysis service to replace Action Fraud.
Richard Riley, the Director of the City of London Police Authority, spoke about the role of crime prevention and community safety in the new Corporate Plan to cover 2025–30: “Ensuring that people are safe and feel safe is already a key component of the Corporation’s stated priority of building a flourishing society. It contributes to the priority of shaping outstanding environments, and is a pre- requisite of supporting a thriving economy. Our prosperity and security are mutually reinforcing.”

He also said: “The Police Authority team are clear of the need to collaborate and build effective relationships – inside the Corporation and outside, including with the community represented here – since that is the route to delivering on the objective of ensuring that people living in, working in and visiting this wonderful City are safe and feel safe.“
James Thomson, Chair of the City of London Police Authority and Patron of the City of London Crime Prevention Association, commended the CoLCPA for celebrating its milestone 20th anniversary and for the excellent work it does bringing together partners in the Square Mile to tackle crime and ensure that it remains safe.
He highlighted the City Police’s priorities – all underpinning the ambition for the City to remain the safest business district in the world and to continue to be the lead in tackling fraud and cyber.
He highlighted the work of the last 18 months of the Police Authority team campaigning for the inclusion of fraud in the Online Safety Bill and the failure to prevent fraud offence in the Economic Crime and Transparency Bill.
He noted the significant increase in police numbers as part of the Government’s uplift programme. He also noted the long-awaited renewal of the City Police’s accommodation with a new police headquarters; a new Courts Building for fraud and cyber; a new eastern base at Middlesex Street – subject to planning; and a new drive-on firearms range at Dagenham Dock.

The Cross-sector Safety and Security Communications (CSSC) North East & Yorkshire is a partnership between the public and private sectors in the seven counties of the North Eastern Region of England: Northumberland, Cleveland, County Durham, Humberside, North, South and West Yorkshire.
It is a two-way communications vehicle facilitating the information flow of important messages from key public services to local businesses within the region and enabling businesses to offer feedback to help shape the advice and guidance produced by public bodies in the future.
The key to this information conduit is the CSSC hub based at Kings Secure Technologies in West Yorkshire which operates as a dedicated point of contact between public and private sectors. CSSC North East & Yorkshire Hub is run by a Senior Management Board that oversees communications and an operational team that handles day-to- day activity and development.
The North East & Yorkshire region has support from key public and private sector partners, including police, councils, Environment Agency, Home Office and National Counter Terrorism Policing.
The recent newsletter of the North East & Yorkshire CSSC highlighted the work the group is undertaking, including promotion of ProtectUK and related counter terrorism training such as ACT Awareness E-learning.
