Section 6: Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime to issue police and crime plans
72.Section 6 replicates the provisions in section 5 for the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime.
73.Subsections (10) to (12) have the effect of applying various provisions of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 concerned with the Mayor’s strategies to the police and crime plan, as if it was a strategy.
74.Subsection (13) requires the Mayor and the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime to co-operate in ensuring that the Mayor’s strategies and the police and crime plan are consistent with each other. Although the Mayor will be the occupant of the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, this provision ensures that he takes account of the interests of both offices in preparing the strategies and the plan.
