Mayor'S Office For Policing And Crime (Mopac)

The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 established a Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for each police force area across England and Wales. In London, the elected Mayor – Sadiq Khan - is the occupant of the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC). The Mayor in his MOPAC role has appointed a Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime (DMPC) - Sophie Linden - to whom he has delegated all functions that are not reserved to him - to issue a Police and Crime Plan, and functions in relation to the appointment and removal of senior MPS officers. To support the Mayor and DMPC to fulfil their responsibilities, MOPAC has a dedicated team including specialists in commissioning, finance, oversight, policy, professional standards, research and analysis, community engagement and auditing. Together, we work to deliver the Mayor’s Police and Crime Plan and make London a safe city for all.
