Deputy Mayor of London for Policing and Crime
The Deputy Mayor of London for Policing and Crime (DMPC) is head of the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime, part of the Greater London Authority. The current office holder is Kaya Comer-Schwartz. Outside of powers to issue a Police and Crime Plan, and to appoint and remove senior Met officers, the role of Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime in London is similar to that of an elected police and crime commissioner elsewhere. Kit Malthouse was the first Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime, taking on this role at the abolition of the Metropolitan Police Authority.[1] On the re-election of Boris Johnson he was replaced by Stephen Greenhalgh.[2] The current incumbent is Kaya Comer-Schwartz, who was confirmed as replacing Sophie Linden on 23 October 2024.[3] List of deputy mayors for policing and crime
