Dear Ms. Warner

I write in connection with your request for information which was received
by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). Firstly, may I apologise for the
delay to this response. I note you seek access to the following
information:

2. LGBT Hate Crime 
 3.
Race Hate Crime 
4. Religious Hate Crime Please provide figures for each
London borough, between the years 2012-2017 on : - The amount of hate
crime flagged offences for each subsection - The number of people

DECISION

Searches were conducted within the MPS which located information relevant
to your request. I have decided to provide you with a full disclosure in
this case.

DISCLOSURE

The MPS is committed to tackling hate crime in all its forms. We have
worked hard over the past ten years to use our organisational learning to
inform our current policies, staff training and operating procedures. We
have recently formed a special hate crime senior partnership group which
has a focus on creating and delivering an effective hate crime operational
strategy for London. This is being developed in partnership with strategic
and community partners, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to reducing
the harm caused by hate crime and increase the confidence of victims.

We take positive action to investigate all hate crime, support victims,
bring perpetrators to justice and encourage all victims and witnesses to
come forward. We are always seeking ways to increase reporting and work
with a number of third party reporting sites, so that victims who would
otherwise feel unable to approach police direct can report  crime to
non-police organisations and individuals.

Please find attached to this response the information you have requested.

I hope you find the information provided in this response useful. Should
you have any further enquiries concerning this response, please email at
[email address], quoting the reference number above.
