Statement: Response to complaint against MPA Chief Executive

23 July 2009

“A complaint against MPA Chief Executive Catherine Crawford has been received and formally recorded by the Authority’s Complaints Officer.
“All complaints made against members of staff are taken seriously and the Authority has a formal process to deal with them. As this complaint is against the MPA Chief Executive an independent investigating officer has been appointed.
“As this is an ongoing internal staff matter it is not appropriate to comment further. However, the MPA retains full confidence in its Chief Executive Catherine Crawford and will not be commenting publicly in detail on the complaint.
“The MPA is not a racist organisation. We take our legal and moral responsibilities seriously and are proud of our diversity as an organisation, which we believe is a major strength in our work generally and in promoting diversity in the Metropolitan Police in particular. The Authority follows a code of conduct that embraces the best tenets of employment best practice for all of our staff.”
