- The Civil Liberties Panel was introduced in Met Forward, the MPA's mission statement for London’s police, as a means of securing public confidence in policing tactics in the capital and ensuring the Met maintains public trust:
‘Our duty, as London’s police authority, is to ensure the Met restores and maintains public trust. In order to support this, we will establish a Civil Liberties Panel of Authority members that will begin its work with a formal civil liberties scrutiny of the Met’s public order policing of violent disorder. Once the initial scrutiny is complete, the panel will continue both to monitor the situation and hear specific concerns from the public and human rights organisations.’ www.mpa.gov.uk/publications/metforward
