Nickie had a productive meeting with Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner, Sir Stephen House, and senior officers from the Public Order Team to discuss the plan looking ahead to policing protests.
This summer, we have seen more protests than ever, which culminated with Extinction Rebellion bringing parts of our Two Cities to a standstill for hours on end.
Nickie supports the right to peaceful protest, but sadly the type of protests increasingly experienced means the police have to rely on their helicopter to source intelligence on protester activity.
In the update, Nickie was assured by the Met it is progressing with drone technology, and she hopes to have good news soon.
