The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, which sets the Met Police’s budget, said formats are likely to include “CSV, ANPR data, drone data, Zipcar records, Uber ride data, Uber Eats delivery data” and more.
It would “cleanse raw communications data, including radio frequency data, and transform it into standardised, usable format suitable for intelligence analysis”.
Uber’s website says it would pass on details of any crimes to police but does not specifically refer to ride data.
A counter-terrorist police spokesman said: “Analysing digital data is a vital part of our work and we continually look to assess and improve the tools we have available to help keep the public safe.”.
Information from firms such as Uber Eats and Zipcar would be shared with cops across London as they combat terrorist threats, illegal immigration and organised crime gangs.
