Information This report is in the process of development and will ultimately reflect all the performance indicators contained in Tayside Police Performance Framework (Appendix A).

BACKGROUND DELIVERING LOCAL POLICING Building public confidence and trust is how Tayside Police aims to improve satisfaction with the quality of service provided to its communities. This is achieved through the effective delivery of policing services which meet the needs of local communities. It is about ease of access to services, giving the public a voice in order to influence how the force responds to issues that matter to them, delivering appropriate and robust interventions, working with partners, providing feedback to the public and keeping them informed of progress and improvement. The force uses performance indicators to gather information about performance, quality of service and public perception. These are illustrated below. Those marked with a tick also contribute to the following: The Scottish Policing Performance Framework â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Scotland Performsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; - the National Government Framework (Single Outcome Agreements) The Force Control Strategy

SUPPORTING DELIVERY

orporate support forms an important role in ensuring that appropriate resources are in place to deliver an efficient and effective service to the public.

The challenging economic climate means that robust monitoring and reporting processes are instrumental in ensuring that the force is on track to deliver its objectives within the resources available. At the same time, the Scottish Government has set stretching environmental and energy reduction targets for Scotland. As a major employer in Tayside, Tayside Police is committed to demonstrating its contribution to this aim.

INTRODUCTION

HE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS within Tayside Police Performance Framework are derived from detailed policing plans and business plans prepared for 2011, outlining what the operational divisions and supporting departments intend to deliver in support of the priorities set out in Tayside Policing Plan 2011-2014. These form the basis for this performance report. The community priorities of ‘Public Safety’ and ‘Public Reassurance’ underpin the force policing plan for the next three years. The indicators under ‘Public Safety’ and ‘Public Reassurance’ arise from the force control strategy and divisional plans. The areas that have been identified as a potential threat to Tayside communities include antisocial behaviour, public protection, serious and organised crime, terrorism, roads policing/safety and firearms. The extent to which alcohol and drugs are a key influencing factor is built into analysis of results.

Analysis of data and context with respect to the performance indicators, combined with the output from public consultation, provides an indication of the extent to which the force is succeeding in contributing to improved community outcomes.

CONTEXT INDICATORS are not measures of performance per se; rather they provide additional background information in relation to the demands placed upon the force and the environment in which it operates.

WHAT THESE WILL TELL US ABOUT PERFORMANCE Tayside Police Key Performance Indicators help the force define and measure progress toward the achievement of standards of service and force objectives. Monitoring results over the longer term allows the force to see where sustained improvement is developing, or to identify challenges which require to be addressed.

CONSULTING, ENGAGING AND LISTENING Public consultation and feedback runs as a thread throughout the performance framework and provides the information that lets the force know whether it is doing things right. ‘Customers’ include our staff.

BENCHMARKS Where information is available, Tayside Police performance is shown in relation to the most recent results from other forces or partner agencies.

GUIDANCE INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

aselines for improvement adopt the methodology used in previous years, incorporating the most recent three years average performance.

The following broad rules are applied to control charts to highlight causal factors other than random variations operating within the recorded data: •

For some KPIs an adjusted improvement target was agreed rather than the straight three-year average. This takes account of developing trends or patterns over the last 36 months and adjusts the target up or down accordingly. Improvement Targets are agreed annually through a process of consultation with divisional commanders and heads of departments. These are ratified through the force Performance Committee chaired by the Deputy Chief Constable.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Results are colour-coded against the following criteria: On or above target Below target

Control charts are shown for reported crime. These are monitored on a monthly basis. The charts set 'controls' described as Upper Control Limits (UCL) and Lower Control Limits (LCL). Applying statistical formulae to historical data defines the control limits. These are currently set at 2 standard deviations from the mean (average) for the years 2008/09 to 2010/11. This means that results lying outwith these limits should be regarded as significant and would benefit from further investigation as to whether the outcome was the result of a known causal factor as opposed to random fluctuation.

• •

any point that lies outside the UCL or LCL six or more consecutive points running upwards or downwards seven or more consecutive points zigzagging above or below the mean.

PERFORMANCE REPORTING Where performance is adhering to the ‘norm’, i.e. remaining within upper and lower control limits, minimal reporting takes place. Areas of concern or exceptional performance, lying outside the upper or lower control limits, is commented upon. In addition, areas of police business not contained within the key performance indicators (such as fleet, health and safety, staff development) are reported on with a view to producing a balanced view of organisational activity. This promotes the diverse range of services that support operational policing. PUBLICATION OF PERFORMANCE RESULTS This document is published monthly on the force web-site in accordance with the statutory requirement under Section 13 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 2003 which covers public performance reporting in relation to the publication of performance information and evidence of continuous improvement. An abbreviated ‘Performance Scorecard’ is published by the seventh working day of each month on the force web site.

Summary of results: Apr 2011– January 2012 1.

nise their community officer either by name, sight or both. • 67.2% of service users agreed that officers understood the issues that mattered in their neighbourhoods and 58.8% felt that officers were dealing with such matters. Overall, 66.3% of respondents had confidence in the police in their neighbourhood. • Taking everything into account, 69.9% of service users thought that community officers were doing a ‘good’ or ‘very good’ job in their area.

STANDARDS OF SERVICE

Two out of four customer satisfaction targets were achieved for the period April to January 2012 and both in relation to first contact. Overall satisfaction at first contact evidenced a significant 3.1 percentage point improvement compared to the same period the previous year rising from 91.0% to 94.1% and exceeded the 2011/12 target by 2.6 percentage points. The percentage of respondents who were provided with the name of the person dealing with their enquiry rose 3.3 percentage points from 81.4% to 84.7%, which well exceeded the target set at 80.0% for this indicator.

CRIME

Performance in relation to crime groups : An upward trend continued in relation to the service user receiving an update on the progress of their enquiry rising 1.0 percentage point to 61.4%, albeit this result still fell short of the target set at 65.0%.

• Violent crime (Group 1) - a decrease of 4.7%

(22 crimes) • Crimes of indecency (Group 2) - an increase

of 9.9% (33 crimes) • Crimes of dishonesty (Group 3) - a reduction

Satisfaction with the overall service provided by Tayside Police failed to achieve the target of 85.0% but returned an improvement of 0.9 percentage points compared to the commensurate figure the previous year, rising from 82.2% to 83.1%.

of 17.3% (1649 crimes) • Malicious mischief, vandalism etc (Group 4)

- a reduction of 22.7% (1109 crimes) (Data was sourced directly from Apex crime reporting system on 3 January and may differ slightly to other published results due to some reclassification of crimes and any additional ‘no crime’ status being applied in the intervening period.)

A community policing section has been included in the Service Satisfaction survey since the beginning of October and the following paragraphs summarise the findings. Caution should be exercised when interpreting the results at this stage due to the sample size (n=400). It should be noted that these questions have also been replicated in the Public Perception survey with the results reported later in this section of the document.

The force achieved 6 out of 10 crime-related targets. This included an overall reduction in Groups 1-4 crime of 18%. Other improvements included a reduction in domestic housebreaking of over 28.3% (216 crimes) and vandalism of 22.6% (1027 crimes). Improvements in detection rates included Groups 1-4 from 45.6% recorded last year to 46.7%, robbery from 67.5% to 68.7% and domestic housebreaking from 28.9% to 34.4%.

• 51.0% of service users thought that the current

level of police patrols in their neighbourhood was ‘about right’ for their community needs. Conversely, 48.7% felt it was ‘too little’ and a minimal 0.3% that it was ‘too much’. • The majority of respondents, 73.8%, felt reassured when they witnessed an officer on patrol in their neighbourhood. • Over half of the respondents confirmed that they knew nothing about the community officers who looked after their neighbourhood, 56.0%, whilst a further 22.1%, although unable to identify their local officer by sight or name, knew how to contact them should the need arise. 21.9% of residents were able to recog-

The detection rate for violent crime was (84%) marginally lower and for vandalism had fallen from 32.4% to 30.5%. Four crime areas did not meet target - violent crime recorded and the detection rates for violent crime, robbery and vandalism.

TELEPHONE RESPONSE

Between April 2011 and January 2012, the number of calls answered with 10 seconds failed to

achieve the national target figure of 90%. However, the results in recent months have rallied and the 87.1% recorded at the end of January was the highest result recorded since March 2011. 91.4% of calls had been answered within 10 seconds at the end of January last year.

In terms of prevalence of crime in local neighbourhoods, almost half of all respondents, 44.7% (45.3%) said that ‘antisocial behaviour’ was a common problem in their local area, followed by ‘vandalism/graffiti’, 36.4% (37.5%) and ‘dangerous/careless driving’, 33.5% (37.5%). This result indicates that opinions have remained the same between the two years with ‘antisocial behaviour’ deemed to be the most common issue affecting communities.

SICKNESS ABSENCE

The absence rate for police officers was 3.8% at the end of January and met the target of 4.0%. The police staff result at 4.1% was an improvement on the 4.6% recorded last year and also surpassed the target (4.5%).

37.9% (34.9%) of respondents confirmed that they were concerned at becoming a victim of crime in their area and when asked to comment on the issues which caused them most concern, ‘housebreaking’, 49.7% (41.9%), followed by ‘antisocial behaviour’, 44.4% (44.0%), were the major issues.

ROAD CASUALTIES

Between April and January seventeen fatalities (including one child) were recorded, 41% fewer than the 29 people killed during the same period last year. A further 166 people were seriously injured (154 last year), of which 19 were children. At the end of January, the total number of people killed or seriously injured (183) was exactly the same as at the end of January 2011. From April 2011, the force adopted the government’s Road Safety Framework Targets to the year 2020.

Feelings of safety walking alone in local neighbourhoods during the day evidenced a slight dip in confidence in 2011 compared to 2010 whereby 95.1% (95.7%) of residents felt safe. Conversely an improvement of 1.3 percentage points was recorded in relation to feelings of safety after dark rising from 61.3% to 62.6%. ‘Fear of crime’ prevented 4.9% of respondents from taking part in their everyday activities. This represents an increase of 1.2 percentage points compared to the 3.7% who provided the same response in 2010.

PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF CRIME

90.8% of respondents in Tayside perceived their neighbourhood to be a safe place to live. This indicates a minimal 0.2 percentage point improvement compared to the previous year when 90.6% of respondents were of the same opinion.

A ‘community policing’ section has been included in the Public Perception survey since the beginning of October and the following paragraphs summarise the findings. Caution should be exercised when interpreting the results due to the sample size (n=355). Results for the corresponding questions in the Service Satisfaction survey have been included in parenthesis for comparison purposes.

Whilst opinions remained static between 2011 and 2010 in relation to those who felt that crime levels had remained the same during the year - 59.0%, a 0.8 percentage point improvement was recorded for those who felt that crime had decreased rising from 12.4% to 13.2% and similarly, a 0.2 percentage point reduction in those who felt that crime had increased, falling from 28.0% to 27.8%.

• 43.8% (51.0%) of residents thought that the

current level of police patrols in their neighbourhood was ‘about right’ for their community needs. Conversely, 56.2% (48.7%) felt it was ‘too little’. • 64.3% (73.8%) of respondents felt reassured when they witnessed an officer on patrol in their neighbourhood. • Over three quarters of respondents confirmed that they knew nothing about the community officers who looked after their neighbourhood, 75.2% (56.0%), whilst a further 13.3% (22.1%), although not able to identify their local officer by

The main issues of concern to residents when asked unprompted was ‘antisocial behaviour’, 22.1% (21.0%), closely followed by ‘dangerous/ careless driving’, 20.8% (22.1%), and ‘drug dealing or drug abuse’, 13.4% (15.6%). This provides a similar representation of concerns as in the previous year with only ‘antisocial behaviour’ and ‘dangerous/careless driving’ changing position.

sight or name, knew how to contact them should the need arise. 11.5% (21.9%) of residents were able to recognise their community officer either by name, sight or both. • 53.1% (67.2%) of respondents agreed that officers understood the issues that mattered in their neighbourhoods and 46.2% (58.8%) felt that officers were dealing with such matters. Overall, almost two thirds of residents had confidence in the police in their neighbourhood, 59.0% (66.3%). • Taking everything into account, 56.8% (69.9%) of residents thought that community officers were doing a ‘good’ or ‘very good’ job in their area. It can be seen from the above information that service users (Service Satisfaction survey) appear to have a greater awareness, than members of the general public (Public Perception survey), of the community officers who look after their neighbourhood and also an increased confidence in the officers’ abilities to deal with the issues that matter to them in their communities. When asked to provide views on the force’s service delivery, first in terms of the importance of certain activities and then how well those activities are performed, the greatest disparity in opinion between importance and effectiveness related to police visibility. This suggests that ‘providing a visible presence’ is the main area of policing which the public perceive Tayside Police should focus on in going forward.

Efforts to improve performance in relation to updating the public was initiated through a reminder circulation to all Supervisors & Lead Constables to remind all officers of the force Standards of Service. Additionally, a dip-sampling process was initiated with the Station Sergeants sampling crime reports for subsequent contact with complainers to make an assessment. This process will continue on a monthly basis.”

Detection rate • Best detection rate across the Division for Groups 1-4 at 56.5%, a 4 percentage point improvement over last year. • Best detection rate across Division for crimes of dishonesty at 62.7%, an improvement of 4.5 percentage points when compared to last year

Inspector Graham Young said: "The most recent results for the section were very encouraging, particularly regarding crimes of dishonesty. Not only did we reduce the level of crime, we also achieved an increase in the detection rates. These improvements were attributable to high profile policing and concentrating our resources in the relevant areas.

had received an update on the progress of their enquiry from 68.9% recorded last year to 56.1% (last month 55.4%). • Decrease in overall customer satisfaction with the service provided by the police, from 86.2% recorded last year to 76.3%. Public Perception* • Improvement in the proportion of people who

thought crime in the neighbourhood had decreased or remained the same, from 61.6% recorded last year to 71.2%.

I acknowledge that there was an increase in violent crime. However, I have put measures in place to address this issue. These include dedicated operations and greater use of our mobile Close Circuit Television (CCTV) van.

Targeted Community Activity Sergeant Paul McCord said:

Improvements in the overall standards of service were evidenced and I would like to see this trend continue. I have recently introduced mobile surgeries, which provide the public with another means of communicating with my officers. These surgeries have proved to be a great success in the past and are an ideal opportunity for communities to share information and raise concerns.

"The 13.8% reduction in crime overall at the end of January this year meant that we had 262 fewer victims of crime in our community this year when compared to the same period in 2011. This was testimony to the positive engagement officers concentrated upon by providing focused and effective patrols in areas where they could make most difference. One area where we will be looking to continue this approach is Violent Crime where the statistics buck the trend and where we need to do better. We shall be targeting specific areas at key times, providing high visibility patrols and targeting individuals engaging in such activities, through pro-active stop and search tactics in order to disrupt them and with a view to decreasing such violent incidents in the area.

Public perception results reflected an increase in the number of people who felt that crime has improved in their area, however I am concerned at the drop in percentage of those who felt safe after dark in their relevant community. I would invite all members of the community to share their concerns by speaking directly to my staff through the many different contact methods available".

SECTION 3: DOWNFIELD AND HILLTOWN

We also listen to the needs of our community and an area where they continue to ask us to concentrate on is the irresponsible and reckless driving on our roads. As a result, we shall be carrying out a number of speed checks in the area with a view to educating and enforcing the local road users, and ultimately making the roads safer.

Main areas of public concern: dangerous/ careless driving and drug dealing/drug abuse Crime Overall reduction of 13.8% in Groups 1-4 crime (262 crimes). • Reduction of 24.3% in vandalism (158 crimes). • Reduction of 16.4% in domestic housebreaking (23 crimes). •

Overall, our officers performed very well and their efforts had a positive impact on reducing crime. However, we certainly need to improve on keeping our customers informed and we will endeavour to ensure that whenever a member of the public comes into contact with an officer they are provided the officer’s name and contact details and kept regularly updated on the progress of the enquiry or complaint."

SECTION 1 Forfar and Kirriemuir

POLICING ANGUS

Policing Angus: Community Summaries ~ April 2011 - January 2012 provements in most areas of public contact and service provision. It is, however, still work in progress to achieve all the targets. Increased use of conventional media, such as the local newspapers will hopefully be supplemented by the Community Officers’ use of social media beginning in April. In Forfar and Kirriemuir, the local papers run a Police Diary of our activities. I have spoken to the journalist involved with a view to improving our profile by publishing personal accounts of officers’ daily business to capitalise upon the interest in Police after the recent “Coppers” exposure of Tayside Police.

SECTION 1: FORFAR AND KIRRIEMUIR Main areas of public concern: dangerous/ careless driving and antisocial behaviour Crime • Overall reduction of 17.3% in Groups 1-4 crime (161crimes) • Biggest reduction in Division in crimes of dishonesty of 23.8% (142 crimes) Detection rate • Detection rate for overall crime down by 10.2 per-

Public perception has remained largely unchanged although of those surveyed there was an increase in people who thought that crime in their neighbourhood had gone up, the reality being that it has actually gone down. We will aim to improve communicating this positive message and every interaction with our communities will highlight this point. The Public Consultation form that Community Officers use at meetings, is used to present positive messages which highlight reductions in crime demonstrating that Angus remains a safe place in which to live, work in or visit.”

Public Perception* Improvement in the proportion of people who thought crime in the neighbourhood had improved or remained the same, from 68.1% recorded last year to 74.4% • Drop in the proportion of people feeling safe after dark, from 69.6% to 58.9%. • Increase in the proportion of people concerned about becoming a victim of crime , from 27% to 31.3%. •

SECTION 2: MONTROSE AND BRECHIN Main areas of public concern: dangerous/ careless driving and antisocial behaviour Crime Biggest reduction in division in Groups 1-4 crime (28.4%, 238 crimes). • Reduction in crimes of dishonesty of 22.5% (96 crimes. • Biggest reduction in division in vandalism of 37.3% (129 crimes). •

Targeted Community Activity Inspector Ally Robertson said: “Overall crime, particularly crimes of dishonesty, continues to fall month by month which is encouraging. There has been a slight increase in the number of break–ins to commercial premises but most were detected. Analysis indicated that one crime series was the responsibility of a known active criminal. The Section worked hard exploiting every opportunity to focus resources and attention in order to bring this individual to the attention of the courts. The community were informed through local media of these efforts and reassured.

Policing Angus: Community Summaries ~ April 2011 - January 2012 Public Perception* • Improvement in people feeling safe after dark, from 52.7% to 67.8%. • Reduction in the proportion of people who were concerned about becoming a victim of crime, from 33.3% to 20%, the best result across the Division.

Standards of Service • Best result across the Division, showing a further improvement in the proportion of people who stated they had received an update on the progress of their enquiry, increasing from 56.3% last year to 68.8%. • Improvement in overall satisfaction with the service provided by the police, rising from 82.1% recorded last year to 90.5%. Both results exceeding target.

Targeted Community Activitiy Inspector Mark McInally said: “The Section officers continue to commit to high profile activity and policing style with the dividend being the continued low crime results. The officers accept this style of policing as ‘the norm’ which is obviously benefiting the community in which they work. Vandalism detection is still an area that requires continued effort.

Public Perception* • Increased concern about becoming a victim of crime, rising from 47.2% recorded last year to 53.3%, with drug dealing and antisocial behaviour being the main concerns.

With respect to public feedback, the public continue to see a generally high standard of service being provided by the section officers. All officers are aware of the requirement to update all people reporting incidents to the police and are working hard to ensure that happens.

Sergeant Mike Herd said: “Overall crime in Arbroath continued to fall and once again we had the best detection rates across the Division. These results were, however, blighted by the marked increase in violent crime. Robust action is being taken in order to combat this, including carrying out proactive searches for weapons and drugs, greater supervision of licensed premises ensuring staff are aware of their responsibilities etc. as well as providing a highly visible presence to act as a deterrent for violent behaviour.

Targeted Community Activity

The local community continue to benefit from their local officers’ policing style. The officers are being reminded that engaging with the community is a priority and it should be undertaken at every opportunity.”

With respect to public feedback, the overall level of satisfaction in the service provided by our officers remained at a very high level. Unfortunately our ability to update the people who are reporting incidents to us is not nearly so high. Although the results in Arbroath are the best across the Division and evidenced continued improvement there is still room for an increase in these figures. Efforts will continue to make improvements in this area by ensuring that we are providing regular updates.

SECTION 3: ARBROATH Main areas of public concern: drug dealing/drug abuse and antisocial behaviour Crime • Overall reduction of 7.4% in Groups 1-4 crime (78 crimes). • Increase in violent crime, from 27 recorded last year to 45 for the current year to date. • Reduction in crimes of dishonesty of 16.7% (108 crimes).

Although Crime levels fell and detection rates increased it was disheartening that the people of Arbroath were not reassured by these figures and, in many cases, their view is that the opposite is true. As a consequence, every opportunity to engage with the public will be taken in order to heighten their awareness. Officers will also increase the number of high profile patrols so as to give a more visible presence which will, in turn, provide public reassurance particularly with regard to antisocial behaviour, drug dealing and abuse which are the main areas of concern for the residents of Arbroath.”

Detection rate • Best detection rate across the Division for Groups

1-4 at 49.7%. • Best detection rate across the Division for crimes

of dishonesty at 57%. • Best detection rate across the Division for housebreaking at 44.4%.

(* Results should be viewed in conjunction with sample size. Changes in results may appear inflated due to the small number of respondents involved.)

Policing Angus: Community Summaries ~ April 2011 - January 2012 Crimes of indecency have decreased almost 50% which is an excellent result and must make the public feel a lot safer.

SECTION 4: CARNOUSTIE Main areas of public concern: dangerous/ careless driving and antisocial behaviour

With respect to feedback from the public, there has been an improvement in the number of people receiving updates from officers regarding their crimes but this can still be improved as it is important in increasing the public perception in the area. We have also improved the public’s view in relation to the service we provide to the public from last month’s survey.

Crime • Only Section to show increase in Groups 1-4 crimes (7.2% - an improvement on the 7.7% recorded last month, 21 crimes). • Crimes of indecency decreased from 20 recorded last year to 11 for this year. • Increase in vandalism of 25% (30 crimes) but an improvement on 32.7% increase last month.

The public perception that Carnoustie and Monifieth are safe places to live is again the highest across the Division and we will carry out the good work to ensure this continues.

Detection rate Fall in detection rate for Groups 1-4, from 45.5% to 37.1%. • Best detection rate across Division for vandalism at 39.3%, an improvement of 9.3 percentage points over last year. •

The main problems highlighted that cause our neighbourhoods the most concern are dangerous driving, anti-social behaviour and housebreaking and action plans are in place to address these issues.”

Standards of Service • 5.3 percentage point improvement on the number of customers who received an update on their enquiry, from 62.9% last year to 68.2%, exceeding the divisional target of 65%. • Decrease in overall satisfaction with the service provided by the police, from 90.5% to 84.7% but an improvement on last month’s 81.4%.

COMMUNITY SAFETY Targeted Community Activity Inspector Kenny Hart said: “In general terms, lower levels of crime have been recorded in Angus and, in particular, in crimes of dishonesty. Although encouraged by this we seek to further support front line officers in areas of crime prevention and reduction, through advice or initiatives, as well as by direct intervention and assistance with issues such as antisocial behaviour and related crime. The Community Safety Unit will continue to examine trends and intelligence wholly to support operational staff but moreover to ensure that our communities are updated so as to impact positively on the public perception of crime. In addition, the effective deployment of the Community Impact Team provides sections with support to deal with crime that is affecting their area. The Team is highly versatile and available for deployment at times when they can have the greatest impact whether in uniform or covert.

Public Perception* • Best result across Division for people who thought crime in the neighbourhood had decreased or remained the same despite the fall from 89.2% last year to 78.2% this year. • Best result across Division for proportion of people feeling safe after dark, 78.5%. • Concern about becoming a victim of crime has increased from 20.5% recorded last year to 29.5%. Targeted Community Activity Inspector Fiona Jarrett said: “There was a improvement in the rate of increase in crimes of theft and dishonesties in the area but the detection rates for these crimes has fallen and all efforts will be made to address this issue. There was a slight increase in the amount of vandalisms in the area but our detection rates have greatly improved. This is due to extra community patrols and officers being more visible on the street.

Community Officers in Eastern Division have a range of abilities that assist their colleagues in terms of crime reduction by carrying out crime prevention reviews and making referrals to partners such as

which to live. It is also clear from the results shown under Standards of Service and Public Perception that the residents of Angus feel that they are living in a safer community. This is clearly a team effort and the people of Angus have played their part in reducing the number of victims of crime in the area. As the Detective Inspector in charge of the Public Protection Unit I am encouraged by these results and will continue to focus resources to further reduce crime and bring offenders before the courts.”

With respect to public feedback, we seek to ensure that our communities receive the highest standard of service they deserve as well as to ensure that they are kept fully updated. The ‘Repeat Caller’ initiative identifies individuals in Angus who have contacted the police on a number of occasions to report issues that cause them upset or concern. The initiative looks to ensure that these people receive the highest standard of service from local officers in terms of dealing with their issues appropriately or indeed signposting them to the correct agency.

DIVISIONAL SUPPORT Targeted Community Activity

The policing style in the division has greatly enhanced the local standards of service to our communities. Heightened police visibility and true engagement with the public bodes well for the force and will undoubtedly achieve our objectives in this area as well as reductions in crime and increased public confidence.

Inspector Peter McLennan said: “Crime linked with planned events in Angus remained low. As the Summer events season approaches we will continue to work with our partner agencies and event organisers to ensure we help in facilitating a safe and crime-free environment for everyone attending each event.

I have been delighted to see that public perception of the force has improved in recent months. The Community Safety Unit will continue to ensure that through use of our Public Consultation form local communities are updated with local trends and positive messages. Community Officers in Eastern Division will continue to play their part in this important area by engaging with local communities and key individuals to identify local areas of concern and to impact positively thereafter so as to ensure that local perception is confident in the services we provide.”

Events provide an excellent opportunity to engage with our communities and visitors to Angus. Officers take every opportunity to facilitate the enjoyment of the public at the events while minimising disruption to those living in or travelling through the area.

PUBLIC PROTECTION UNIT

We adopt a high profile policing style encouraging officers to be as approachable as possible. The results of this are reflected by the positive way in which officers are received by the public. Community Officers are utilised whenever possible at events within their area so the public get to know their local officers and the officers are in a position to know their community.”

Targeted Community Activity

ROADS POLICING UNIT

Inspector Ally Waghorn said: “Performance in relation to Group 1 to 4 crimes showed a reduction in our detection rate when compared to the same time last year. Whilst I am disappointed with this performance, I am pleased by the overall reduction in reported crime. This clearly shows clear evidence that our current strategy is working and we are making Angus a safer place in

Targeted Community Activity Sergeant Craig McBean said: “The Roads Policing Unit (RPU) continued to impact on road safety/casualty reduction by ensuring that mobile phone, seat belt and speeding offences were given a high priority.

(* Results should be viewed in conjunction with sample size. Changes in results may appear inflated due to the small number of respondents involved.)

Policing Angus: Community Summaries ~ April 2011 - January 2012 The Division actively participated in all National Initiatives/Days of Action as well as conducting high profile Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) activity involving not only RPU officers but also Divisional officers and outside agencies. Officers throughout Angus continue to maximise the use of Anti-Social behaviour (ASBO) legislation to deal with offenders who use their vehicles in an appropriate and anti-social manner. This resulted in numerous warnings and seizures of vehicles thus reducing the anti-social use of our roads and having a positive impact upon the communities of Angus. Angus Roads Policing Division will continue in the same vein in the coming months participating in National campaigns relating to speeding and inappropriate driving and carrying out local initiatives.

POLICING PERTH & KINROSS

Policing Perth & Kinross: Community Summaries ~ April - January 2012 points and an almost 11 percentage point reduction in those concerned about becoming a victim of crime.

SECTION 3: PERTH CITY Main areas of public concern: antisocial behaviour and drug dealing/drug abuse

The success of these activities will continue and be developed to include new issues should they emerge.”

Crime • Reduction in Groups 1-4 crime (4.5%, 90 crimes). • Reduction of 8.3% in vandalism (41 crimes).

SECTION 5: EAST PERTHSHIRE Detection rate • Best detection rate across the Division for Groups 1-4 at 55.4%. • Best detection rate across the division for crimes of dishonesty at 60.3%.

Main areas of public concern: dangerous/ careless driving and antisocial behaviour Crime • Reduction of 5.2% in Groups 1-4 crime (31 crimes) • Reduction in violent crime, 26 recorded last year, down to 15. • No robberies recorded since the beginning of the year.

Standards of Service • Substantial improvement in overall customer satisfaction from 77.3% to 87% - 2 percentage points above the divisional target. Public Perception* An 11.4 percentage point improvement in people feeling safe after dark, from 45.4% to 56.8%. • Marked reduction in people concerned about becoming a victim of crime, from 42.3% to 31.7%.

Detection rate Continues to hold the best detection rate across the Division for vandalism at 40.1%. • Best detection rate across the Division for domestic housebreaking at 40.9%.

•

Targeted Community Activity Standards of Service • Above divisional target with respect to updating the public on the progress of their enquiry, 68.8% against a target of 65%, despite being lower than at the same time last year (72.5%)

Inspector Martin said: “A 4.5% decrease in crimes in the Groups 1-4 category coupled with an increase of 2.2 percentage points in the detection rate to 55.4%, highlights the dedication of officers and staff working towards a safer city in Perth. Perth City staff worked very hard to achieve the best detection rates in two crime categories.

Public Perception* • A reduction in the number of people who thought the crime rate in their neighbourhood had remained the same or improved over the past year from 80.8% to 76.9%, but still the highest result in the division. • A substantial increase in the proportion of people who were concerned about becoming a victim of crime, from 20.5% to 34.1%.

A pro-active approach to anti-social behaviour with special patrols targeting underage drinkers has clearly had an impact on those who may have been involved in anti-social behaviour. This approach has resulted in a drop of 8.3% in the number of reported vandalisms and an increase in the detection rate by 2.4 percentage points.

Targeted Community Activity Citizens of Perth city have noted their overall satisfaction as being 87% an improvement of 9.7 percentage points and best in division. The holding of ‘Street briefings’ and use of Social Media to assuage the potential fears of members of the public following a number of high profile incidents has assisted in giving an improvement in the percentage of people feeling safe after dark of over 11 percentage

Inspector Wayne Morrison said: “In East Perthshire, which covers Blairgowrie and Glenshee, Coupar Angus, Alyth and the Carse of Gowrie, crimes in Groups 1 to 4 have reduced by 5.2%. Notably there were no robberies reported over the preceding months and an overall reduction of over 42% in violent crime.

(* Results should be viewed in conjunction with sample size. Changes in results may appear inflated due to the small number of respondents involved.)

Policing Perth & Kinross: Community Summaries ~ April - January 2012 In terms of anti-social behaviour and crime, the hands-on pro-active approach has ensured the section retained the division’s best detection rate for Vandalisms. Other activity such as youth alcohol patrols and close partnership working with Community Wardens ensures the situation continues to improve.”

improved detection rates throughout the Section. Intervention by Sergeants to ensure victims of crime receive regular updates has resulted in the Section maintaining and improving upon our Standards of Service. Briefings highlight our aim to get it right first time and continuous improvement. The media are widely used in South Section to highlight our partnership working and 'good news' events. Street briefings in our communities along with social media have helped get our key messages across. We will continue take a pro-active approach to crime in the section and maintain the success of the past months.”

SECTION 6: SOUTH PERTHSHIRE Main areas of public concern: antisocial behaviour and dangerous/careless driving Crime • Reduction of 4.8% in Groups 1-4 crime (34 crimes). • Reduction of 25.7% in vandalism (47 crimes). • Increase in domestic housebreaking, up from 21 recorded last year to 30 for the current year.

Targeted Community Activity Inspector Iain Ward said: “The entire Section has played an active part in recent focussed activity such as ‘After Dark’ and ‘Homesafe’. Diversion activities such as 'Street Sports for All' have been widely utilised to great effect resulting in a reduction in antisocial behaviour and associated vandalisms.

Public Perception* • Best result across the Division with respect to the proportion of people who were concerned about becoming a victim of crime, 10.8%, a further improvement on the 11.8% recorded last month.

Targeted Community Activity

(* Results should be viewed in conjunction with sample size. Changes in results may appear inflated due to the small number of respondents involved.)

Policing Perth & Kinross: Community Summaries ~ April - January 2012 Inspector Maggie Pettigrew said: “Our officers and staff in the North and West Perthshire area continue to work hard for the community achieving the best results across the division for Crime reduction in three areas including dishonesty and vandalism. Combining this with an improvement in the detection rate for vandalism of 6.5 percentage points shows the impact a community based policing strategy can have on an area in reducing antisocial behaviour and its consequences. Our officers and staff’s service to the public is confirmed in the survey results which show almost 76% of those asked thought crimes rates had improved or remained the same. The proportion of those people in the section surveyed who were concerned about becoming a victim of crime had also reduced from 16.1% at the end of January 2011 to 10.8% this year. North and West Perthshire officers will continue to pro-actively patrol the section and support the Community Policing model to get it right first time and every time.”

CRIME MANAGEMENT Inspector Dave Adamson said: “The excellent results published here are testament to the hard work carried out by all staff involved in policing Perth and Kinross. These can only be achieved by staff working closely with victims of crime, specialist departments, outside agencies and partners to carry out thorough investigations of crime. Regular review of crimes allows for analysis which is then used to direct investigation in the appropriate direction and pro-actively direct officers to patrol in areas where crime or anti-social behaviour has become an issue. In pro-actively targeting issues antisocial behaviour and crime can be reduced improving the feeling of safety for everyone. Perth and Kinross police officers and staff continue to use this tried and tested model in the community to great effect.”

DELIVERING LOCAL POLICING

uilding public confidence and trust is how Tayside Police aims to improve satisfaction with the quality of service provided to its communities. This is achieved through the effective delivery of policing services which meet the needs of local communities. It is about ease of access to services, giving the public a voice in order to influence how the force responds to issues that matter to them, delivering appropriate and robust interventions, working with partners, providing feedback to the public and keeping them informed of progress and improvement. The force uses performance indicators to gather information about performance, quality of service and public perception. These are illustrated below. Those marked with a tick also contribute to the following: The Scottish Policing Performance Framework ‘Scotland Performs’ - the National Government Framework (Single Outcome Agreements) The Force Control Strategy

SERVICE RESPONSE

PUBLIC PROTECTION Tayside Police uses its crime recording system to manage information gathered by operational police officers in respect of all facets of the Public Protection portfolio, including Domestic Abuse, Child Protection and Vulnerable Adult Protection. Where substantive crimes are being investigated, reports will have relevant markers added to them which allows officers and staff from support functions and specialist teams to search and identify relevant records. Where no substantive crimes are being investigated, the system allows officers to file CONCERN reports which, as the title suggests, allows officers to record any anxiety they have regarding a situation they have either attended or witnessed during the course of their duties. These domestic, child and adult concern reports are, in due course, assessed by specialist departments and, where appropriate, information is shared with partner agencies under Information Sharing Protocols.

Domestic Abuse Tayside Police respond to many instances of a domestic nature throughout the course of a year. tic abuse incidents are recorded to ensure an appropriate response is initiated.

All domes-

By recording all incidents of domestic abuse, Tayside Police can, in the first instance, assess risk to those who are subjected to the abuse and the impact on any children involved. Secondly, they can put protective measures in place, and lastly, target repeat offenders. Domestic abuse is not a crime in itself and can be either one form of, or a combination of, non-criminal behaviour or criminal behaviour. Examples of non-criminal behaviour would be isolation, withholding money and psychological abuse etc which can have a substantial impact on a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and well-being and that of their children. Examples of criminal behaviour would be assaults, vandalism, threatening or abusive behaviour, fire-raising etc. When domestic abuse is reported to the police we will work in partnership with specialist agencies including Barnardos, Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aid and the Violence against Women partnerships to ensure that those at risk from abuse, and their families, are given appropriate support and advice which will enable them to make an informed decision about their future. In addition to working with our partners, when a crime has also been committed, Tayside Police will carry out a thorough investigation and, where there is a sufficiency of evidence, the perpetrator will be reported to the Procurator Fiscal. During the first four months of 2011/12 the number of Domestic Abuse incidents recorded each month was lower than the number recorded at the 2010-11 2011-12 same time last year. However this pattern Tayside ~ Dom estic Abuse Incidents was reversed during August and following 500 the summer months, the number of domes- 450 tic abuse incidents recorded each month 400 has been higher than last year. In the month 350 of January 2012 445 incidents were reported, 12% more than in the corresponding 300 month last year. Taking all months into 250 consideration, at the end of January the to- 200 tal of 3975 incidents was 3.5% higher than 150 the 3839 incidents reported at the end of 100 January 2011. 50

Perth & Kinross

Angus

Dundee 0

There were 850 crimes recorded throughout Tayside between April and the end of January 2012 where a child was recorded as the victim. However, this total does include crimes of theft where an item belonging to a child (most commonly a bicycle or a mobile phone) was stolen. The geographical distribution, per 10,000 population, is illustrated on the chart to the left with 25 such crimes in the Dundee area, 24 in Angus and 15 in Perth & Kinross.

Of great concern is the fact that in 12% of crimes against children (105) the offender was under the influence of alcohol, putting the child in question at risk. 31 such crimes were recorded in Dundee, 29 in Perth & Kinross whilst the total in Angus was 45. In 33 crimes across Tayside the child was also under the influence of alcohol. 12 crimes were recorded where the offender was under the influence of drugs and in 1 case the child had also been given drugs.

Child Concern Reports Throughout Tayside, between April and the end of December 2011 there were 7512 child concern reports recorded. This equated to 187 per 10,000 population. The table to the right shows the divisional distribution with 3809 recorded in Dundee, 1996 in Angus and 1707 in Perth & Kinross. The highest number recorded per 10,000 population was in Dundee at just over 264.

PUBLIC PROTECTION Registered Sex Offenders The list of Registered Sex Offenders is broken down into the number of those in the community and the number of those in custody. Registered Sex Offenders in the community are those who have either completed their prison sentence and have been released into the community or are serving their sentence within the community. These people required to be monitored as registered sex offenders. Registered Sex Offenders in custody are those Tayside who are currently serving their sentence for the Registered Sex Offenders crime they committed. The length of time people spend on the sex offenders register will depend on 400 the sentence they received. The number of sex offenders at risk of doing serious harm to another 350 16 individual (should they commit another crime) is also broken down into those at very high risk, high 300 risk, medium risk, low risk or not assessed. 250

The chart shows that there were 405 registered Sex Offenders in Tayside as at the end of January 2012. Of these, 342 were living in the community and were mainly assessed as medium (142) or low risk (140) of causing serious harm to another individual. There were however 40 people who were considered a high risk and a further 2 who were considered a very high risk, should they re-offend. A larger number of very high risk offenders were in custody (14). In addition, there were 13 high risk offenders, 15 medium risk and 4 low risk offenders also in custody.

Registered Sex Offence Liaison Officer (SOLO) DeploymentsA Sexual Offence Liaison Officer (SOLO) is an officer who liaises with the victim of a serious sexual crime, provides them with appropriate information and support throughout the investigation.

Sexual Prevention Orders A Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) is an order that is made by the court and designed to protect the public from serious sexual harm. SOPOs are intended to protect the public from the risks posed by sex offenders by placing restrictions, or obligations on the sex offender’s behaviour. 32 Full SOPOs were in force as at the end of January 2012.

Crimes of Indecency This crime group (referred to as Group 2) involves sexual offences. Some of these crimes have been committed prior to the current reporting period although all offences are recorded at the time they are reported. This can mean that some of the data reported each month could contain historical crimes. In addition, as evidence is discovered during investigations multiple crimes can be detected. As such, the level of crime recorded each month is variable. Between April 2011 and the end of January 2012, in Dundee, 186 crimes were recorded and a detection rate of 57% was achieved. In Angus 98 crimes were recorded together with a detection rate of 69.4% and 83 crimes were recorded in Perth and Kinross where the detection rate was 67.5%. The figures for the whole of Tayside were 367 crimes recorded and 62.7% detected.

Failure to notify police/provide false information It is a requirement of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 that a Sex Offender must provide to the police, and keep updated, various personal details including change of address and holiday arrangements, if these involve leaving the United Kingdom. Failure to do so results in the person being changed with the offence of ’Failure to notify the police or provide false information’. Between April 2011 and January 2012, 3 people were charged with this offence. 42

Tayside The chart to the left shows the number of crimes involved in the supplying of Class A drugs. This can be actual supply of drugs, possession with intent to supply drugs, importing or manufacturing of drugs, but does not include the charge of possession (for personal use) of drugs. There were 135 crimes recorded to date throughout Tayside, 6.9% fewer than at the same time last year. Geographically, Angus and Perth and Kinross recorded lower levels compared with last year, but there was an increase of 40.4% in the Dundee area.

This is a volatile area on which to report. In some months there may appear to be very little activity and then there may be a large number of crimes reported at the one time. The nature of this area of business often involves many months of preparation, surveillance and coTayside ~ Class A Drugs as a proportion of operation with other forces, perhaps leading to a successall Drugs Offences ful operation where several perpetrators are charged with numerous offences. The results are not a reflection on divisional performance as these arrests are often as a result of a headquarters drugs operation carried out in conjunction with the pertinent division and are recorded to reflect the geographical area in which the perpetrators were apprehended.

Class A 2011-12 46% All Other Classes 2011-12 54%

As can be seen from the pie chart to the right, just under half of all supplying etc of drugs crimes involve Class A drugs.

COUNTER TERRORISM UK Threat Levels The Home Office is responsible for announcing the UK threat level at any time and in advising the public when that level changes. There are five levels of threat: ♦

Critical ~ an attack is expected imminently

♦

Severe ~ an attack is likely

♦

Substantial ~ an attack is a strong possibility

♦

Moderate ~ an attack is possible but not likely

♦

Low ~ an attack is unlikely

On 11 July 2011 the Home Secretary announced that the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre had changed the threat level from international terrorism from severe to substantial. That means there is a strong possibility of a terrorist attack. The current level remains at SUBSTANTIAL.

Tayside In Tayside Police, Special Branch constantly review threat assessments. In addition, Counter Terrorist Security Advisors continue to raise the level of awareness about terrorist related matters within the Force and partner agencies. Between April and the end of January 2012, 74 Counter Terrorism briefings were delivered across Tayside and a total of 729 non-police personnel were in attendance.

The chart to the left illustrates that the level of crime each month this year has been much lower than the previous year. In recent months crime has fallen month-on-month and at the end of January the total of 12487 was 18% less that the 15234 crimes recorded at the end of January 2011. Historically, the level of crime has escalated in the last 3 months of the year and this was true in January when the number of crimes recorded did rise, although the total still remained below that recorded last year and followed the lower control limit closely.

Note: All projections are based on the previous 60 monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of data and take seasonal variations into consideration. These are calculated every three months and illustrated on the graphs by a red-ringed yellow circle. The table below, and the ones on the following crime category pages, show the monthly totals of crime for the year 2010-2011 and for the months which have elapsed in 2011-12. The total column compares the cumulative result at the end of the most recent month in 2011-12 with the commensurate result last year and the last column displays the percentage difference. The colour coding indicates where a cumulative result has achieved target (green) or not achieved target (red).

Although the number of crimes recorded has increased from December to January, this was expected following last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trend.

Policing Angus

Crime: For the first time this year the number of crimes approached the three year average in December but it dropped to the lower control limit again in January. Due to the consistent low levels of crime recorded this year the year end result is predicted to be 3205, well below the target of 3650.

Detection Rate: The detection rate in Angus has

been steadily falling since June 2011 and now sits at 44.3%. A further 127 detections would have needed to be made in order to meet target. Therefore it is unlikely that this target will be achieved at the year end.

2010-11 UCL (Av. +2SD) 3 Year Average

Policing Dundee Crime: Despite the number of crimes falling from August to December 2011, target was not achieved during those months because cumulatively, the results were too high. However, the benefit from the reduction during those four months is now being felt, despite there being a rise in the number of crimes recorded in January, the target has been achieved for second time this year. By extrapolating the monthly results so far, the year end result is expected to be 288 crimes recorded. This is 3 crimes above the target of 285. In order to achieve target, there must be fewer than 24 crimes (the monthly average) recorded in both February and March 2012.

Policing Tayside Robbery includes crimes of Robbery and Assault with intent to Rob. The rise in crime recorded in December continued into January when 13 crimes were recorded throughout the force, the second highest monthly total to date this year (15 crimes were recorded in September). However, this result was just below the 3 year average and not exceptional. In terms of proximity to end of year target, the 99 crimes recorded throughout the year to the end of January was 57 crimes below target and it is expected that target will comfortably be achieved.

The remit for Road Safety staff is wide-reaching and encompasses a variety of themes as prescribed in the Scottish Government Road Safety Framework to 2020 where specific casualty reduction targets for Scotland are laid out.

Supporting the NHS School Health Support Worker, the Angus Road Safety Officer has undertaken lunch time information sessions at two secondary schools utilising the brake reaction tester and “drive” whilst being distracted. This allowed the Road Safety Officer to lead the group in discussing stopping distances, in-car and bus safety as well as the danger of distracting drivers etc.

Road Safety Staff deliver Road Safety Education using national and local resources to communities across Tayside and far from dealing solely with educational establishments also undertake work with a variety of community groups, ethnic minority groups, seasonal workers and others who request assistance.

With almost every primary school in Angus participating in the national JRSO (Junior Road Safety Officer) scheme, the Road Safety Officer has been meeting with them at their own school in order to offer support and advice about their role.

The Road Safety Co-ordinator ensures that appropriate support is given to relevant local and national campaigns and initiatives.

Scottish Water Senior Safety Advisor invited the Perth & Kinross Road Safety Officer to deliver a presentation at their Annual Conference held for the first time at Perth Concert Hall.

Working with partners allows Road Safety Staff to disseminate pertinent Road Safety information to specific groups and there are very good long–term working relationships with NHS Tayside, Tayside Fire and Rescue and the constituent Local Authorities Social Work, Education and Roads and Transport departments.

The event was attended by over 200 delegates with the keynote speech being undertaken by Scottish Water General Manager for Health and Safety.

Update In Angus, the Road Safety Officer organised an event which was delivered to 90 apprentices at Angus Training Group based in Arbroath. This gave the pre and young drivers the opportunity to discover the responsibilities that go with gaining full driving licences.

Directors and Senior Managers were impressed by the presentation and it has been agreed by management that Road Safety will be included in all future Health and Safety seminars and conferences. Road Safety staff were invited to offer advice and information during the conference morning and lunch time breaks. The interactive resources set up for the audience to utilise at these times proved extremely popular.

With some of the apprentices already driving for their employer workshops included; driving for work, speeding, vehicle maintenance and modifications, consequences of a crash, drink / drug driving, occupational road risk and “Play Your Cars Right” game which explains the law surrounding learner drivers, licences and penalty points, the New Drivers Act, and Anti-social Behaviour Orders (ASBO).

The Road Safety Officer has developed a resource specifically designed to meet the needs of P7 pupils preparing for transition to secondary school. This resource has been titled “Moving On” and is being piloted at St John’s PS in Perth and Coupar Angus PS.

The event was enthusiastically received by both apprentices and lecturers. First stage evaluation has been undertaken by the Training Group. This will be followed by our own evaluation in around five weeks time.

The following graph illustrates clearly the reductions in days lost by Tayside Police Staff since the beginning of April 2011. The reductions in staff numbers began at the end of calendar year 2010 and the graph does illustrate the dramatic changes between April and October. From November onwards the results are, therefore, more comparable.

Mar

More than half the days lost (53%) were lost through 86 periods of long-term sickness absence (29 days or over), a further 29% were lost through 1045 periods of short-term sickness absence (under 7 days) and the remaining 18% was accounted for by 92 periods of medium-term absence of between 8 and 28 days.

Central Division: sickness absence rose from 3.5% at the end of January 2011 to 4.1% at the end of January this year, the highest since July 2011. This was accounted for by 560 days lost through sickness absence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an average of 7.7 days per member of staff. This result was within the target of 4.5%.

Central Division: lost 2732 days to the end of January, an average of 6 days per officer. This resulted in a sickness absence rate of 3.5% (within the 4% target) compared to 4% recorded at the same time last year.

Eastern Division: 572 days were lost through sickness absence which produced a below target (4.5%) result of 5.7% and averaged out at 10.8 days per member of staff. Target has not been achieved at all this year but the most recent result is the highest all year.

Eastern Division: lost 2414 days and the sickness absence rate was 5.3%. This result failed to achieve target (4.0%) despite improving month-onmonth since September (5.9%) and being 0.5 percentage points better than at the same time last year.

Western Division: only 2.8% of available working days were lost through sickness absence, a dramatic improvement on the 5.5% recorded at the same time last year. 313 days were lost, an average of 5.3 per member of staff.

Western Division: recorded a sickness absence rate of 4.3%, exactly the same as at the end of January 2011 and representative of an average of 7.5 days per officer. This result failed to achieve target (4.0%). However, improvements have been evidenced every month since May (5.5%) and the end of January result was only 0.3 percentage points

SPECIAL CONSTABLES Special Constables in Scotland can and are deployed to a wide range of police duties over and above standard ‘beat duties’. These include Road Policing, Specialist Response, and Community Support. Their primary focus, however remains to provide a highly visible police presence, and a link with local communities across Scotland.

Time Off In Lieu (TOIL) In line with Police Regulations, officers are compensated in respect of time spent on duty after normal tour ends or where they have been recalled to duty etc. These additional hours can be taken as payment or accrued as time off in lieu of payment. A record is kept of the number of TOIL hours accrued by officers.

Special Constables provide essential assistance to Police Officers throughout the Tayside area. There are currently 156 Special Constables in Tayside ~ 41 in Eastern division, 61 in Central division and 54 in Western division.

As at 3 February 2012, 39,620 TOIL hours had been accrued by police officers, 11,327 in Central Division, 9,761 in Eastern Division, 10,309 in Western Division and the remaining 8,223 in other areas of the force.

Between April and December 2011 Special Constables worked a total of 20974 hours.

TURNOVER RATES Despite all the current changes in policing in Scotland, Special Constables remain consistent in their dedication to the role.

Police Officers and Staff leave the force for a variety of reasons, one of which is retirement.

PERSONNEL RANDOM DRUG TESTING Random drug testing is regularly carried out on Police Officers and Police Staff in order to ensure that employees performance, and public safety, is not put at risk by the influence of drugs. A programme of testing both police officers and police staff is carried out.

This programme does not prvent staff reporting concerns about suspected illegal activity by colleagues, which is acted upon. Between April 2011 and the end of January 2012 108 such tests were carried out. No Police officers, or Police Staff tested positive for drugs. Source of Data: Professional Standards Dept.
