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– Feb 2012 1.

recognise their community officer either by name, sight or both. • ‘Local newspapers’ were the preferred medium for respondents to be kept informed about actions being taken by officers in their communities. • 65.2% of service users agreed that officers understood the issues that mattered in their neighbourhoods and 58.9% felt that officers were dealing with such matters. Overall, 64.9% of respondents had confidence in the police in their neighbourhood. • Taking everything into account, 69.1% 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 February 2012 and both in relation to first contact. Overall satisfaction at first contact evidenced a significant 3.0 percentage point improvement compared to the same period the previous year rising from 90.9% to 93.9% and exceeded the 2011/12 target by 2.4 percentage points. The proportion of respondents who were provided with the name of the person dealing with their enquiry rose 2.7 percentage points from 81.0% to 83.7%, which exceeded the target set at 80.0% for this indicator. An upward trend continued in relation to the service user receiving an update on the progress of their enquiry rising 0.7 percentage points to 61.4%, albeit this result still fell short of the target set at 65.0%.

CRIME

Performance in relation to overall crime groups : • Violent crime (Group 1) - a decrease of 7.4%

Satisfaction with the overall service provided by Tayside Police failed to achieve the target of 85.0% but returned an improvement of 0.4 percentage points compared to the commensurate figure the previous year, rising from 82.2% to 82.6%.

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

of 14.3% (53 crimes) • Crimes of dishonesty (Group 3) - a reduction

of 17% (1752 crimes) • Malicious mischief, vandalism etc (Group 4)

- a reduction of 23.8% (1277 crimes) Community Policing A new 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=508). It should be noted that these questions have also been replicated in the Public Perception survey with the results reported later in this document.

(Data was sourced directly from Apex crime reporting system on 1 March 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.)

The force achieved 9 out of 10 crime-related targets. At the end of January only 6 out of 10 had been achieved. The additional achievements were in relation to violent crime recorded and detected and the detection rate for robbery. (Page 10)

• 50.3% of service users thought that the current

level of police patrols in their neighbourhood was ‘about right’ for their community needs. Conversely, 49.0% felt it was ‘too little’ and a minimal 0.8% that it was ‘too much’. • The majority of respondents, 72.8%, felt reassured when they witnessed an officer on patrol in their neighbourhood. • Over half of the respondents confirmed that they did not know anything about the community officers who looked after their neighbourhood, 54.6%, whilst a further 22.6%, although unable to identify their local officer by sight or name, knew how to contact them should the need arise. 22.8% of residents were able to

Other improvements included a reduction in domestic housebreaking of over and vandalism. Improvements in detection rates included Groups 1-4 , robbery and domestic housebreaking . The detection rate for violent crime was marginally lower, despite achieving target. The result for vandalism had fallen from 31.8% to 30.3% and was the only area not to achieve target. A further 63 detections would have been required in order to achieve an on-target result of 32%.

ing or drug abuse’, 13.6% (16.0%). This provides a similar representation of concerns as in the previous year with only ‘antisocial behaviour’ and ‘dangerous/careless driving’ changing position.

TELEPHONE RESPONSE

Between April 2011 and February 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 87.4% recorded at the end of February was the highest result recorded since March 2011. 91.2% of calls had been answered within 10 seconds at the end of February last year.

In terms of prevalence of crime in local neighbourhoods, almost half of all respondents, 45.3% (44.9%) said that ‘antisocial behaviour’ was a common problem in their local area, followed by ‘vandalism/graffiti’, 36.4% (36.8%) and ‘dangerous/careless driving’, 33.5% (36.3%). This result indicates that opinions have remained the same between the two years with ‘antisocial behaviour’ deemed to the most common issue blighting communities.

SICKNESS ABSENCE

The absence rate for police officers was 3.8% at the end of February and met the target of 4.0%. The police staff result at 4.1% was an improvement on the 4.7% recorded last year and also achieved target (4.5%).

37.1% (36.2%) 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 concern, ‘housebreaking’, 48.7% (42.2%), followed by ‘antisocial behaviour’, 45.4% (43.3%), were the major issues of concern.

ROAD CASUALTIES

Between April and February 17 fatalities including one child were recorded, over 45% fewer than the 31 people killed during the same period last year. A further 180 people were seriously injured (163 last year), of which 21 were children.

Feelings of safety walking alone in local neighbourhoods both during the day and after dark evidenced an increase in confidence in 2011 compared to 2010 whereby 95.4% (95.3%) of the public felt safe during the day and 62.6% (60.9%) felt safe after dark.

The total number of people killed or seriously injured (197) was 3 more than last year’s result. From April 2011, the force adopted the government’s Road Safety Framework Targets to the year 2020.

A fear of crime prevented 4.7% of respondents from taking part in their everyday activities. This represents an increase of 1.0 percentage point 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 0.3 percentage point improvement compared to the previous year when 90.5% of respondents were of the same opinion.

Community Policing The questions in this section are replicated in the service satisfaction survey. As before, caution should be exercised when interpreting the results due to the sample size (n=443). 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 - 58.2%, a 0.6 percentage point improvement was recorded for those who felt that crime had decreased rising from 12.2% to 12.8% and similarly, a 0.4 percentage point reduction in those who felt that crime had increased, falling from 28.5% to 28.1%.

• 46.0% (50.3%) of residents thought that the

current level of police patrols in their neighbourhood was ‘about right’ for their community needs. Conversely, 53.7% (49.0%) felt it was ‘too little’. • 67.5% (72.8%) of respondents felt reassured when they witnessed an officer on patrol in their neighbourhood. • Almost three quarters of respondents confirmed

The main issues of concern to residents when asked unprompted was ‘antisocial behaviour’, 21.9% (20.1%), closely followed by ‘dangerous/ careless driving’, 20.5% (21.8%), and ‘drug deal-

that they did not know anything about the community officers who looked after their neighbourhood, 73.7% (54.6%), whilst a further 13.6% (22.6%), although not able to identify their local officer by sight or name, knew how to contact them should the need arise. 12.7% (22.8%) of residents were able to recognise their community officer either by name, sight or both. • Similar to the results for the Service Satisfaction survey, ‘local newspapers’ were deemed the preferred medium for respondents to be kept informed about actions being taken by officers in their communities. • 54.6% (65.2%) of respondents agreed that officers understood the issues that mattered in their neighbourhoods and 47.3% (58.9%) felt that officers were dealing with such matters. Overall, almost two thirds of residents had confidence in the police in their neighbourhood, 58.3% (64.9%). • Taking everything into account, 58.2% (69.1%) 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 randomly selected 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 were 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 improve going forward.

breaking, robbery and vandalism were very pleasing. The positive, professional approach taken by community and beat officers, in conjunction with partnership working, played a vital part in this and resulted in fewer victims of crime. As well as crime rates reducing significantly, focused activity and thorough crime investigation resulted in a noticeable increase in detection rates.

AND

Main areas of public concern: dangerous/ careless driving and housebreaking Crime • Reduction of 30.9% in Groups 1-4 crime (856 crimes) • Reduction in crimes of violence of 22% (18 fewer victims). • Robbery down by 42.4% - 14 fewer crimes • Biggest reduction in Division in vandalism of 46.9% (307 crimes) • Biggest reduction in Division in domestic housebreaking of 60.5% (72 crimes).

Performance also improved in relation to overall satisfaction with service at first point of contact and for updating the public on the progress of their enquiry. All Section supervisors should be proud of this progress which has been achieved through their focused activity and the introduction of a dip sampling process. Public perception results reflected increased community well-being and more members of the community stated that they felt safer after dark. However, results showed that around half of the population are still concerned about becoming a victim of crime in the City Centre and Maryfield areas and this is where we will concentrate our efforts.

Detection rate • Best detection rate across the Division for Groups 1-4 at 57.5%, a 6.4 percentage point improvement over last year • Best detection rate across Division for crimes of dishonesty at 63.3%, an improvement of 4.8 percentage points when compared to last year

Overall, the Section officers performed to a high standard and their endeavours had a positive impact on reducing and detecting crime in the Section."

Standards of Service • Slight improvement in proportion of people who stated they had received an update on the progress of their enquiry from 62.5% recorded last year to 62.7% and still the highest result recorded across the Division but 2 percentage points below the force target of 65%. • Best result across the Division with an improvement in overall satisfaction with the service provided by the police at 85% - this met the target exactly.

SECTION 2: LOCHEE AND RYEHILL Main areas of public concern: drug dealing/drug abuse and housebreaking Crime • Overall reduction of 18.7% in Groups 1-4 crime (406 crimes) • Increase of 40% in crimes of indecency from 30 recorded last year up to 42 • Reduction of 17.2% in crimes of dishonesty (241 crimes) • Reduction of 28.2% in vandalism (178 crimes) • Reduction of 30.2% in domestic housebreaking (39 crimes).

Public Perception* • Improvement in the proportion of people who thought crime in the neighbourhood had improved or remained the same, from 60.6% recorded last year to 74.2%. • Similar positive results with respect to people feeling safe after dark rising from 38.7% last year to 48.7% for the current equivalent period. • 59% of residents were concerned at becoming a victim of crime. This had reduced to 55% at the end of February this year.

Detection rate Improvement in overall detection rate from 40.3% to 43.1% • Improvement in detection rate for violent crime from 71.7% to 87.3% ~ best divisional result. •

Targeted Community Activity Inspector Steve Main said: "The latest performance figures for the Section, particularly significant reductions in domestic house-

Policing Dundee: Community Summaries ~ April - February 2012 Standards of Service • An improvement from 86.9% to 93.1% for the satisfaction rating for service provided at first contact. This result exceeded the divisional target of 91.5% • A slight fall in the overall satisfaction rating from 80.9% to 79.7%

through the many different contact methods available

SECTION 3: DOWNFIELD AND HILLTOWN Main areas of public concern: dangerous/ careless driving and drug dealing/drug abuse

Public Perception* • A further improvement of 15.8 percentage points in the proportion of people who thought crime in the neighbourhood had improved or remained the same, from 54.1% recorded last year to 69.9% (67.9% last month) • Drop in the proportion of people feeling safe after dark, from 49.1% to 39.4% (39.1% last month) • Similar scenario with respect to concern about becoming a victim of crime, increasing from 52.5% to 57.1%. However, this was an improvement on last month’s result of 61.4%.

Crime • Overall reduction of 15.2% in Groups 1-4 crime (310 crimes) • Reduction of 11.5% in crimes of dishonesty (136 crimes) • Reduction of 26.6% in vandalism (185 crimes) • Reduction of 15.8% in domestic housebreaking (24 crimes). Detection rate • Highest detection rate in division for robbery at 76.5% • Highest detection rate in division for vandalism at 35.4% • 4.7 percentage point fall in the detection rate for domestic housebreaking from 33.6% last year to 28.9%.

Targeted Community Activity Sergeant David Small said: There were some very encouraging results, particularly with regard to crimes of dishonesty. Not only did we reduce the level of crime, we also achieved an increase in the detection rate, which was down to high profile policing and concentrating our resources in the relevant areas.

Standards of Service • Increase in proportion of people who were satis-

fied with the service provided at first contact from 86.9% to 89.2% • Decrease in proportion of people who stated they had received an update on the progress of their enquiry from 69.9% recorded last year to 55.2% (last month 56.1%) • Decrease in overall customer satisfaction with the service provided by the police, from 85.4% recorded last year to 74% (last month 76.3%).

There was an increase in violent crime. However, this was far less pronounced than at the end of January. Measures were put in place to address this issue including dedicated operations and greater use of our mobile CCTV van. There were improvements in three out of the four customer satisfaction measures and I would like to see this trend continue. Mobile surgeries have recently been introduced which provide the public with another means of communicating with officers. These surgeries have proved to be a great success in the past and provide an ideal opportunity for communities to share information and raise concerns.

Public Perception* • Improvement in the proportion of people who

thought crime in the neighbourhood had decreased or remained the same, from 61.7% recorded last year to 69.4%. Targeted Community Activity

Public perception saw a dramatic increase in the number of people who felt that crime had improved in their area. However, it is of concern that less people felt safe walking in their neighbourhood after dark. All communities are invited to share their concerns by speaking directly to officers and staff

Inspector Julie Robertson said: “Results for the section were very encouraging, particularly regarding crimes of robbery, vandalism, domestic housebreaking and crimes of dishonesty. Not only did we reduce the overall level of crime, we

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

Policing Dundee: Community Summaries ~ April - February 2012 also achieved an increase in some detection rates.

SECTION 4: LONGHAUGH BROUGHTY FERRY

The 15.2% reduction in crime overall at the end of February this year meant we had 310 fewer victims of crime this year when compared to the same period in 2011. This was testimony to the positive engagement officers concentrated on by providing intelligence-led focused and effective patrols in areas where they could make the most difference.

AND

Main areas of public concern: antisocial behaviour and dangerous/careless driving Crime • Reduction in Groups 1-4 crime of 27.6% (612 crimes) • Biggest reduction in Division in violent crime (28.4%, 23 crimes) • Biggest reduction in Division in crimes of dishonesty of 29.5% (369 crimes) set against an improved detection rate from 40.9% to 47.7% • Reduction in vandalism of 25.8% (203 crimes) • Reduction in domestic housebreaking of 44.0% (80 crimes).

One area where we are looking to continue this approach is violent crime, where statistics indicate we need to do better. We will be initiating dedicated operations to target hotspot areas at key times, making greater use of mobile CCTV, providing highly visible patrols, carrying out checks in licensed premises and targeting individuals who engage in such activities, through pro-active stop and search tactics in order to disrupt them and reduce violent crime.

Detection rate • An improvement in the detection rate for Groups 1-4 crime from 36.5% to 40.4% • An improvement in the detection rate for robbery from 35.7% last year to 63.6% • Best detection rate for domestic HB across Division, significant improvement from 19.2% to 47.1%

Efforts to improve our performance in relation to keeping customers updated on the progress of their enquiry / complaint was initiated recently through a circulation to all Supervisors & Lead Constables reminding everyone of the force Standards of Service in respect of keeping customers updated. I have also encouraged the use of staff in modified roles to assist in this process. Additionally, Sergeants and Lead Constables have been reminded of the importance of dip-sampling crime reports for subsequent contact with customers. This process will continue on a monthly basis. Whilst understanding victims of crime may not wish to divulge their e-mail addresses, in addition to their home or mobile telephone numbers, I would strongly urge customers to do so as this provides us with another avenue of keeping them informed.

Standards of Service • Increase in proportion of people who were satis-

fied with the service provided at first contact from 90.5% to 91.5% - exactly on target • A decrease from 55.6% to 53.2% this month in the proportion of people who stated they had received an update on the progress of their enquiry. (last month 52.1%). This most recent result was 2.4 percentage points lower than at the same time last year • Decrease of 4.3 percentage points in satisfaction with the overall customer experience, from 83.9% recorded last year to 79.6%.

We also listen to the needs of our community and one area they continue to ask us to concentrate upon is in respect of dangerous / careless driving, particularly in the vicinity of schools. As a result, we shall be carrying out a number of checks and patrols to educate road users and enforcing the law where appropriate, to make our roads safer.

Public Perception* • Substantial improvement in the proportion of peo-

ple who thought crime in the neighbourhood had decreased or remained the same, from 67.3% recorded last year to 80.6%, the best result across the Division • Similar improvement in people feeling safe after dark, from 53.9% to 59.8%, the best result across the Division • Concern about becoming a victim of crime rose from 34.6% to 48.9% (47.5% last month) and was still the best result in Division

Overall, our officers have performed extremely well and their efforts have had a positive impact on reducing crime and making our communities safer.”

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

Policing Dundee: Community Summaries ~ April - February 2012 Targeted Community Activity Sergeant Kenny Devlin said: " There were some very positive results for the section with improvements in detection rates in all areas, in particular, the detection rate for domestic housebreaking was the best result in Division and exceeded the divisional target by 17.1 percentage points. The only exception was crimes of indecency. The Section continued to see an increase in the reporting of historical crimes of indecency and these investigations, coupled with the passage of time since the crimes were committed, can take longer to investigate. The marked decrease in the number of violent crimes and domestic housebreakings means there were significantly fewer victims of crime and this has been brought about through increases in pro-active patrols, both in uniform and plain clothes, a significant increase in pro-active searching and a Warrants initiative. I realise and appreciate the importance of improving our Standards of Service and staff are encouraged to strive towards this. It was pleasing to note improvement in customer satisfaction for first contact and customer experience. I was concerned to note that there was an increase in members of the public concerned at becoming a victim of crime and would urge anyone to pass on these concerns to ourselves."

POLICING ANGUS

Policing Angus: Community Summaries ~ April - February 2012 bility 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.

SECTION 1: FORFAR AND KIRRIEMUIR Main areas of public concern: dangerous/ careless driving and antisocial behaviour Crime • Overall reduction of 14.2% in Groups 1-4 crime (141crimes) • Reduction in crimes of dishonesty of 19.3% (121crimes).

With respect to public feedback, there were improvements 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 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.

Detection rate • Detection rate for overall crime down by 10 per-

centage points, down from 48.5% last year to 38.5% • Detection rate for crimes of dishonesty down by 9.4 percentage points from 52.2% last year to 42.8% • Detection rate for vandalism down by 10.5 percentage points from 36.1% last year to 25.6% this year against a similar level of recorded crime.

Public perception remained largely unchanged although of those surveyed there was an decrease in the number of people who thought that crime in their neighbourhood had remained the same or gone down, which actually was the case. 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.”

Standards of Service • Increase in the proportion of people who expressed satisfaction with the service provided at first contact from 89.5% last year to 92.4%. This result achieved divisional target and was best result in division (together with Section 3) • Improvement in the proportion of people who stated they had received an update on the progress of their enquiry, from 57.6% recorded last year to 60.7% Public Perception* Improvement in the proportion of people who thought crime in the neighbourhood had improved or remained the same, from 68.6% recorded last year to 71.4% • Drop in the proportion of people feeling safe after dark, from 72.2% to 60.3% • Increase in the proportion of people concerned about becoming a victim of crime , from 27.4% to 31.6%. •

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 (30.4%, 281 crimes) • Reduction in crimes of dishonesty of 25.8% (123 crimes • Biggest reduction in division in vandalism of 38.1% (143 crimes).

Targeted Community Activity Inspector Ally Robertson said: “Overall crime continued to evidence decreases on levels reported at the same time last year. The only exception was domestic housebreaking, however, the percentage increase at the end of February was less than at the end of the previous month.

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

Standards of Service Increase in the proportion of people who expressed satisfaction with the service provided at first contact from 88.9% last year to 92.3% ~ just marginally lower than Sections 1 and 3 • 94.7% of respondents had been provided with the name of the person dealing with their enquiry ~ best result in Division • Decrease in the proportion of people who stated they had received an update on the progress of their enquiry from 58.8% recorded last year to 53.5%, the lowest result recorded across the Division. (49.2% last month). •

Crime • Overall reduction of 9.9% in Groups 1-4 crime

(117 crimes). • 40.6% increase in violent crime, from 27 recorded

last year to 45 for the current year to date. Highest percentage increase across division. • Reduction in crimes of dishonesty of 16.1% (113 crimes). Detection rate • Best detection rate across the Division for Groups

1-4 at 50.1%.

Public Perception* • Decline in the number of people who thought that the crime rate in their neighbourhood had remained the same or improved over the past year from 80.4% last year to 71.1% • Increase in the percentage of people feeling safe after dark, from 51.6% to 67.2% • Reduction in the proportion of people who were concerned about becoming a victim of crime, from 33.8% to 20.6%, the best result across the Division

• Best detection rate across the Division for crimes

of dishonesty at 58.2%. Standards of Service • Best result across the Division (jointly with Sec-

tion 1) of 92.4% of people expressing satisfaction with the service provided at first contact • Improvement in the percentage of customers who received an update on the progress of their enquiry from 56.6% last year to 64.8% • Improvement in overall satisfaction with the service provided by the police, rising from 82% recorded last year to 88% against a target of 85%..

Targeted Community Activity Inspector Mark McInally said:

Public Perception* • Increased concern about becoming a victim of crime, rising from 49% recorded last year to 53.5%, with drug dealing and antisocial behaviour being the main concerns.

“The Section officers continue to commit to high pro-

file activity and policing style with the dividend being 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.

Targeted Community Activity Sergeant Mike Herd said: “Overall crime in Arbroath continued to fall and once again we had the best detection rate across the Division (Groups 1 to 4). However, the increase in violent crime was of great concern, despite being an improvement on the January result. Robust action was, and will continue to be, 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.

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 this happens. 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 (* 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 - January 2012 remained at a very high level. Unfortunately our ability to update the people who are reporting incidents to us is not nearly so high and there is still room for an improvement in this area. Efforts will continue to make improvements in this area by ensuring that we are providing regular updates.

• •

It was disheartening that the people of Arbroath were not reassured by the fall in the level of crime 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.”

thought crime in the neighbourhood had decreased or remained the same despite the fall from 84.9% last year to 75.4% this year. Best result across Division for proportion of people feeling safe after dark, 79.3%. Concern about becoming a victim of crime has increased from 20% recorded last year to 27.9%.

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 had fallen and all efforts will now be made to address this issue. There was a slight increase in the amount of vandalisms in the area but our detection rate had greatly improved. This was due to extra community patrols and officers being more visible on the street. With respect to feedback from the public, there was an improvement in the number of people receiving updates from officers regarding their crimes but this can still be improved.

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

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.

Crime • Only Section to show increase in Groups 1-4 crimes by 8.5% (27 crimes) • Increase in vandalism of 27.3% (35 crimes).

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.”

Detection rate • Fall in detection rate for Groups 1-4, from 46.5% to 37.4% • Fall in detection rate for crimes of dishonesty from 45.5% to 27.3% • Best detection rate across Division for vandalism at 41.1%, an improvement of 11.4 percentage points over last year.

COMMUNITY SAFETY Targeted Community Activity

Standards of Service 5.7 percentage point improvement on the number of customers who received an update on their enquiry, from 61.0% last year to 66.7%, best result in Division and exceeded the target of 65% • Decrease in overall satisfaction with the service provided by the police, from 87.8% to 83.1, a further decline on the 84.7% recorded last month.

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

Policing Angus: Community Summaries ~ April - January 2012 that our communities are updated so as to impact positively on the public perception of crime.

PUBLIC PROTECTION UNIT Targeted Community Activity

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.

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 evidence that our current strategy is working and we are making Angus a safer place in which to live.

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 ‘Safe as Houses‘ (Angus Care and Repair). Through community engagement they raise awareness of local crime trends and provide advice and assistance to members of the public and private and retail premises.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.”

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.”

Policing Angus: Community Summaries ~ April - January 2012 ROADS POLICING UNIT Targeted Community Activity Sergeant Craig McBean said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;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. 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. All forces supported a one day campaign in relation to Speeding/inappropriate driving on our roads on 22/23 February. The campaign was designed to raise and improve safety for all road users through education and enforcement in respect of speeding, as well as inappropriate driving. Offences in relation to seatbelts and mobile phones were also targeted. The campaign had a positive impact on our continued efforts towards casualty reduction. The statistical returns were encouraging will all areas showing a good level of commitment. The performance indicators and campaign statistical returns show the Divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts in a very positive light. 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.

Targeted Community Activity Inspector Martin said: “96.3% of people asked were satisfied with their first contact with the police, an improvement of over 7 percentage points when compared to the same time last year. There was also an increase in the number of people who felt safe walking alone after dark and an 11 percentage point decrease in the number of people who were concerned about becoming a victim of crime.

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 82.5% to 77.7%, 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 22.3% to 35%. •

At the same time the Section has evidenced a 17.2% drop in the number of domestic housebreakings and the best result in the Division for two detection rates (groups 1 to 4 and crimes of dishonesty). A 92.4% detection rate for violent crime was also achieved. Our high visibility patrols will continue to ensure that we remain present and visible in the community, reassuring and keeping in touch with the residents. Our Youth Alcohol patrols play a large part in this

Targeted Community Activity Inspector Wayne Morrison said: “I was very pleased with the performance of the officers and staff working in Blairgowrie and the Carse of Gowrie. They worked hard to achieve the performance figures published for February, the best detection rate across the division for vandalism was excellent for such a difficult crime type and, not only

that, vandalisms were also down by over 18%. Violent crime in the section was down by 44.4%, with no robberies reported since the start of the recording year.

Inspector Iain Ward said: “‘Hard work by all the officers and staff working in South Section ensured that our detection rate for crime overall improved by 7.6 percentage points and vandalisms recorded decreased by 25.3%. In addition, despite an increase in the number of domestic housebreakings, the detection rate improved by 4.5 percentage points.

The public perception figures were the best in the division in two out of three areas and our standards of service continued to improve. Partnership working with Community Wardens and Special Constable Youth Alcohol patrols combined with our normal regular high visibility patrols clearly impacting positively on the section.”

The Standards of Service results were encouraging and, in terms of Public Perception, 76.6% of residents stated that they felt safe walking alone in the area after dark, the best result in the division and an improvement on the result at the same time last year.

SECTION 6: SOUTH PERTHSHIRE

Targeted Community Activity Inspector Maggie Pettigrew said: “The Officers and staff working in the North Section once again surpassed themselves. There were improvements all round - 100% detection for violent crime, a 35.3% detection rate for Vandalisms (6 percentage points better than last year). The Standards of Service results were encouraging and, in terms of Public perception, only 10.3% of those surveyed were concerned they may become a victim of crime. This was a considerable improvement on the position at the same time last year. The overall results and the perception of the public reflects the strong community policing model adopted and perfected over the years in the North of Perthshire. It also highlights the dedication and hard work of the regular officers and the Special Constables, without whom we would not be able to provide such an excellent service to our residents. Partnership working and community engagement ensure a high level of service to those in the section.”

CRIME MANAGEMENT Inspector Dave Adamson said: ‘Once again, Western Division’s performance exceeded expectations with an 8% drop in overall crime numbers combined with an improvement of 1.8 percentage points in the detection rate. In individual crime types there were improvements almost across the board. Suffice to say that despite the financial and staffing constraints we still performed beyond expectations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The graph below illustrates that 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 same time last year. However this pattern was reversed in August and, since then, the number of domestic abuse incidents recorded each month has been higher than last year. In the month of February 2012 406 incidents were reported, 35% more than in the corresponding month last year. Taking all months into consideration, at the end of February the total of 4381 incidents was 6% higher than the 4140 incidents reported at the end of February 2011.

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.

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.

Between April and the end of February 2012, 2239 out of the 4381 domestic abuse incidents Tayside Police dealt with involved one or more substantiated crimes. In 57% of incidents where a crime had occurred the perpetrator was charged and a report was sent to the Procurator Fiscal. Victims stated that 38% of reported incidents resulting in a substantive crime were repeat episodes.

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 noncriminal behaviour would be isolation, withholding money and psychological abuse etc which can have a substantial impact on a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and wellbeing and that of their children. Examples of criminal behaviour would be assaults, vandalism, threatening or abusive behaviour, fire-raising etc.

Throughout the Tayside area there were 109 Domestic Abuse Incidents per 10,000 population. In 24% of incidents either the victim, the perpetrator or both were under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident.

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.

The following table provides details of the number of incidents per month and the number per 10,000

PUBLIC PROTECTION population. It also includes the number of incidents resulting in a substantive crime and the percentage of those where a victim reported a repeat episode. The last column contains the number of all incidents where alcohol was an influencing factor.

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 February 2012, in Dundee, 215 crimes were recorded and a detection rate of 56.7% was achieved. In Angus 115 crimes were recorded together with a detection rate of 63.5% and 94 crimes were recorded in Perth and Kinross where the detection rate was 70.2%. The figures for the whole of Tayside were 424 crimes recorded and 61.6% detected.

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.

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.

32 Full SOPOs were in force as at the end of February 2012.

Failure to notify police/provide false information

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.

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’.

Registered Sex Offenders in custody are those who are currently serving their sentence. The length of time people spend on the sex offenders register will depend on the sentence they received. The number of sex offenders at risk of doing serious harm to another individual (should they commit another crime) is also broken down into those at very high

Between April 2011 and February 2012, 3 people were charged with this offence. Source: Tayside Police Public Protection Unit/ Management Information System 40

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 February 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. The pattern, however, is very similar. If this continues, crime will rise in March, although not perhaps to the level indicated by the projected yellow circle on the chart. With only one month to go, 13549 crimes recorded was 4401 crimes below target and, therefore, target should be achieved.

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).

Policing Dundee Crime: The level of crime recorded each month during the current year has been much lower than during 2010-2011. Although the number of crimes recorded has increased in January, this was expected following last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trend. Even if crime escalates again in March, the projected year end figure of 7783 is well below the target of 10000, so this should be easily achieved.

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 and remained there in February. Due to the consistent low levels of crime recorded this year the year end result is predicted to be 3230, well below the target of 3650 and it is expected target will be achieved.

The low levels of crime evidenced since November resulted in a sustained on-target result during recent months. With only one month to go there is a differential of 64 crimes between the end of February result and target. The highest monthly result during the year was 60 and it is expected, therefore, that the end of year target will be

achieved, despite the higher projected figure (48) for March.

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 was achieved for the 4th consecutive time in February. With only one month to go the total of 250 was 35 below target. The projected figure for March is 22 and the monthly average to date this year 23, so it is expected that target will be achieved at the end of the year.

This has enabled target results to be achieved during the last three months. 131 crimes recorded at the end of February allows for 24 crimes in March. As the highest month this year was July with 16 crimes recorded, it is confidently expected that target will be met.

Detection Rate A 73.1% detection rate was achieved at the end of February, 1.3 percentage points above the target of 70%. This was the first time target had been achieved since May 2011. Small numbers in this area mean that one detection can lead to large fluctuations in the detection rates and the difference between above and below target is minimal. Hopefully, performance will be good enough to achieve an on target result at the end of the year.

Detection Rate 33.3% of crime had been detected against the target of 30%. This was a 3.9 percentage point improvement on the 29.4% detection rate recorded at the same time last year. Target was achieved at the end of each month this year and it is more than likely this will remain the case at the end of March.

Policing Dundee Crime: the level of crime, after levelling in January, rose slightly in February and the trend line was, therefore, still on a slight upward incline. However, the end of February result of 367 was a 37% improvement on the 582 recorded at the same time last year. An on-target result had been achieved every month during the year and there is no reason to suppose this will not continue to the end of the March.

Crime: A slight rise in the number of crimes recorded in February to 8 (exactly as projected) brought the total for the year to date to 88. The end of year target is 90 which only leaves a margin of 2 crimes over the next month before the target figure is breached. It is unlikely the target will be achieved at the end of March.

Detection Rate: 35.4% of crime was detected against the target of 40.0%. 5 more detections would have been required in order to achieve target. As target has not been achieved since October it is unlikely there will be an improvement big enough to secure target at the end of the year.

ROAD SAFETY Background Delivery of Road Safety in the Tayside area is undertaken by two Road Safety Officers, based in Angus and Perth & Kinross, and the Road Safety Coordinator.

The event is scheduled to take place in Angus later in the year.

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. 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.

Car seat checking was very popular in February and Road Safety Officers saw an increase in the number of requests. Overall staff checked 30 child seats. Many of those attending cited seeing the poster advertising this service in their GP surgery or at Ninewells hospital.

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

Regular inputs in respect of child in-car safety take place in Angus at ante-natal classes and in Perth & Kinross at post-natal and new parents groups.

Working with partners allows Road Safety Staff to disseminate pertinent Road Safety information to specific groups and there are very good longâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;term working relationships with NHS Tayside, Tayside Fire and Rescue and the constituent Local Authorities Social Work, Education and Roads and Transport departments. Update Along with regular Road Safety work, February saw Road Safety staff come together to deliver Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training for Early Years and Primary Level teaching staff in Perth & Kinross and Dundee. The aims of the training are to enhance teachers knowledge and subsequent use of the incremental local and national Road Safety Educational resources which are available in Tayside schools thereby contributing to casualty reduction through improving road user attitude, behaviour and skills. The training takes an hour and a half and is delivered through a power point presentation of all resources available for specific age groups which leads into an interactive session using the hard resources and the web based support materials. CPD training has already been prepared and offered for Secondary teaching staff, but with a very low uptake, the decision to cancel the event was taken. Staff who had registered have been contacted and will receive one-to-one training.

At the end of December 2011 Sickness Absence for Police Officers throughout Scotland was as follows:

Cumulatively to the end of February this year, sickness absence accounted for 9119 days lost. This resulted in an on-target sickness absence rate for Tayside of 3.8, a considerable improvement on the February 2011 result of 4.2%. The graph below illustrates clearly the high level of days lost in the month of January last year (1159) and the much improved level of 767 this year. Tayside Police OFFICERS

Whilst still within target (4.5%), most recent results were the highest recorded this year and exceeded 4.0% for the first time. At the end of February 2011 there were 621 staff and the number of days sickness absence taken was 5822 (average 9.3 days per person). At the end of January this year, 4519 days were lost but the number of staff had reduced to 542 (an average of 8.2 days per person).

Over half the days lost (52%) were lost through 96 periods of long-term sickness absence (29 days or over), a further 30% were lost through 1182 periods of short-term sickness absence (under 7 days) and the remaining 18% was accounted for by 101 periods of medium-term absence of between 8 and 28 days.

In terms of length of time staff were off sick, 49% of days lost was accounted for by 54 periods of longterm absence, 30% through 569 periods of shortterm absence and the remaining 21% was due to 68 periods of medium-term absence.

Central Division: lost 3104 days to the end of February, an average of almost 7 days per officer. This resulted in a sickness absence rate of 3.6% (within the 4% target) compared to 4% recorded at the same time last year.

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.

Eastern Division: lost 2583 days and the sickness absence rate was 5.1%. This result failed to achieve target (4.0%) despite improving month-onmonth since September (5.9%) and being 0.8 percentage points better than at the same time last year.

PERSONNEL sated 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.

Central Division:

sickness absence rose from 3.8% at the end of February 2011 to 4.1% at the end of February this year, exactly the same as in January and the highest since July 2011. This was accounted for by 620 days lost through sickness absence – an average of 8.7 days per member of staff. This result was within the target of 4.5%.

As at 3 February 2012, 39,939 TOIL hours had been accrued by police officers, 11,262 in Central Division, 9,669 in Eastern Division, 10,834 in Western Division and the remaining 8,174 in other areas of the force.

Eastern Division:

615 days were lost through sickness absence which produced a below target (4.5%) result of 5.6% and averaged out at 11.6 days per member of staff. At the same time last year the sickness absence rate of 4% achieved target.

TURNOVER RATES Western Division: only 2.8% of available working days were lost through sickness absence; 339 days were lost, an average of 5.8 per member of staff. This year’s result is a dramatic improvement on the result at the same time last year ~ 5.3%

Police Officers and Staff leave the force for a variety of reasons, one of which is retirement. Between April and December 2011, 41 Police Officers left Tayside Police which represented a turnover rate of 3.3%. During the same period last year the turnover rate was 2.5%.

SPECIAL CONSTABLES

The table above illustrates that, again, Tayside Police returned the fourth lowest result, equal to Central Scotland Police.

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.

MODIFIED DUTIES AND TIME OFF IN LIEU

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.

Modified Duties Modified duties are defined as temporary short term rehabilitation duties or working conditions approved to assist an individual’s return to the full extent of their duties following illness or injury by permitting return to work of a less demanding capacity.

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

There were 70 officers were on modified duties as at 3 February 2012. This accounted for 5.6% of overall police officer strength. Of the 70 modified duty officers, 20 were on modified protected duties (for example, pregnancy related).

Despite all the current changes in policing in Scotland, Special Constables remain consistent in their dedication to the role. Source of Information: Sickness Absence and Turnover Rates: Personnel and Training Department, Special Constables: Staff Development Unit

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 supports the prevention and management of substance misuse within Tayside Police in order to create and maintain healthy staff and enhance public trust in services delivered by the Force. This programme does not prevent 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.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION The Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 came into effect on 1 January 2005 and provides a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities. The Act also sets out exemptions to that right and places a number of related obligations on public authorities, particularly in relation to Records Management and Publication Schemes. Tayside Police maintains a Publication Scheme which sets out the classes of information available, the manner in which the information will be published, and whether a charge will be made for the information. If information is not available through the Publication Scheme then a Freedom of Information request can be submitted. The deadline for a public authority to respond to Freedom of Information requests is 20 working days. There are times, however, when it will not be appropriate for certain types of information to be released into the public domain. As such, the Act allows authorities to withhold information in certain, limited, circumstances e.g. the information is not held by Tayside Police, the information is otherwise unavailable, retrieval of the information sought would exceed the statutory cost limit, the applicant has requested information about themselves, the applicant has requested information about a third party, or information concerning police investigations.

Please note: The number of responses issued per month is irrespective of when the request the is received. For example, a request submitted at the end of February would not be responded to until March Compliance w ith 20 day deadline (%) 70

HEALTH AND SAFETY Health & Safety

The following table provides the reason for accident/ injury between April and February this year. Exposure to violence was the main cause (46%). Assaults accounted for 18% of the total and 16% of injuries were sustained during arrests.

The Force Safety Adviser is responsible for provision of professional advice on all occupational health and safety matters to ensure the safety of all employees and public who work in or visit police buildings and to ensure in the force meets its statutory obligations. On a monthly basis the number of accidents that have occurred during the year will be published together with the causation factors.

Causation factors: Road Traffic collisions Manual handling Slips, trips, falls Training ~ in house and at the Scottish Police College Exposure to violence Assaults Injuries caused by sharp objects Injuries during arrests Others Total

Between April 2011 and the end of February 2012 there had been 81 accidents to Police Officers and Staff. However, there were no accidents at all in the month of January - the first time this has occurred in at least 10 years. 7 violent incidents during the year resulted in Police Officers having to take time off work and the total number of incidents resulting in lost time was 18. 13 of these incidents required to be reported to the Health & Safety Executive. Many of the figures relating to Health & Safety are on course to provide the best ever year-end results with two exceptions: the number of days lost, exacerbated this year by four people who sustained injuries resulting in long periods of sickness absence, and injuries sustained as a result of a road traffic collision . This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s figure includes three officers all of whom were injured in one road traffic collision. Overall, performance was better than the corresponding period last year and the figures for Assaults and Injuries During Arrest are on course to provide a best ever end of year result.
