BACKGROUND 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 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 INDICATORS contained 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, engagement and feedback, provides an indication of the extent to which the force is succeeding in contributing to improved community outcomes.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS •

•

Customer Satisfaction: First Contact: overall satisfaction rating Customer Satisfaction: First Contact: provided with name of call handler Customer Satisfaction: updating the public Customer Satisfaction: Police visibility

•

Customer Satisfaction: overall experience of service provided Crime Groups 1-4 Violent crime Robbery Vandalism Domestic Housebreaking Roads Policing/Safety - casualties Proportion of working time lost to sickness absence Finance – variance from budget

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 (UCLs) and Lower Control Limits (LCLs). Applying statistical formulae to historical data defines the control limits. (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’, based on 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: April - November 2011 1.

STANDARDS OF SERVICE

Two out of four customer satisfaction targets were achieved for the period April to November 2011 and both in relation to first contact. Overall satisfaction at first contact evidenced a significant 3.4 percentage point improvement compared to the same period the previous year rising from 90.6% to 94.0% and exceeded the 2011/12 target by 2.5 percentage points. The percentage of respondents who were provided with the name of the person dealing with their enquiry rose 2.4 percentage points from 82.3% to 84.7%, which well 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 1.4 percentage points to 60.7%, albeit this result still fell short of the target set at 65.0%. Satisfaction with the overall service provided by Tayside Police failed to achieve the target of 85.0% but returned an improvement of 2.0 percentage points compared to the commensurate figure the previous year, rising from 81.5% to 83.5%. 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 small sample size (n=173). 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. •

48.9% of service users thought that the current level of police patrols in their neighbourhood was ‘about right’ for their community needs. Conversely, 50.4% felt it was ‘too little’ and a minimal 0.8% that it was ‘too much’. The majority of respondents, 77.9%, 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, 58.1%, whilst a further 19.8%, although not able to identify their local officer by sight or name, knew how to contact them should the need arise. 22.1% of residents were able to recognise their community officer either by name, sight or both. 65.2% of service users agreed that officers understood the issues that mattered in their neighbourhoods and 59.8% felt that officers were dealing with such matters. Overall, 64.7% of respondents had confidence in the police in their neighbourhood. Taking everything into account, 70.1% of service users thought that community officers were doing a ‘good’ or ‘very good’ job in their area.

CRIME

The force achieved 6 out of 10 crime-related targets. This included an overall reduction in Groups 1-4 crime of almost 19% (2392 crimes), with the following changes in crime groups: Group 1 – violent crime, a decrease of 0.5% (2 crimes) Group 2 – crimes of indecency, an increase of 7.6% (21 crimes) Group 3 – crimes of dishonesty ,a reduction of 18.6% (1497crimes) Group 4 – malicious mischief, vandalism etc, a reduction of 22.6% (914 crimes) (Data was sourced directly from Apex crime reporting system on 2 December 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.)

Improvements across key performance indicators included a reduction in domestic housebreaking of 28.8% (183 crimes) and vandalism of 22.5% (843 crimes).

Improvements in detection rates included Groups 1-4 from 44.5% recorded last year to 47.3%, violent crime from 82.0% to 83.6%, robbery from 60.0% to 67.1% and domestic housebreaking from 30.1% to 35.8%. The detection rate for vandalism was lower, though only marginally. Four crime areas did not meet target - violent crime recorded and the detection rates for violent crime, robbery and vandalism.

TELEPHONE RESPONSE RATES

Between April and November, the force saw a marked deterioration in telephone response rates to emergency calls. The force dealt with 34,993 emergency phone calls during the period, an increase of 5.8% (1911 calls). Overall, 86.8% of calls were answered within 10 seconds, the result falling by 6.2 percentage points and failing to meet the national target of 90%. However, 6 months ago the result was 83.0% and noticeable improvements have been evidenced in recent months.

SICKNESS ABSENCE

The absence rate for police officers was 3.9% for the period, was almost the same as at the end of October 2010 (4.0%) and met the target of 4.0%. The police staff result at 3.7% was well ahead of the 4.7% recorded last year and also surpassed the target (4.5%) by a considerable margin.

ROAD CASUALTIES

Between April and November fifteen fatalities were recorded, 35% fewer than the 23 people killed during the same period last year. Sadly, one of the 4 fatalities in the month of November was a child; the first child killed on the roads of Tayside since November 2008. A further 139 people were seriously injured (128 last year), of which 17 were children. At the end of November, the total number of people killed or seriously injured (154) was 2% more than at the same time last year (151). From April 2011, the force adopted the government’s Road Safety Framework Targets to the year 2020.

PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF CRIME IN TAYSIDE AND CONFIDENCE IN THE POLICE

91.7% of respondents in Tayside perceived their neighbourhood to be a safe place to live. This indicates a minimal 1.1 percentage point improvement compared to the previous year when 90.6% of respondents were of the same opinion. Whilst opinions remained fairly static between 2011 and 2010 in relation to those who felt that crime levels had remained the same during the year 59.8%, a 1.0 percentage point improvement was recorded for those who felt that crime had decreased rising from 12.8% to 13.8% and similarly, a 1.7 percentage point reduction in those who felt that crime had increased, falling from 28.2% to 26.5%. The main issues of concern to residents when asked unprompted was ‘antisocial behaviour’, closely followed by ‘dangerous/careless driving’ and ‘drug dealing or drug abuse’. This provides a similar representation of concerns as in the previous year with only ‘antisocial behaviour’ and ‘dangerous/careless driving’ changing position. In terms of prevalence of crime in local neighbourhoods, almost half of all respondents, 44.9% said that ‘antisocial behaviour’ was a common problem in their local area, followed by ‘vandalism/graffiti’, 35.0% and ‘dangerous/careless driving’, 32.9%. This mirrors the findings for the same period in 2010. 36.3% (36.1%) 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’, 49.5%, closely followed by ‘antisocial behaviour’, 45.4%, were the major issues of concern.

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% (96.2%) of residents felt safe. Conversely an improvement of 1.8 percentage points was recorded in relation to feelings of safety after dark rising from 62.2% to 64.0%. A new 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 at this stage due to the small sample size (n=183). Results for the corresponding questions in the Service Satisfaction survey have been included in brackets for comparison purposes. •

50.0% (48.9%) of residents thought that the current level of police patrols in their neighbourhood was ‘about right’ for their community needs. Conversely, 50.0% (50.4%) felt it was ‘too little’. 64.7% (77.9%) 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, 73.0% (58.1%), whilst a further 14.6% (19.8%), although not able to identify their local officer by sight or name, knew how to contact them should the need arise. 12.4% (22.1%) of residents were able to recognise their community officer either by name, sight or both. 56.4% (65.2%) of respondents agreed that officers understood the issues that mattered in their neighbourhoods and 50.0% (59.8%) felt that officers were dealing with such matters. Overall, two thirds of residents had confidence in the police in their neighbourhood, 60.1% (64.7%). Taking everything into account, 59.0% (70.1%) 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 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 improve going forward.

SECTION 1 Forfar and Kirriemuir

POLICING ANGUS

Policing Angus: Community Summaries ~ April - November 2011 Section 1: Forfar and Kirriemuir Crime - Overall reduction of 18.7% in Groups 1-4 crime (143 crimes), a further improvement on the 17.3% recorded last month - Reduction in crimes of dishonesty of 22.3% (110 crimes), a further improvement on the 20.1% recorded last month - Continues to show no robberies recorded to date - Reduction of 8.7% in vandalism (19 crimes), a further improvement on the 7.3% recorded last month Standards of Service - Improvement in the proportion of people who stated they had received an update on the progress of their enquiry, from 52% recorded last year to 60.5% Public Perception - Improvement in the proportion of people who thought crime in the neighbourhood had improved or remained the same, from 66.7% recorded last year to 75.8% • Drop in the proportion of people feeling safe after dark, from 71.9% to 60.8% Targeted Community Activity Inspector Ally Robertson commented: Crime “We continue to improve our figures in reducing the amount of victims we have across the section. A further reduction of group 1 to 4 crime of 18.7% is an improvement on last month.” “We continue to act robustly with offenders and take every opportunity to detect them and prevent crimes by being highly visible and pro-active. “ “Greater emphasis on commercial property checking over this last month has assisted with the reduction in break-ins to commercial premises.” Standards of Service “Improvements in updating people we have had contact with is again encouraging and this will continue to be the focus of the Supervisors in the section with dip sampling embedded into their duties.” Public Perception “A noticeable rise in people believing that their communities crime profile has improved is welcomed although the fear that venturing out after dark must be addressed.” “The marketing of good news will continue through Community Officers, items in the local newspapers and community groups.” “The Community Policing model of being active, visible and approachable is working. Over the festive period the section is endeavouring to have officers designated to foot patrols in the towns centres to reassure Christmas shoppers that Forfar and Kirriemuir are safe and secure areas to shop and enjoy. “

Section 2: Montrose and Brechin Crime - Largest reduction in Division in Groups 1-4 crime (30.3%, 211crimes) - Reduction in crimes of dishonesty of 26% (94 crimes), a further improvement over the 23% recorded last month - Reduction of 38.2% in vandalism (110 crimes), and the best result recorded for the Division Detection rate - Dip in detection rate for overall crime groups 1-4, from 57.1% last year to 48.1% - Dip in detection rate for vandalism from 51.7% to 31.5% Standards of Service - Substantial decrease in the proportion of people who stated they had received an update on the progress of their enquiry from 60.7% recorded last year to 43.8%, the lowest result recorded across the Division

Policing Angus: Community Summaries ~ April - November 2011 Public Perception - Drop in the proportion of people who thought crime in the neighbourhood had improved or remained the same, from 78.1% recorded last year to 72.3% - Improvement in people feeling safe after dark, from 52.1% to 63.9% - Marked reduction in the proportion of people who were concerned about becoming a victim of crime, from 37.5% to 19.6%, the best result across the Division Targeted Community Activity Inspector Mark McInally commented: Crime “There has been a dip in detection rates This should be looked at in conjunction with the large reduction in the number of crimes, including vandalisms that have been reported. There have been fewer crimes, however those that have been reported have been more difficult to detect. Supervisors have been reminded to fully research all the undetected crime reports they received and ensure that all avenues of enquiries have been undertaken and completed before filing.” Standards of Service “We have seen a decrease in the number of people who received updates. Officers have been reminded that it is a requirement to make contact with people we have contact with who need to be given progress updates.” Public Perception “It is disappointing that there appears to have been a drop in the proportion of people who perceived that crime had decreased in their areas. Officers will continue the good work that they are currently undertaking over the festive period in relation to high profile patrols in all areas and regular engagement with the public. “ Section 3: Arbroath Crime - Overall reduction of 14% in Groups 1-4 crime (128 crimes) - Reduction in crimes of dishonesty of 20.4% (115 crimes) Detection rate - Best detection rate across the division for Groups 1-4 at 51.1% - Best detection rate across the division for crimes of dishonesty at 56.9% - Best detection rate across the division for housebreaking at 50% Standards of Service - Improvement in the proportion of people who stated they had received an update on the progress of their enquiry, from 56.8% recorded last year to 66% - Improvement in overall satisfaction with the service provided by the police, from 81.2% to 87.2%, the best result across the Division Public Perception - Drop in the proportion of people who thought crime in the neighbourhood had improved or remained the same, from 66% recorded last year to 55.2% Targeted Community Activity Inspector Adrian Robertson commented: Crime “Section 3 continues to lead the way in terms of detection rates for most crime categories - this is obviously pleasing. However, we have an increase minor assaults and low level indecent exposure type incidents which have a link to alcohol consumption by young people. We have ensured that all schools have been visited and a clear message provided in terms of what is acceptable behaviour and what is not. It is hoped that this will have an impact on deterring young people from conducting themselves in an inappropriate manner. Part of the festive safety campaign involves regular visits to licensed premises with a view to ensuring a responsible attitude is taken by licensees to the sale of alcohol and ensuring that customers are not sold alcohol to excess thus avoiding them getting involved in the commission of offences or becoming a victim.” 23

Policing Angus: Community Summaries ~ April - November 2011 Standards of Service “We need to get better at giving our contact details to complainers; all officers have been instructed to take the time, prior to leaving any call, to ensure that the complainer knows their name and has a means of contacting the officer again if needs be. It is hoped that this will see an improvement in this area.” Public Perception “Clearly, there is a marketing opportunity here. Our community has the perception that they are more likely to be a victim of crime than elsewhere in the Angus. This is in spite of the fact that our detection rates top the Division in most categories (5 out of 6), and we have also seen significant reductions in most crime areas (including a 36% reduction in break-ins). We intend to approach the local press with a view to selling our efforts a bit more and will ensure that our successes are more readily communicated to the public by this means. We will also ensure that our Community Officers pass on this message at Community meetings and consultations and that a message is clearly visible within the foyer of the police office advising the public of our success in reducing and detecting crime. “ Section 4: Carnoustie Crime - Only Section to show increase in Groups 1-4 crimes (9.6%, 24 crimes) - Increase in vandalism of 37.5%, (36 crimes) Detection rate - Improvement in detection rate for vandalism, from 26% to 34.1% Standards of Service - Substantial improvement in the proportion of people who stated they had received an update on the progress of their enquiry, from 57.9% recorded last year to 67.9%, the best result across the Division - Decrease in overall satisfaction with the service provided by the police, from 91.7% to 86.5%, however, still the best result across the Division Public Perception - Drop in the proportion of people who thought crime in the neighbourhood had improved or remained the same, from 94.4% recorded last year to 77.5%, but still the best result across the Division - Best result across Division for proportion of people feeling safe after dark, 77.6% - Concern about becoming a victim of crime has also increased from 22% to 30.3% Targeted Community Activity Inspector Fiona Jarrett commented: Crime “We will try to increase engagement with parents when their children are found causing annoyance to others on the street. Community Liaison Officers will address local high school pupils at school assemblies on youth disorder and vandalism and attend related parent evenings. Efforts to continue in respect of Operation Dry Up. Alcohol to be seized and enquiry to be made following the identification of any licensing offences. Community Liaison Officers will address local high school pupils at school assemblies on youth disorder and vandalism and attend related parent evenings.” Standards of Service “We will continue to try to improve our contact with people who report matters to us and provide them with timely and meaningful updates.” Public Perception “We will maximise social media opportunities for engagement with local community through “ Our Carnoustie” and other means available. We have engaged with print and TV media regarding the importance of the War Memorial and the need for young people to show appropriate respect.”

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 employ their 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, crime reports will have relevant markers added to them which allows officers and staff from support functions and specialist teams to search and identify applicable records. Where no substantive crimes are being investigated, the crime 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 the best possible response.

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 children. 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, fireraising 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. Between April and the end of November 2011, Tayside Police dealt with 3076 domestic abuse incidents and 1639 of these involved one or more substantiated crimes. In 56% of incidents where a crime had occurred the perpetrator was charged and a report was sent to the Procurator Fiscal. Victims stated that 37% of reported incidents resulting in a substantive crime were repeat episodes.

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. The 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. The registered sex offenders in custody are those who are currently serving their sentence for the crime they committed. 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 do- Tayside V. High Risk High risk Medium Risk ing serious harm to another individual (should they com- Registered Sex Offenders Low Risk Not Assessed mit another crime) is also broken down into those at very 400 high risk, high risk, medium risk, low risk or not assessed. 350

As can be seen from the chart, there were a total of 404 registered Sex Offenders in Tayside at the end of November 2011. Of these, 338 were living in the community and were mainly at medium (140) or low risk (140) of causing serious harm to another individual. There were however 39 people who were considered at high risk of causing serious harm and a further 2 who are a very high risk, should they re-offend. A larger number of very high risk offenders were in custody (17). In addition, there were 14 high risk offenders, 16 medium risk and 4 low risk offenders also in custody.

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 offenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behaviour. 31 Full SOPOs were in force at the end of November and 1 Interim order.

Breach of Sex Offender Order Sex Offender Orders (SOOs) were designed to protect the public from serious sexual harm. SOOs placed restrictions on the sex offender but were not able to place obligations on the sex offender. SOOs were replaced by the Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) under the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2003. There had been 8 Breach of Sex Offender orders between April and November 2011.

Registered Sex Offenders Sexual Offence Liaison Officer (SOLO) Deployments A 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.

PUBLIC PROTECTION Crimes of Indecency This is a group of crimes which involve 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 November 2011, in Dundee, 155 crimes were recorded and a detection rate of 59.4% was recorded. In Angus 81 crimes were recorded together with a detection rate of 67.9% and 60 crimes were recorded in Perth and Kinross where the detection rate was 66.7%. The figures for the whole of Tayside were 296 crimes recorded and 63.2% 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 â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Failure to notify the police or provide false informationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Three people failed to advise the police of a change of circumstances between April and November 2011 and were charged with the above offence.

This is a very 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 cooperation with other forces, perhaps leading to a successful 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.

Tayside ~ Percentage of Class A Drugs

Class A 2011-12 49%

As can be seen from the pie chart to the right, 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 November 2011, 60 Counter Terrorism briefings were delivered across Tayside to a total of 585 non-police personnel. Included in the above were briefings delivered to a large number of fire and rescue service personnel and, on one occasion, to over 100 pupils at a school in Dundee.

Tayside Violent Crime includes crimes such as Murder, Attempted Murder, Serious Assault, Robbery, Child Cruelty, Threats, Abduction etc. These crimes are all Victim Based’ which means a crime is recorded for each victim of violent crime even if there are multiple victims involved in the same incident.

After the rise in numbers of crime recorded in September, the October result was lower, and fell even further in November (35) to 20 almost half the total recorded in November 10 2010 (61). This most recent low result im0 pacted upon the cumulative result and Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar brought this year’s result to just below the commensurate result last year. (Please see the table below). The projected figure of 51 in December was based on historical data and does not take into account the recent lower results. 40 30

Detection Rate Unfortunately, the detection rate had not improved at the end of November and the 83.6% recorded was 1.4 percentage points below the target of 85%. However, a further 5 crimes detected would have been sufficient to raise the result to target level. Relatively low numbers of crimes involved in this category of crimes mean that one or two detections more (or fewer) lead to large fluctuations in the detection rate. All projections are based on the previous 60 months’ 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.

Policing Dundee At the end of October the monthly results to date this year were producing a trendline with an upward incline. The lower number of crimes recorded in November (21) had the effect of redressing the balance and the trendline at the end of November was level. The November result was in direct contrast to the sharp rise in November 2010 when 38 crimes were recorded but the end of November result was still 6 crimes above target. Projections indicate that there may be a rise in crime recorded over the next two months.

Based on results between April and August a level trendline was emerging. The influence of the high result in September converted this into an upward trajectory which even the lower October result did not completely redress. However, an even lower result in November resulted in a downward trendline.

The graph above shows that fluctuations are possible in this category and the number of crimes recorded each month does not necessarily follow a seasonal pattern. However, the three year average does indicate higher results in the coming months. The graph above illustrates that the sharp rise in crime in November 2010 was avoided this year. Cumulatively, to the end of November the 79 crimes recorded this year represented a 12% decrease on the 90 recorded at the end of November 2010.

At the end of November recorded crime for vandalism in Tayside (2910) was 22% lower than at the same time last year (3754) resulting in ’on target’ results for Tayside and the three divisions.

Detection Rate 30.7% of all crimes of vandalism had been detected at the end of November against a target figure of 32.0%. A further 39 detections would have been required to secure an on-target result. All projections are based on the previous 60 months’ worth of data and take seasonal variations into consideration.

VANDALISM Dundee

Vandalism Recorded 400

Policing Dundee Whilst, very generally speaking, the pattern of crime recorded between April and November 2011 has mirrored last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results, it has been at much lower levels. The graph to the left illustrates this very clearly. At the end of November recorded crime was 29% lower than at the same time last year. Projections suggest that the lower levels of crime should continue to the end of the fiscal year.

The chart to the left shows the recent rise in housebreakings across Tayside reached 79 in October (breaching the upper control limit 20 for the first time this year). In contrast, crime fell sharply in November to below the 0 lower control limit. However, the emerging Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar trend this year is still on an upward slope. At the end of November, the cumulative result of 452 crimes was 29% below the 635 crimes recorded between April to November 2010. 40

Detection Rate 35.8% of crime had been detected against the target of 30% and was a 5.7 percentage point improvement on the 30.1% detection rate recorded at the same time last year. Projections for the coming months indicate that although the level of crime may fall, results will be in the vicinity of the upper control limit. All projections are based on the previous 60 monthsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of data and take seasonal variations into consideration.

Policing Dundee The graph to the left illustrates the sharp drop in the number of crimes recorded in November. 21 crimes recorded was the lowest monthly total since December 2009. This result tempered a sharp, upwardly facing trendline and whilst it was still upward facing at the end of November was nowhere near as steep. If similar, lower results could be achieved in the coming months this would certainly reverse this trend.

Overall, performance was better than the corresponding period last year. There were only two lost time accidents during October and November. Whilst injuries during arrest was highest in October, in terms of the long-term picture the force is still heading for the lowest ever figure in this category. The first manual handling injury of the year occurred in November and the first training injuries, all sustained during Police Support Unit training in Fife. This involved significant numbers of police officers engaged in realistic Public Order training.
