Introduction DELIVERING LOCAL POLICING
B
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.
C
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 force uses performance indicators to gather information about performance, quality of service and public perception. These are listed below. They are derived from priorities identified through the annual strategic assessment and also include issues, such as housebreaking and vandalism, identified through public feedback.
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.

Background
P
erformance Indicators are derived from detailed policing plans and business plans outlining what Local Policing Areas and supporting departments intend to deliver in support of the priorities set out in the three-year Tayside Policing Plan 20112014. These form the basis for this performance publication. Two community priorities: ‘Public Safety’ and ‘Public Reassurance’, underpin the policing plan . Analysis of data and context1 with respect to performance indicators, combined with the outputs from public consultation, provide an indication of the extent to which the force is succeeding in contributing to improved community outcomes.
What this 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 occurs, or identifies challenges which require to be addressed.
Consulting, engaging and listening Public consultation and feedback runs as a thread throughout performance management and provides information that lets us know whether we are doing things right. ‘Customers’ include our staff.
FOOTNOTE: 1.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.

Guidance INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
performance, lying outwith the upper or lower control limits, is commented upon in the summary.
B
aselines for improvement adopt the methodology used in previous years, incorporating the most recent three years average performance as a starting point for improvement.
In addition, areas of police business not contained within the key performance indicators (such as fleet, health and safety, staff development) are reported on in dashboard style, subject to data being available, with a view to producing a balanced view of organisational activity. This promotes the diverse range of services that support operational policing.
For some KPIs a slight adjustment is applied to the three-year average target which may take account of developing trends or patterns over the last 36 months. The target may be adjusted up or down accordingly to ensure that it is both challenging and realistic in terms of achievement .
P
ublication 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.
Improvement Targets are agreed annually through a process of consultation with territorial commanders and heads of departments. These are ratified by the Force executive and Tayside Joint Police Board.

Summary of results: April - September 2012 1.
Groups 1 to 4 collectively evidenced a 6.9% decrease at the end of the first half of the year which was representative of 545 fewer crimes.
STANDARDS OF SERVICE
Two out of four customer satisfaction targets were achieved for the half year period April to September 2012, with particular attention drawn to the ‘updating the public’ indicator where results exceeded the 2012/13 target set at 65.0% by 4.4 percentage points finalising at 69.4%.
The graph below illustrates that, in the main, the pattern to the end of September has been similar to that of last year with the exception of the most recent result which showed a rise on the previous month, whilst last year the level of crime recorded had started to decline in September. Results to date this year have all been below the three year average and, with the exception of September, below commensurate levels last year.
Overall satisfaction at first contact evidenced a 1.5 percentage point improvement compared to the same period the previous year rising from 93.4% to 94.9% and exceeded the force target set at 94.0% by 0.9 percentage points.
Despite the lower levels of crime recorded this year, It is clear to see that the results from April to September 2012 increased month on month and the resulting trendline shows a sharp incline. Traditionally, levels of crime do fall in October, November and December and this would need to be the case in the coming months in order to curtail the upward trajectory of the trendline.
The proportion of respondents who were provided with the name of the person dealing with their enquiry fell marginally from 84.1% in 2011/12 to 83.8% in 2012/13, and failed to achieve the target set at 85.0%. Significant improvements were evident in relation to service users receiving an update on the progress of their enquiry increasing a statistically significant 9.5 percentage points to 69.4% compared to 59.9% in 2011/12. As previously stated, this result exceeded the target set for 2012/13 of 65.0%. In addition, further analysis undertaken on this indicator highlighted that 83.4% of customers who had reported a crime were updated on progress with their enquiry with a lesser proportion, 45.8%, who had made contact for other reasons, confirming that they had received an update.

The force achieved 4 out of 9 crime-related targets for recorded violent crime and vandalism, and detection rates for robbery and housebreaking.
Performance in relation to overall crime groups : • Violent crime (Group 1) - a decrease of 20.6%
(59 crimes)
The detection rate for groups 1 to 4 crimes (42.8%) failed to achieve target by 3.7 percentage points and a further 274 detections would have been required in order to achieve target.
• Crimes of indecency (Group 2) - a decrease of
2.7% (6 crimes) • Crimes of dishonesty (Group 3) - a decrease of
4.4% (220 crimes) • Malicious mischief, vandalism etc (Group 4) a reduction of 10.9% (260 crimes)
The following graph illustrates that the detection rate for Groups 1 to 4 crimes has fallen month on month to date this year—in contrast to the levels of crime (see above). In order to curb this downward trend, detections would need to rise in the coming months. By the end of September, the detection rate of 42.8% was 5.1 percentage points lower than at the same time last year.
(Data was sourced directly from the crime reporting system on 1 October 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.)

Considerably higher than average results recorded in Dundee LPA and Perth & Kinross LPA during April and May adversely affected the cumulative result to September. The graph at the bottom of the previous column illustrates the lower levels recorded in the summer months. Historically, the rise in October before numbers decline in November and December is also illustrated on the graph. Should the coming months follow this same pattern then the forthcoming results could achieve interim targets.

The community policing questions are replicated in both the Service Satisfaction and Public Perception surveys in order to compare perceptions of community policing from a service user perspective (those who have had direct contact with the police – Service Satisfaction survey) and as a member of the general public, who may not have had contact with the police (Public Perception survey).
The detection rate for violent crime of 81.1% was 3.9 percentage points below target and a further 9 detections would have been required to achieve target. Results between April and August 2012 had all been above target and it was only in September that the result fell below target.
For the purpose of this report, results quoted below represent the views of the general public (Public Perception). It should be noted that these results are based upon a sample size of 493 of 1800, a response rate of 27.4%.
64 robberies were recorded, exactly the same number as at the same time last year but 6 more than the interim target for September as current forecasts anticipate an increase in crime during the second half of the year.
•
The detection rate for vandalism (29.9%) was just 1.1 percentage point below target (22 detections). Results until August had been above the 31.0% target but fell in August and September to just below target. •
373 domestic housebreakings were recorded this year, just 6 crimes above the interim September target of 367. •

COMMUNITY POLICING

52.6% of residents thought that the current level of police patrols in their neighbourhood was ‘about right’ for their community needs. Conversely, 47.1% felt it was ‘too little’ and a minimal 0.3% believed that there was ‘too much’ patrolling. The majority of respondents, 74.3%, felt reassured when they witnessed an officer on patrol in their neighbourhood whilst 6.3% stated that it caused them concern. One in five respondents had no opinion either way. 11.6% of respondents confirmed that they were able to recognise their community officer either by name, sight or both. A further 14.8%, although unable to identify their local officer by sight or name, knew how to contact them should the need arise. 48.6% of residents stated that they would like to know the identify of the community officers who looked after their neighbourhood whilst, interestingly, a quarter (24.9%), did not feel there was a need for them to know their community officers. ‘Local newspapers’ were the preferred medium for respondents to be kept informed about actions being taken by officers in their communities.
Summary of results: April - September 2012 same time last year. At the end of September 2012 the average number of days lost per officer was 3.5 compared to 4.1 at the end of September last year.
55.9% of residents agreed that officers understood the issues that mattered in their neighbourhoods and 47.9% felt that officers were dealing with such matters. Overall, 62.2% of respondents had confidence in the police in their neighbourhood. Taking everything into account, 64.8% of the general public thought that community officers were doing a ‘good’ or ‘very good’ job in their area.

In total, 4379 days were lost through sickness absence, 33% were attributable to absences of 7 days or less, 18% through absences of between 8 and 28 days and the remaining 49% through absences of 29 days or more. The following graph illustrates the lower levels recorded this year when compared to the first six months of last year.
TELEPHONE RESPONSE
Between April and the end of September, 24,276 emergency calls were received and 89.4% of these were answered within 10 seconds. 124,795 nonemergency calls were received and 63.1% were answered within 40 seconds. The trend lines, based on monthly response time results for both emergency and non-emergency calls to date this year, are both downward facing ~ more acutely in the case of non-emergency calls as illustrated by the grey dotted lines on the chart below:

ABSENCE RATE: POLICE STAFF
This year, the Force Contact Centre (FCC) has experienced high levels of staff abstractions through sick leave. Staffing resilience had a negative impact on performance and, in an effort to improve overall resilience, a ‘Call Handling to Dispatch’ training migration plan was implemented in August and, as a result, the cascading results were halted in September.

abuse’ and ‘speeding’ changing position and ‘housebreaking’ replacing ‘antisocial behaviour’. In terms of prevalence of crime in local neighbourhoods, four in ten respondents, 40.2% (46.8%) cited ‘antisocial behaviour’ as a common problem in their local area, followed by dangerous/careless driving’, 32.1% (32.4%) and ‘vandalism/graffiti’, 31.7% (36.6%). This result indicates that opinions mirrored those of the previous year where ‘antisocial behaviour’ was deemed the most common issue blighting local communities.
The preceding graph illustrates that this year’s results not only exceeded those of last year but were also above the three year average.

ROAD CASUALTIES
Between April and the end of September, 10 adult fatalities were recorded, one more than at the same time last year. A further 79 people were seriously injured, 30.0% fewer than the 113 people seriously injured at the same time last year. Included in these figures were children ~ 14 had been seriously injured during the first six months of last year compared to 8 this year, a reduction of 43.0%. No children were killed during the first six months of either year.
34.7% (36.7%) 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’, 45.4% (48.8%), followed by ‘antisocial behaviour’, 37.7% (45.5%) and ‘dangerous/careless driving’, 26.0% (23.9%), were the major issues of concern. Feelings of safety walking alone in local neighbourhoods both during the day and after dark evidenced a decline in confidence in 2012/13 compared to 2011/12 whereby 93.2% (94.8%) of the public felt safe during the day and 58.1% (63.3%) felt safe after dark.
The total number of people killed or seriously injured (89) was 33 fewer than last year—a reduction of 27%. From April 2011, the force adopted the government’s Road Safety Framework Targets to the year 2020.
7.
A minority 1.9% of residents stated that a fear of crime prevented them from taking part in their everyday activities. This represented a reduction of 2.9 percentage points compared to the 4.8% who provided the same response in 2011/12.
PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF CRIME
Nine out of ten respondents in Tayside, 89.6%, perceived their neighbourhood to be a safe place to live. This was a reduction of 2.0 percentage points compared to the same period the previous year when 91.6% of respondents were of the same opinion.
Service Delivery 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 executed, every aspect of service delivery evidenced an improvement in performance compared to the same period the previous year. This was particularly apparent for ‘providing a visible presence’ which returned a statistically significant improvement of 12.6 percentage points, rising from 42.2% in 2011/12 to 54.8% in 2012/13. In addition, ‘dealing with antisocial behaviour’ also returned a statistically significant improvement in performance increasing 6.7 percentage points to 73.9% compared to 67.2% the previous year.
Whilst opinions remained fairly static between 2012/13 and 2011/12 in relation to those who felt that crime levels had remained the same during the period – six out of ten respondents - a 2.2 percentage point improvement was recorded for those who felt that crime had decreased rising from 13.3% to 15.5% and similarly, a minimal 1.3 percentage point reduction in those who felt that crime had increased, falling from 25.0% to 23.7%. The main issues of concern to residents when asked unprompted were ‘drug dealing/drug abuse’, 18.4% (14.3%), closely followed by ‘speeding’, 16.7% (17.1%) and ‘housebreaking’, 9.9% (10.5%). This provides a similar representation of concerns as in the previous year with ‘drug dealing/drug

SECTION 3: STRATHMARTINE/COLDSIDE
TARGETED COMMUNITY ACTIVITY
Main areas of public concern: drug dealing/ abuse, vandalism/graffiti and housebreaking
Inspector Steve Main said: ‘This reporting period saw noticeable reductions in violent crime and vandalism which was consistent with overall reductions in crime and high level performance throughout the Dundee Local Policing Area.
CRIME Highlights • Violent crime reduced by 40.5% (17 fewer victims) STANDARDS OF SERVICE Highlights • 84.6% of customers received an update following their contact with the police to report a crime—best result across LPA
Extra high visibility patrols were deployed in areas identified as suffering from increased domestic housebreaking which led to the apprehension of two well known housebreakers. This issue remains a priority for police and partners as it still features as one of the main areas of public concern. I will, therefore, continue to direct resources and work with partners in order to tackle the issue.’
TARGETED COMMUNITY ACTIVITY Inspector Paul McCord said: ‘As a team, we have strived to keep all members of our community updated and, as a result of the hard work, we have achieved improved results. Our officers are continually reminded that we must provide a service to the public that they ask and demand of us and it was very pleasing to see that we kept them informed by updating them with progress on their enquiries or complaints.
SECTION 2: LOCHEE/WEST END Main areas of public concern: drug dealing/drug abuse, vandalism/graffiti and housebreaking CRIME Highlights • Reduction of 39.5% in crimes of violence (15 fewer victims) Performance alert! • 22.2% increase in domestic housebreaking
I ask our officers to communicate effectively with their community and likewise I would reiterate the need for our community to communicate with us. Yet again our customer satisfaction figures are very good.
(* 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 to September 2012 survey rated their neighbourhood as a safe place in which to live—best result across LPA • 92.1% of respondents stated that they felt safe walking alone in their neighbourhood during the day—best result across LPA
As the summer comes to a close I am very pleased overall with our efforts and performance but acknowledge that we still need to continue these efforts. In particular we shall continue to concentrate on targeting those individuals who repeatedly commit crime and disrupt their activities at every opportunity.
TARGETED COMMUNITY ACTIVITY
Our two main areas of focus will be targeting those that break in to our homes and also those that cause misery and disrupt the quality of live of others through their misuse of drugs. We have had good results in both these areas but as winter arrives, we will continue our efforts and ask the community to work with us by providing information and support to our officers as they guard, watch and patrol the local community.’
Inspector Kevin Williams said:
‘I was pleased to see that we sustained improvements in many areas of our recorded performance. There were 171 fewer group 1- 4 crimes recorded, which was a significant reduction compared to the same period last year, down by almost 20%. Work will continue to improve in specific areas, especially in our efforts to prevent and detect housebreaking crimes in our area.
SECTION 4: NORTH EAST/BROUGHTY FERRY
It was reassuring to see from the standards of service and public perception results that we had made considerable improvements in many areas of our service delivery. There will be a continued emphasis on this in the coming months.
Main areas of public concern: drug dealing/drug abuse, speeding and youths causing annoyance CRIME Highlights • Reduction in crimes of violence of 56.1% (23 fewer victims) - best decrease across LPA • A 35.5% decrease in vandalism (119 fewer crimes) - best decrease across LPA
My hope for the second half of the recording year is that police officers and staff who work in this area will continue to receive the support and assistance of the local communities and partner agencies, as this endorsement is vital as we work towards our common goals.’
DETECTION RATE Highlights • Improvement of 13.3 percentage points in the detection rate for violent crime from 75.6% to 88.9% Performance alert! • 23.2 percentage point decrease in the detection rate for domestic housebreaking from 50.0% to 26.8%, the lowest result across LPA STANDARDS OF SERVICE Highlights • Increase of 35.2 percentage points from 44.2% to 79.4% for customers who received an update on the progress of their enquiry— best result across LPA PUBLIC PERCEPTION Highlights • 89.7% of residents who responded to the (* Results should be viewed in conjunction with sample size.

Policing Angus: Community Summaries ~ April to September 2012 STANDARDS OF SERVICE Highlights • A significant improvement of 34.3 percentage points in the percentage of customers who received an update on the progress of their enquiry from 37.1% to 71.4%
SECTION 1: FORFAR & KIRRIEMUIR Main areas of public concern: drug dealing/drug abuse, youths causing annoyance, speeding CRIME Performance alert! • Increase in crimes of violence from 9 to 23—largest increase across LPA • Increase in crimes of dishonesty of 22.3% (63 more crimes)
TARGETED COMMUNITY ACTIVITY Acting Inspector Hamish Gray said: ‘The towns of Montrose and Brechin continued to experience vandalisms, particularly at weekends, some committed by children, but mostly by older people making their way home from licensed premises. To address this, over the coming weeks my officers will continue to carry out high visibility patrols in the most affected areas, and will also take every opportunity to engage with licencees and barstaff in an effort to identify those responsible.
STANDARDS OF SERVICE Performance alert! • 66.7% of customers expressed satisfaction relating to receiving an update following their contact to report a crime—lowest result across LPA TARGETED COMMUNITY ACTIVITY
Despite the increase in crime figures in certain areas, it was very heartening to see the high levels of satisfaction and confidence in the police still being expressed by the public. I have no doubt that this is a direct result of the significant efforts being made by officers to ensure that members of the public are provided with regular updates on the progress of the enquiry.
Inspector Ally Robertson said: ‘We experienced a challenging period and the statistics showed clearly a rise in incidents and crimes. What was also evident is that our officers detected offenders in increasing amounts. Overall, general public satisfaction was on the increase.
Over the autumn and winter months, Montrose and Brechin officers will carry out foot patrols as part of the ‘After Dark’ initiative in an effort to identify potential opportunities for thieves, and bring these to the attention of the occupant or resident so as to prevent them from becoming a victim of crime.
Forfar and Kirriemuir officers are committed to the policing style of addressing public needs and expectations and working hard to ensure this is a safe place in which to live in, work in and visit by being active and visible in the community.’
The ‘Performance Alert’ in respect of the increase in the number of vandalisms, and the dip in the detection rate for Group 1-4 crimes is well noted. However, I am pleased to report that as a result of good work carried out by our Community officers, a specific group of youths has been identified as being responsible for many of the vandalism and associated antisocial behaviour complaints in and around the centre of Montrose, and I am hopeful that the positive action already taken against the members of this group will result in a considerable reduction in the number of these types of complaints.
SECTION 2: MONTROSE & BRECHIN Main areas of public concern: speeding, drug dealing/abuse, vandalism/graffiti & youths causing annoyance CRIME Performance alert! • 35.1% increase in vandalism from 131 to 177 •
I also note that local residents are concerned about speeding, as well as careless and dangerous driving, and to address these issues Montrose and Brechin officers will be carrying out roadside speed detection work at the already identified locations to address the former, and there are plans to carry out
DETECTION RATE Performance alert! • Group 1 to 4 detection rate (42.6%) 8.9 percentage points below last year (51.4%) against a 12.9% increase in crime recorded
(* Results should be viewed in conjunction with sample size. Changes in results may appear inflated due to the small number of respondents involved.)

joint operations with Road Policing personnel to address the latter.’
Efforts were made to ensure that all people who came into contact with local officers were provided with a name and means of contacting that officer again, if required. This resulted in an improvement in this recorded area of satisfaction. However, it is clear that officers must continue to improve when providing updates to members of the public regarding crime and non-crime enquiries. Efforts will be made in the forthcoming weeks to concentrate upon improving this area of performance.
SECTION 3: ARBROATH Main areas of public concern: drug dealing/drug abuse, housebreaking, antisocial behaviour & speeding CRIME Highlights • All measures of recorded crime had either reduced or stayed the same. Overall, an 11.5% (or 69 crime) reduction for groups 1 to 4
In the immediate future, officers will concentrate on proactive patrols in residential and commercial areas, in order to deter crime linked to the darker evenings. Officers will also be patrolling shopping areas in the run up to Christmas to deter and detect shoplifting and other crime, and offer reassurance to the public.’
STANDARDS OF SERVICE Highlights • 96.0% of customers who responded to the survey stated that they were satisfied with the service provided by the police.
SECTION 4: CARNOUSTIE Main areas of public concern: speeding, antisocial behaviour, dangerous driving & youths causing annoyance
PUBLIC PERCEPTION Highlights • 77.8% of residents who responded to the survey thought that the crime rate in their neighbourhood had remained the same or improved over the past year—a significant 31.9 percentage point improvement on the 45.9% recorded at the same time last year. • 25.1% of residents said they were concerned at becoming a victim of crime in their neighbourhood, a significant improvement of 32.5 percentage points on the result at the same time last year (57.6%)
CRIME Highlights • Reduction of 28.3% in groups 1 to 4 (62 crimes) - best reduction across LPA • Reduction of 33.0% in crimes of dishonesty (34 crimes) - best reduction across LPA
DETECTION RATE Performance alert! • Deterioration in the detection rate for groups 1 to 4 from 33.8 to 26.8% - lowest detection rate across LPA • Deterioration in the detection rate for vandalism from 36.0% to 23.3% - lowest detection rate across LPA (However, this had been 18.8% at the end of August)
TARGETED COMMUNITY ACTIVITY Inspector Adrian Robertson said: ‘It was pleasing to see that, in Arbroath Section, crime levels continued to fall in every category bar one, and even there the level was static. This was due to the efforts made by local officers to prevent and deter crime through proactive and highly visible patrols, providing security advice to the public and taking appropriate enforcement action against offenders.
STANDARDS OF SERVICE Highlights • Best results across LPA for measures relating to updating the public and overall customer experience
I was also pleased to note that the prevalence of crimes of indecency in the area reduced by 50% from the previous year (which recorded a spike in this crime area). A great deal of effort was made to be active within the night time economy in order to deter this type of crime. In addition, education and advice was provided to young people and

awareness game which they hope will educate young people locally.
• 12.5% of residents said they were con-
cerned at becoming a victim of crime in their neighbourhood—best result across LPA TARGETED COMMUNITY ACTIVITY Inspector Fiona Jarrett said: ‘Once again, I was pleased to see a reduction across all crime groups in Carnoustie and Monifieth. However, I am still disappointed at the detection rates and will again look at how to improve the situation. It was also highlighted in the results that the vast majority of the people surveyed were happy with the standard of service that my officers are providing and a large proportion of respondents felt quite safe walking alone in their neighbourhood after dark. As the nights draw in, we are launching the ‘after dark’ initiative which will give the public suggestions of how to keep themselves and their properties safer over the winter period and we are trying to set up more activities for the youths in the area in order to keep them off the streets.’
SAFER COMMUNITIES September update Sergeant Fergus Storrier said: For Safer Communities (Angus) Safe Angus ~ a partnership approach co-ordinated by the Joint Services Team in Angus, ran again in September with hundreds of Primary Pupils attending the interactive day which taught young people to keep safe in a number of environments from Road Safety to Fire Safety. The Friday Night Project started its next session at the Saltire Centre in Arbroath with nearly 200 young people attending every night. The project opens up sport, arts, and youth related activity to local youngsters and has resulted in a clear reduction in youth calls and other youth related disorder in the North End of Arbroath for several years now. The Safer Communities Department in Angus worked with Abertay University Computer Games Students to design a new road safety/ alcohol

satisfaction with the service of Tayside Police—best result across LPA PUBLIC PERCEPTION Highlights • Only 11.5% of respondents stated that they were concerned at becoming a victim of crime in their neighbourhood—best result across LPA TARGETED COMMUNITY ACTIVITY Inspector Julie Robertson commented: "North and West Perthshire continues to be a low crime area but percentage crime increases can appear dramatic when we are dealing with such a small number of crimes. One area of concern from the figures was the increase in Domestic Housebreakings when compared with last year from 1 to 27. This increase was due to a series of break-ins to caravans in the Pitlochry and Dunkeld areas. The culprit for those break ins was arrested and a report submitted to the Procurator Fiscal. Our detection rate for Housebreaking has gone up to 70.4 % which is a remarkable achievement and is testament to the commitment and dedication of local officers. I am also pleased to see officers continue to focus on providing a good quality of service to the public which is reflected in the excellent overall satisfaction rating given by our customers."

PUBLIC PROTECTION
P
ublic Protection is the foremost aim of Tayside Police and protecting the public from harm by working with partners is the basis of the Community Priorities. The force is committed to providing this protection to all members of the community. Contained within this section is information pertaining to some specific areas of Public Protection to which the force dedicates considerable resources which include highly specialised police officers and staff. These dedicated members of the force constantly strive to ensure the most vulnerable in our society are protected and can live their lives free from harm.
35
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 five months of 2012/13 the number of Domestic Abuse incidents recorded each month was higher than the number recorded at the same time last year with the exception of September when the level was slightly lower.
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.

Taking all months into consideration, at the end of the first half of 2012-13 the total of 2548 incidents was 12% higher than the 2276 incidents reported at the end of September last year.
Tayside Police respond to many instances of a domestic nature throughout the course of a year. All domestic abuse incidents are recorded to ensure an appropriate response is initiated.
Of the 2548 incidents reported this year, 1148 involved one or more substantiated crime and the remaining 1400 were the subject of a Domestic Concern Report.
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.
Looking at the incidents which resulted in one or more substantiated crime, 429 (37%) involved a “repeat” victim. Last year at the end of September this figure was 36%.
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 person’s health and wellbeing and that of their children. Examples of criminal behaviour would be assaults, vandalism, threatening or abusive behaviour, fire-raising etc.
Where a crime was recorded, 713 perpetrators of domestic abuse were reported to the Procurator Fiscal (62%). This was an improvement on the 56% of perpetrators reported to the Procurator Fiscal at the same time last year. In 30% of all incidents (those involving one or more substantive crime and those warranting a domestic concern report) alcohol was a contributory factor. Last year this figure was lower at 22%.
When domestic abuse is reported to the police we will work in partnership with specialist agencies including Barnardos, Women’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 chart illustrates the comparisons month by month and shows that in the second half of 201112 the prevalence of alcohol was much greater than in the earlier part of the year.

Crimes of Indecency This crime group (referred to as Group 2) involves sexual offences. Some of these crimes have been committed prior to the current reporting period although all offences are recorded at the time they are reported. This can mean that some of the data reported each month could contain historical crimes. In addition, as evidence is discovered during investigations multiple crimes can be detected. As such, the level of crime recorded each month is variable.

Registered Sex Offenders The list of Registered Sex Offenders is broken down into the number of those in the community and the number of those in custody. Registered Sex Offenders in the community are those who have either completed their prison sentence and have been released into the community or are serving their sentence within the community. These people required to be monitored as registered sex offenders.
Between April and September 2012, 3 people were charged with this offence, exactly the same number as last year.
Drugs Supply of Class A Drugs
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 risk, high risk, medium risk, low risk or not assessed.
The chart below shows the number of crimes involved in the supplying of Class A drugs. This can be actual supply of drugs, possession with intent to supply drugs, importing or manufacturing of drugs, but does not include the charge of possession (for personal use) of drugs. Tayside

This is a volatile area on which to report. In some months there may appear to be very little activity and then there may be a large number of crimes reported at the one time. The nature of this area of business often involves many months of preparation, surveillance and co-operation with other forces, perhaps leading to a successful operation where several perpetrators are charged with numerous offences.

PUBLIC PROTECTION 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. The Home Office PREVENT Strategy was refocussed in 2011 and now contains three objectives: to respond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat from those who promote it; to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure that they are given appropriate advice and support; and to work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalisation that we need to address.
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 September 2012 , 66 Counter Terrorism briefings were delivered across Tayside and a total of 516 non-police personnel were in attendance.

RANDOM DRUG TESTING A programme of testing of 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.
