The Scottish Policing Performance Framework – An Overview The Scottish Policing Performance Framework (SPPF) was launched across Scotland in April 2007. The SPPF is the product of significant collaborative working between the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland (ACPOS), the eight Scottish Police Forces, the Scottish Government, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary for Scotland (HMICS), Audit Scotland, the Scottish Police Authorities Conveners’ Forum and the Scottish Police Services Authority.

The key aims of the SPPF are: • •

•

•

To develop a single suite of performance measures which reflects the breadth and variety of policing activity across Scotland; To create a framework which supports managers throughout the police service in understanding, reflecting on and improving performance so that forces can provide more effective policing within Scottish communities; To provide a mechanism for improved accountability at local and national levels through the publication of consistent and transparent performance information, which will support the Scottish Government, Police Authorities and the general public in their understanding of policing performance; and To provide a basis for robust performance management and, in turn, performance improvement.

The framework covers four main areas of policing: • • • •

Service Response Public Reassurance & Community Safety Criminal Justice & Tackling Crime Sound Governance & Efficiency

In each of the four areas, national objectives have been set. The performance indicators contained within these areas are divided into Inputs (the resource committed), Activities (the activity or process used) and Outcomes (what is achieved).

There are a number of context measures featured. Context measures are not measures of performance, but are designed to provide contextual information about the demands placed on the force and the environment in which it operates.

It is commonly acknowledged within the police service in Scotland that effective policing is based upon sound partnerships. This is reflected in the national objectives. In addition, there are a number of partnership indicators within SPPF that rely upon joint collaboration for successful delivery.

The SPPF structure supports the measurement and reporting of local priorities in accordance with the principles of Best Value. By incorporating SPPF outcomes into performance reports, forces can ensure greater consistency and transparency when reporting performance information to Police Authorities and the public.

Data contained in this report This document shows Tayside Police performance results against high-level objectives and supporting key performance indicators contained within the Scottish Policing Performance Framework.

All data is sourced from force databases. These figures are regularly used; for example, as management information reports, to inform divisional tasking and co-ordinating activity and to provide information to Tayside Joint Police Board and the public.

Inter-relationship with Single Outcome Agreements and the Scottish Strategic Assessment Scottish Government/Single Outcome Agreements The purpose is to focus Government and public services on creating a more successful country, with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish, through increasing sustainable economic growth.

Strategic objectives are: • • • • •

Wealthier and Fairer - enable businesses and people to increase their wealth and more people to share fairly in that wealth.

Healthier - help people to sustain and improve their health, especially in disadvantaged communities, ensuring better, local and faster access to health care.

Safer and Stronger - help local communities to flourish, becoming stronger, safer place to live, offering improved opportunities and a better quality of life.

Smarter - expand opportunities for Scots to succeed from nurture through to life long learning ensuring higher and more widely shared achievements.

Greener - improve Scotland's natural and built environment and the sustainable use and enjoyment of it.

To enable the Scottish Government to meet those strategic objectives each local authority has signed up to a Single Outcome Agreement (SOA). SOAs set out how each local authority and partners will work in the future towards improving national outcomes for the public in a way that reflects local circumstances and priorities.

The SPPF complements and supports the delivery of the Scottish Government’s Strategic Objectives. It contains the associated national indicators that relate to criminal justice.

Scottish Strategic Assessment Each year the Scottish Police Service under ACPOS develops a Scottish Strategic Assessment and this explains the strategy for the police in Scotland for the year ahead. The document draws on information provided by all the Scottish forces and law enforcement agencies as well as information from key partner agencies including the Scottish Government, Local Authorities and the public. It is through this assessment that the risk regarding crime and disorder threats impacting on Scottish communities is prioritised.

The very high risk crime and disorder priorities identified by the 2009/10 Scottish Strategic Assessment were: • • • • • •

Public Protection Terrorism Antisocial Behaviour Serious and Organised Crime Groups Drugs Violence

Outcome-based performance measures reflecting these areas are either currently reported in the SPPF or being developed for future iterations.
