Date of Meeting: 9 July 2024
Decision of PCC: Assured
Rationale:
In receiving information on the Strategic Policing Requirement, the PCC was looking to:
- Hold the Chief Constable to account for the delivery of functions associated with the SPR;
- Seek assurance that the Force has an effective and proportionate response to each of the national threats; and
- Formulate the Police and Crime Plan and the Annual Report and pay due regard to the SPR threat types in both documents..
Questions:
What is the Force’s assessment of its ability and preparedness to fulfil the requirements of the SPR?
The response should include details of the following:
- The process to assess, plan, prepare and respond each threat type;
- The governance and reporting mechanisms to ensure the Force is fulfilling its responsibilities for tackling the seven threats; and
- The threat types that have been identified as the most significant risks locally and the response required to fully combat these risks.
Meeting Outcome:
The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) was assured by the evidence submitted by the Force.
