Neighbourhood Policing

Decision of PCC: Partly assured

Meeting date: to

Reason of Decision:

The PCC was partly assured by the evidence submitted by the Force.

The PCC commends the positive work that has been undertaken by the Force to reduce crime rates, effectively manage demand and increase the resilience of NPTs.

However, work is ongoing in terms of the delivery and implementation of the NPG and the PCC will continue to monitor progress in this area.

Topic: Neighbourhood Policing

Rationale:

In receiving information on neighbourhood policing, the PCC was looking to:

  • Seek assurance that abstraction rates and crime rates have reduced, demand is being effectively managed and resilience has increased; and
  • Gain knowledge of the local approach that is being taken to prepare for the implementation of the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee (NPG).

Questions:

  1. Since the Scrutiny Meeting held on 11 June 2024, which considered the topic of Neighbourhood Policing, what work has the force undertaken to increase the resilience of the NPTs and how has this work impacted on abstraction rates, crime rates and demand?
  2. What action is being taken by the Force to prepare for the implementation of the NPG and how will the Force ensure NPTs are protected, so they remain focussed on serving communities?
