Strategic policing requirement

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:

1. The process to assess, plan, prepare and respond each threat type;
2. The governance and reporting mechanisms to ensure the Force is fulfilling its responsibilities for tackling the seven threats; and
3. 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.
