Statutory Performance Indicators (SPIs)
SPIs are used to help measure how well a service is performing. They are used by public service organisations such as, for example, Local Authorities and the Fire Service. The SPIs for policing are set out by the Home Office and are used by Police Forces throughout England and Wales.
SPIs are established by Order (statutory instrument) under Section 4 of the Local Government Act 1999. In Legal terms, SPIs are ‘best value performance indicators’ in all but name and should be treated as such.
The Policing Plan targets proposed this year reflect the priorities and outcomes from the Policing London Strategy. This represents a shift in how the Metropolitan Police Authority will assess the performance of the police service. Performance across a wide range of objectives and indicators will be monitored and maintained.
These are the audited Statutory Performance Indicators for the MPS for 2006-07.
The table also shows results for 2004-05, 2005-06 and specific targets for 2006-07 where applicable.
