Annual review of the schedule of fees and charges

Report: 08
Date: 18 March 2010
By: Director of Resources on behalf of the Commissioner

Summary

This report sets out information on Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) fees and charges. It also provides details of charges for the special services of police. There is also an explanation in respect of the current status of charging for the detention of prisoners in MPS cell accommodation.

A. Recommendations

That

1. Members review and approve the attached schedule of fees and charges; and
2. Members are asked to note and support the Association of Chief Police Officers’ (ACPO) negotiations based upon the proposed charges for the provision of MPS cell accommodation to the UK Border Agency (UKBA). The MPS charges will be used to inform the ACPO discussions with the UKBA on their proposals for a national flat rate within a National police cell charging framework between UKBA and ACPO.

B. Supporting information

1. Section 18 of the Police Act 1996 (Supply of Goods and Services) provides the MPS, as with other police forces, with the legislative tool to charge for the supply of goods and services other than police officers. Section 25 of the Police Act 1996 (Provision of Special Services) allows forces to charge for special police services which they may provide in respect of the provision of police officers at the request of a third party.

2. The schedule of general fees and charges for the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) can be classified under a number of specific categories. They are:

• MPS calculated fees and charges;
• Fees as advised by other Agencies;
• Fees and charges as detailed within statute or legislation.

Schedule of Fees and Charges

3. The range of fees/charges under the category of MPS calculated fees/charges include charges for the provision of copy documents, photographs, videotapes (and other means of recording video imagery i.e. DVDs) etc. required for civil proceedings and interviewing a police officer or member of the police staff in respect of Civil Court proceedings.

4. There are a number of charges, which are advised by other agencies such as charges for the taking of fingerprints of the public in relation to visa applications as advised by the ACPO National Fingerprint Board.

5. Additionally, the Schedule includes charges set by statute or legislation such as the fee to be paid for the issue of a pedlars’ certificate as stated within the Pedlars’ Certificates (Variation of Fee) Order 1985.

6. Appendix 1 to this report provides a comprehensive list of the fees and charges as per the above categories. The charges will be effective from 1 April 2010 unless otherwise stated due to the impact of legislation.

Review of Charges for 2010 - 2011

7. ACPO recommends that the nature and level of such charges should be re-assessed at three yearly intervals to review their continuing relevance. ACPO recommends that outside of the full review programme, forces should apply inflation to the range of charges.

8. During 2010/11 Finance Services will be working with Boroughs and the Central Operations Traffic Criminal Justice Unit to strengthen the capture and collation by these Units of the number of requests for the different types of copy documentation. This information will form the background to the full review of such charges to be undertaken during 2011/12.

9. Accordingly it is recommended that the charges for the reproduction of copy documentation should be increased from 1 April 2010 to recognise the general assumptions made for pay and price inflation included in the supporting financial information in the Policing London Business Plan 2010/13 namely the agreed pay award of 2.6% for officer pay, 2.5% for police staff and 2.5% for non pay for 2010/11.

10. Table 1 provides a summary of the charges for copy documentation for 20010/11 as compared to charges in 2009/10 identified through the aforementioned review.

Table 1 – Charges for common items – Comparative figures

Charges for Special Services of Police

11. On many occasions, the MPS provide policing services on private premises, such as sporting stadia and also in the provision of assistance for activities including filmmaking and traffic surveys. These policing services fall within the remit of Section 25 of the Police Act 1996.

12. The MPS make charges for these special police services, which are calculated to recover full costs. The charges include daily rates and hourly rates for police ranks up to and including Assistant Commissioner rank. There are additional charges in relation to other resources utilised on such events such as daily costs for police staff, including drivers, communication officers, daily costs for police horses, dogs and vehicle costs.

13. They incorporate a general administrative overhead recovery charge to recover non-pay and support costs and an overtime premium to reflect, in respect of Constables and Sergeants, that on many occasions, the policing resource is in addition to the normal duty time resource required to police the community.

14. Table 2 and Table 3 provide a comparison between current hourly charges for special services of police for Sergeants and Constables and proposed charges from 1 April 2010 under specific circumstances.

Table 2 – Charges for special services of police - Constable

Table 3 – Charges for special services of police - Sergeant

Special Constabulary

15. Specials are generally deployed on “small event” policing or to augment policing at larger events. They incur a range of costs for uniform / equipment, travel and subsistence, training and the use of police vehicles and control equipment. There are no direct employable costs.

16. Although a special constable has the powers of a constable, the actual cost base for specials is demonstrably lower than regular officers. To reflect this, the charge for special services for a special constable is 50% of that for the equivalent rank for regular officers. The inclusion of such a charge is in line with a recommendation from the ACPO Guidance on Charging for Police Services.

Dogs and Horses

17. MPS Finance Services have undertaken a review of the cost of the provision of special police services by horses and dogs during 2009/10 to establish the full current costs as part of the normal three year review cycle.

Police Horses

18. The result of the review has identified a charge for the provision of special police services by a horse which is significantly lower than previously stated. Partly this is due to the reduction in the costs of uniforms and stables (accommodation). However the major impact has been the proposed removal of costs in respect of the time (approximately 4 hours) spent by mounted officers in the care, exercise and training of the horses each day.

19. It has been recognised, in discussion with Public Order Mounted Branch, that this time is part of the normal duties of the officer and as such constitutes core policing. It is believed that there is no justification for including the mounted officer’s time on these activities as part of the charge in respect of special police services of a police horse. This approach is in line with ACPO recommendations on charging for special police services in the ACPO Guidance on Charging for Police Services.

20. The result of this reduction is to reduce the charge per day from £441.65 for each day or part of a day to £158.35 for each day or part with effect from 1 April 2010. The cost of the mounted officer will be charged separately at the appropriate level of charge for special police services.

Police Dogs

21. The review of the charge for the special police services of a dog has identified the cost of the dog as £58.83 per day or part of day. The cost of the dog handler will be charged separately at the appropriate level of charge for special police services.

22. The current charge for the special police services of a dog is £59.30 which had been increased year on year by inflation since the last review. Given the outcome of the review has identified a charge lower than that established by the use of inflation, it would appear appropriate to reduce the charge to the review value of £58.83.

23. These charges should be considered in light of there being historically minimal charging for police horses and to date no charging for members of the special constabulary, police dogs and vehicles deployed either fully or partially within the ‘policing footprint’ of football stadia. This has been standard practice as they were deployed outside of stadiums, where legally the police could only charge for those resources deployed inside of the ground. Additionally members of the special constabulary, would not be deployed inside stadia, as deployments require public order trained officers. That position is changing as detailed in the following paragraphs in respect of ACPO work around football charging arrangements.

Football Charging Arrangements

24. During 2009 ACPO produced guidance on how police forces should approach the cost recovery surrounding the policing of football. This was in light of Justice’s Mann ruling from the court case between Greater Manchester Police and Wigan Athletic Football Club in 2007 that when determining the provision of special police services, the location of where the special police services is provided is important but not determinative.

25. The Wigan ruling is considered to have provided police forces with the facility to charge for special police services for the deployment of resources on land and highways that the club has “control over” as part of the match outside of the physical confines of the Stadium (public roads, car parks etc.) which represents the ‘policing footprint’.

26. Finance Services and Central Operations Public Order OCU are actively progressing the ACPO approach in discussions with the London Football Clubs and Wembley National Stadium Limited. The outcome of these discussions, may allow, in due course, charges for special services to be applied for other resources deployed to the event such as the horses, dogs and the transport to take police officers to and from the stadia.

27. Appendix 2 to this report details the full schedule of charges for the special services of police to be introduced on the 1 April 2010 once approved by the Finance and Resources Committee on 18 March 2010.

Charges for Detention of Prisoners in MPS Cell Accommodation

28. During 2009/10, Finance Services have reviewed the bases for charges for the detention of prisoners in MPS cell accommodation principally those used by the Prison Service (through the auspices of the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) under Operation Safeguard) and by the UKBA in terms of immigration detainees.

Operation Safeguard National Framework Agreement

29. In February 2009, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) produced a National Framework Agreement (NFA) which set out the governance surrounding the formal arrangements for use of police cells to accommodate prisoners when Prison Service accommodation has reached its operational capacity (Operation Safeguard). It includes a section on pricing which details the protocols surrounding the financial reimbursement and control in respect of these arrangements. The agreement set out two levels of charge: Normal and Premium:

• Normal charges are ranged between £250 and £350 based on time and a half overtime rates for staff including amenities, medical cover and all other costs.
• Premium charges are not to exceed £400 available for 7 days based on double time overtime rates for staff including amenities, medical cover and all other costs.

30. Normal charges are to apply when activation of cell accommodation is requested by NOMS with more than seven working days notice. Premium charges would apply if Operation Safeguard was activated with less than seven days notice.

31. Alternatively, NOMS can make bi-lateral agreements with forces that cannot provide the service at the rates set in the NFA. MPS Finance Services and TP – Emerald Directorate have discussed this option with NOMS.

32. Charges for the use of MPS cell accommodation from 1 April 2010 have been identified and they are set out below:-

• Category A- £398 per prisoner per night
• Category B- £377 per prisoner per night

33. The Category A Operation Safeguard charge would apply when a prisoner has been accommodated in a MPS cell. The Category B Operation Safeguard charge would apply when NOMS have pre-booked the cell accommodation but subsequently no prisoners have been accommodated. The charge is lower on the basis that although MPS staff have been deployed to supervise prisoners, as the prisoners did not arrive, there is no consumption of meals and other consumable items.

34. TP - Emerald Directorate are prepared to offer a number of cells per day in the event that Operation Safeguard is invoked. The staff resources deployed in the various custody suites to be utilised for Operation Safeguard will be charged at a time and half overtime rate.

35. If there is a need to provide Forensic Medical Examiners (FMEs) and the services of MPS interpreters then these charges will be in addition to the Category A and B charges indicated above. An average charge of £65 per hour has been identified for the use of FMEs in examining Safeguard prisoners based on the range of charges agreed in the MPS Contract with its FMEs.

36. An MPS interpreter is charged at £236 which is a one off charge based on the average payment made to an interpreter during 2008/09. The requirement for interpreting services for Safeguard prisoners is not significant.

37. NOMS have given preliminary agreement to these charges. If the MPA Finance and Resource Committee approve the charges, MPS Finance Services and TP – Emerald Directorate would progress the bi-lateral agreement with NOMS.

UK Border Agency

38. Schedule 2 of the Immigration Act 1971, which determines the maximum detention time permissible, allows for a detention in police cells for a five day period and up to seven days where deportation arrangements have been made,

39. The current rates used to charge UKBA for the detention of their prisoners are based on a scale of charges that dates from April 2004. As has been reported previously in the Annual Review of Fees and Charges report to MPA Finance and Resources Committee in March 2009, the charges for the detention of UKBA prisoners have been maintained due to ongoing difficulties in reaching agreement with the now defunct Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) and more recently UKBA.

40. IND were, over a number of years, looking to reduce the level of charges upon them for the use of police cell accommodation, which police forces, including the MPS, were not prepared to accept. IND, and then UKBA, looked to develop a national solution by engaging with ACPO.

41. Despite the best efforts of all sides, no national solution could be reached principally because, unlike IND, UKBA is divided into a number of regions. Therefore it became incumbent upon each Force to make their own arrangements with their own regional UKBA establishment.

42. In order to ensure a robust starting position for the MPS when commencing discussions with UKBA, Finance Services have undertaken a full scale review of these charges during 2009 in order to calculate the current cost to the MPS of housing UKBA detainees. As part of the review, custody suites were visited in order to account for the full scope of resources and costs borne by the MPS in housing immigration detainees.

Recent Developments

43. The paragraphs below under the heading “Proposed Charges” set out the MPS proposed charges. However, during January 2010, ACPO have promulgated a discussion document they have received from UKBA to all forces on the development of a national police cell charging framework between UKBA and ACPO.

National Police Cell Charging Framework between UKBA and ACPO

44. UKBA are looking to develop a fixed cost model which will cover costs for all reasonable staffing levels and all ancillary costs including translation and health care provision with an initial proposal from UKBA on the adoption of a flat rate of £200 as a national charge for use of police cells in relation to the detention of immigration detainees.

45. The UKBA proposals in respect of a national police cell charging framework were discussed at the February 2010 ACPO National Custody Forum meeting chaired by Assistant Chief Constable Gordon Scobbie, West Midlands Police, who is the ACPO Lead for the Pre Trial and Custody Portfolio Project, attended by representatives from the nine ACPO regions. The initial ACPO view is that the proposed flat rate is not reflective of the actual cost of the service provided to UKBA by police forces.

46. ACPO are asking forces for comment and Finance Services in conjunction with TP - Immigration Directorate will be responding on the basis that the charges in Tables 4 and 5 below reflect the actual cost of the service that is provided to UKBA by the MPS.

47. Given these developments, Members are asked to note and support negotiations based upon the proposed charges for the use of MPS cell accommodation. Members will be provided a further update in due course as the ACPO/UKBA discussions are progressed.

Proposed Charges

48. The proposed scale of charges reflect staff time, consumable items, meals and cell accommodation. Costs for FMEs and interpreters are additional to this depending on usage. A 5% administration charge is then added to all costs that are non-staff costs to make up the final charge to UKBA.

49. Table 4 below compares the proposed charges for a UKBA detainee in MPS cell accommodation with those currently being applied from April 2004.

Table 4 - Charge for Normal Detention of Immigration Offenders

Reason for the Decrease in Charge

50. The new proposed charges are an overall decrease on previous rates that have been used since April 2004. This is partly due to revaluation of the levels of staff time used in supervising UKBA detainees based on the findings of the 2009 review undertaken by Finance Services in consultation with TP - Immigration Directorate.

51. Furthermore, the new charges do not include FME nor Interpreters costs. Previous rates from 2004 assumed that each prisoner saw a FME in the first twenty four hours of custody, and this cost was an integral part of the charge. The new charges omit this cost however, with the potential that, if a detainee does see a FME, this cost can be added as an extra on top of the scale of charges. This is based on new hourly rates, at an average of £65 per hour, that are paid to FMEs which can be added on as an actual cost as it happens.

52. An MPS Interpreter is charged at £236, which is a one off charge based on the average payment made to an interpreter during 2008/09. It should be noted however that UKBA will be given the opportunity to use their own interpreters or FMEs before they are provided with an opportunity to use MPS resources.

Charges for Constant Watch

53. Finance Services are proposing, for the first time, to introduce charges that acknowledge that a percentage of UKBA detainees, between 5% and 10%, are placed under a state of supervision called ‘constant watch’.

54. A detainee may be placed under constant watch if the Custody Officer decides that, based on an assessment of the risks posed by a detainee, the individual must be vigilantly supervised at all times. This may be due to the individual detainee’s medical condition or if there are concerns that the individual is suicidal or may self harm.

55. Constant watch requires Custody Officers to ensure such detainees are within their sight at all times. Officers must also be able to talk to the detainee. In this way Officers undertaking constant supervision of particular detainees will be spending all of the appropriate period of duty on this task.

56. Taking into account the stressful nature of the duty, MPS Standard Operating Procedures dictate that the constant supervision should be, ideally, undertaken for a maximum of one hour before a break and must not be longer than two hours without a break. This approach is consistent with guidelines within the National Health Service and the Prison Service.

57. Therefore detainees placed under constant watch have a separate scale of charges to recognise the intensity of the task as detailed in Table 5 below. These charges exclude the cost of the FME and Interpreters which be included as appropriate based on the charges outlined in previous paragraphs.

Table 5 - Charges for Constant Watch of Immigration Offender

58. The scale of charges identifies a charge up to the maximum period of detention of seven days. The charge up to the maximum period of detention is provided for illustrative purposes.

59. In reality such a prisoner would not be detained in a police cell for such a long period of time without being assessed by an appropriate medical professional. The detainee may be removed to hospital etc. where the necessary care can be provided at which point the charge for detention may cease.

Financial Impact of Reduction in Normal Charge for Accommodating Immigration Detainee

60. Based on an analysis of the first nine months of financial year 2009-2010 (April to December) and the length of time immigration detainees spent in custody during this period, it is estimated that the application of the proposed charges would lead to an annual decrease in income from UKBA of around £30,000 from an estimated annual income from charges of £1.4 million.

61. This is a projection based on an assumption that around 5% to 10% of the detainees will be categorised as constant watch and charged for accordingly.

Charges as advised by other agencies

62. Any changes to the fee is agreed nationally by the ACPO Security Systems Group who initiate a review of the fee every two years. This fee was increased in April 2009 from £45.00 to £47.58. There will be no increase in the cost of the fee for intruder alarm registration in 2010/11.

Charges that are set by statute or legislation

63. MPS Finance Services has approached the Home Office and other Government Departments to establish if the various fees/charges set by legislation are still current and this has been confirmed. In the Annual Review of Fees and Charges report to Finance and Resources Committee in March 2009, Members had been advised of work being undertaken which may have affected certain fees set by statute. The current situation is detailed below.

Pedlars Certificate

64. The charge for a pedlars certificate is one of longstanding, going back to 1985. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) are continuing to invite responses to an open consultation exercise initiated in 2009 inviting members of the public and stakeholders such as police forces and local authorities to comment on the case for amending and modernising the law as it applies to the control of street trading and the certification of pedlars.

65. This consultation will consider the need to improve the information about street traders contained on the certificate which may result in an increase in the current fee of £12.25. The consultation exercise is also seeking views as to whether the administration in regard to the issue of the pedlars certificate should transfer from the police to the local authority.

66. The consultation period finished on the 12 February 2010. BIS are not advocating a particular course of action such as legislation and this would only appear as an option if the evidence from the consultation supports that outcome. The timing of the General Election this year will effect what happens after the consultation closes. BIS have indicated that they may provide Ministers with an interim response with an undertaking to make progress on the guidance and deferring decisions on other options pending an assessment of the guidance. The indications are that there may not be a potential change in the current fee of £12.25 during 2010/11.

Overseas Visitors Registration Fee

67. There is currently a scoping study being undertaken of the Police Registration Scheme in respect of overseas visitors by the Special Cases Policy Team, Special Cases Directorate of the UKBA. When this is complete, it will inform on whether further work is required up to and including a full review of the Registration Scheme. If such a decision is made, then a review of the registration fee will be undertaken.

68. UKBA do not have a timescale for the completion of their scoping study but there are no indications that there would be any changes to the current registration fee during 2010/11. Accordingly the fee will remain at £34.00.

Partnership & Other Cost Sharing Arrangements.

69. The special arrangements re cost sharing in respect of partnerships on a case by case basis with local authorities, as allowed by Section 92 of the Police Act 1996 (Grants by Local Authorities), is not applicable to this specific paper, which is produced in order to achieve cost recovery.

Value added tax

70. The items listed under the schedule of fees and charges are always shown net of VAT unless indicated otherwise. VAT will be accounted for at the appropriate rate according to the tax point date.

Next Steps

71. Once approved by the Committee, Finance Services will ensure the schedule of fees and charges is promulgated throughout the MPS using a range of media. An electronic version will be published via the MPS Intranet, on the MPS Website on the Publication Scheme..

C. Race and equality impact

1. There are no issues, which impact upon equality or diversity.

D. Financial implications

1. The estimated 20010/11 income generated from the fees and charges are fully reflected in Table 6 as advised by budget holders.

Table 6 – Income from Fees and Charges 2010/11

1. It should be noted that the income generated from the fees and charges may be higher or lower than the above estimates due to demand fluctuations as illustrated within the estimated income in respect of charges for the use of cell accommodation.

E. Legal implications

1. Directorate of Legal Services (DLS) have reviewed the contents of this report. They have stated that the statutory powers to charge are correctly set out at paragraph B1 of this report.

2. DLS state that when providing a service under Section 25 of the Police Act 1996 (Special Police Services), it is advisable to enter into a Special Services Agreement with the fees appended to the Agreement prior to the provision of services in order to avoid dispute. This is normal practice in the MPS.

3. There are no known legal implications arising from the calculation of the fees and charges set out in this report.
