MPA high level objectives (corporate control strategies)
Report: 8
Date: 27 January 2005
By: Commissioner
Summary
This report outlines the progress on the development of the MPA high-level and overarching objectives for inclusion in the Annual Policing Plan for 2005/2006. It provides consultation on measures and targets within the Corporate Control Strategies, which prioritise MPS cross-business group activity during the forthcoming year.
A. Recommendation
That the Authority
- Discusses and agrees with the MPS the proposals for appropriate measures and targets (Annex A).
- Notes the development activity required to finalise the outstanding targets for MPA high-level objectives and for further preparation of the draft MPA Policing Plan.
B. Supporting information
1. The MPA high-level objectives are informed by the Corporate Control Strategies that have been developed out of the National Intelligence Model (N.I.M) business planning process.
2. The MPS has taken a continuity and evolution approach to the existing programme of control strategies. This approach has been supported by consultation, the corporate strategic assessment, the Commissioner’s Conference and development through the MPA Planning and Performance Review Committee (PPRC).
3. The MPA high-level objectives, and their planned delivery through measures and targets, provide a good and thorough response to tough challenges facing the MPA and MPS collectively. The response is the direction we will take to ensure the implementation of the National Policing Plan and the management of Home Office Policing Performance Assessment Framework (PPAF) measurements.
New programme of control strategies
4. The proposals for new and existing control strategies were discussed and endorsed at MPS Management Board Change Co-ordination Committee meeting, and the MPA PPRC meeting, both of which took place on 11 October 2004.
5. Subsequently, the MPA Full Authority meeting held on 16 December 2004 gave general approval to the subject areas and outcome statements for MPA high-level objectives. The initial development of measures and targets has been commented upon at the MPA Planning Panel held on 17 December 2004.
6. For the first time, the MPA/MPS will be subject to an extensive range of Performance Assessment Framework (PPAF) measures and most-similar family targets. Published in the National Policing Plan, this amounts to some 35 measures. A significant number of these measures draw comparison indicators with other Police Services, which have been designated within a ‘Most Similar Family’ (MSF) Grouping. This will be a challenging process to deliver results across a broad range of measures. The MPS will look to MPA support and endorsement to improve performance against all PPAF measures.
7. The MPA PPRC held on 19 January 2005 has already provided the MPS with constructive feedback on a range of issues in support of the measurement, target setting and monitoring of high-level objectives. The MPS asks all members to consider the following factors when commenting upon the delivery of the MPA Policing Plan;
- The MPA should consider taking a strategic view of the plan when setting targets. Allocating targets will necessarily steer MPS resourcing of activity.
- British Crime Survey based data is complex both to understand and to identify the critical ‘levers’. The MPS has introduced similar questions to some of the BCS indicators within its own surveying, but would be concerned as to the effect of target setting without further analysis.
- The MPS has identified a large number of PPAF and bespoke measurements that can be considered either as targets, diagnostics, or monitors.
- Changes to target setting proposals will impact on organisational choice and investment.
- The MPA/MPS will need to identify those PPAF measures that are most significant in delivering a safer London.
- In previous years, the MPA has taken the view that there is no need for setting targets where only small increases in performance are needed. The MPS will be looking at yearly improvements in performance to meet or exceed MSF averages for PPAF performance. Target setting is complicated by the MPS ‘domination’ of the MSF average.
8 MPA Members are requested to discuss and endorse all the measures proposed, and the targets proposed so far, as set out in Annex A, in support of the delivery of the MPA high-level objectives. There are 18 measures still subject to a Variable Target Setting (VTS) process, which are now being finalised. These will ensure that a balance is maintained between focusing on Borough Command Unit objectives, and contributing sufficiently to MPA and MPS corporate targets. The work in progress on VTS, and how the MPA will further engage with the MPS in this work, is outlined below. However, as 12 out of the 18 VTS-based measures have MSF comparisons, the challenges for the MPA and MPS are already known. This information is presented as indicative of the likely targets to be proposed.
9. Annex A summarises the latest position in respect of the 2005/2006 MPA high-level objectives. It provides a description of each high-level objective, identifies the MPS lead officer and outlines the desired outcomes for each objective. It provides a description of the range of measures currently proposed by the MPS lead Officer, and associated proposed targets. It also includes details of those MPS Business Group objectives containing Policing Performance Assessment Framework (PPAF) measures.
Work in progress
10. Territorial Policing are developing the complex and ‘bottom up’ Variable Target Setting (VTS) process in consultation with Borough Commanders. The bespoke target setting will be based on MPS prioritising, CDRP quartile positioning and locally identified priorities. Members of the MPA PPRC will be briefed on the VTS process on 2 February 2005.
11. Annex A contains gaps for those targets set through the Variable Target Setting process within Territorial Policing. The MPS requests the MPA to express their views to guide the outcome. Where the outstanding VTS proposals are broadly in the right area; the MPA are requested to discharge finalising of these measures to the MPA Planning Panel being scheduled for 4 February 2005.
12. Business Group objectives (Annex B) will be articulated in the Policing Plan. These objectives will address specific/key areas of policy, including homicide and child abuse.
13. PPAF measures have been incorporated into, and aligned to, the MPA high-level objectives and MPS Business Group objectives. Annex C provides background information on current and past performance for the proposed measures and targets. Annex D outlines the continuity of measures from the 2004/05 policing plan into the proposed MPA objectives for 2005/6.
14. The MPA and MPS, under the leadership of the new Commissioner, will develop a new three-year strategy. This is expected to build on some of the key cross cutting strategies that are already under development such as diversity, women’s safety and Prolific Offenders. This work will be signalled within the 2005/06 MPA Policing Plan.
15. The draft 2005/06 annual policing plan will be submitted to the MPA Planning Panel and then to the MPA Full Authority for approval at the meeting to be held on 24 February 2005. The major corporate change programmes are being integrated into the delivery of MPA high-level objectives and MPS Business Group objectives.
16. Monitoring and reporting systems for the MPA high-level objectives and MPS Business Group objectives are being developed. The monitoring processes will be established, with N.I.M. Tactical Tasking process being developed at Corporate and Business Group levels. The MPS lead Officer for each high-level objective will monitor the progress against significant measures. Other measures and targets will be monitored, where necessary, through exception reporting on performance issues.
C. Equality and diversity implications
1. The MPA Annual Policing Plan 2005/2006 will support the more effective management of equality and diversity issues within the MPS, and there are a number of Strategies, measures and targets that are explicitly designed to do so. The performance management framework supporting the plan will, in all areas, ensure that equality and diversity impacts are monitored continually at the appropriate level within the MPS.
2. Control Strategy leads for MPA/MPS high-level objectives will be tasked to conduct an Equality Impact Assessment, through engagement with the Diversity Directorate.
D. Financial implications
There are no specific financial implications arising from this report, although the development of the objectives, targets and measures will determine in broad terms how the MPS proposes to use it’s resources in 2005/2006.
