Emerging performance indicators for policing and performance plan 2001/02

Report: 4
Date: 9 January 2001
By: Commissioner

Summary

This report summarises the emerging proposals for policing and performance plan performance indicators (PIs) for 2001/02. It also lists the relevant Best Value performance indicators (BVPIs) which will be required.

A. Supporting information

1. The MPA Full Authority in December agreed a set of priorities, which will form the basis of the Policing and Performance Plan for 2001/02.

2. Work is in hand to define and develop these priorities into a meaningful plan with clear objectives, performance indicators and targets.

3. The tables attached at Appendix 1 set out the emerging Performance Indicators. Development work is still underway, and these PIs may be subject to further refinement and change. In a number of areas new ideas are being developed, and these will be incorporated in future drafts of the plan. Internal consultation is also taking place to develop targets for all PIs.

4. The PIs are presented at this stage for the information of PSPM members, and to allow comment and consultation on the proposals. PSPM are invited to comment in particular on the emerging set of PIs, which will be monitored next year. Appendix 1 includes details of the Best Value PIs which are relevant to the Policing and Performance Plan external priorities.

5. In addition to describing priorities, the MPS policing and performance plan will identify "sustained activities". A sustained activity is an area that the MPS will continue to address as part of its overall basket of services. It may be a previous year's priority that will get continuing attention to ensure delivery, like homicide, or an external priority, like vehicle crime, which is monitored and supported but not a first level priority.

6. Appendix 2 shows details of the BVPIs which relate to internal priorities and sustained activities. Details of the other BVPIs for 2001/02 are shown in Appendix 3.

B. Recommendation

Members note the report, and consider the emerging set of PIs for 2001/02.

C. Financial implications

None.

D. Review arrangements

An outline of the Policing and Performance Plan will be submitted for consideration by the Finance, Planning and Best Value committee on 22 January. The draft Plan will then be presented to the Full Authority in February. Members may like to consider what further involvement PSPM should have in the development of PIs and targets.
