October performance report
Report: 6
Date: 11 December 2001
By: Commissioner
Summary
This report gives an overview of MPS performance against the targets in the policing plan.
A. Recommendations
That Members are asked to note the report.
B. Supporting information
1. The MPS performance report for October 2001 is circulated for members' information (Appendix 1), additional copies are available from the MPA Committee Section on request. The MPS Performance Review Committee (PRC) considered this report on 23 November 2001.
2. The report includes a scorecard summary of Policing Plan indicators, along with commentary regarding selected issues. Wherever possible the report includes data to the end of October 2001.
3. Page 1 is the scorecard summary of all the key priorities and sustained activities for the MPS in 2001/2. The scorecard also takes account of resource and customer satisfaction issues. Targets which are being met are colour coded blue, those where performance is not being met are coloured red. Where more than one indicator is shown against a particular line, the colouring is prioritised so that, for example, if crime reduction targets are met but judicial disposal targets are not, the target is shown as on course. This prioritisation has been agreed at PRC. Where no target has been set the boxes show grey, and where no information is available the box remains blank.
4. Page 2 begins the performance headlines, and compares performance over the financial year to date (April to October) with year-end results for 2000/2001.
5. Members are asked to note that the upward trend in street crime has steepened, following the events that occurred in America on September 11th, and also following a seasonal increase in victims and suspects under 18, coinciding with the return to school.
6. PRC discussed that the year on year burglary increase has risen to 3.7%, however increased anti-burglary activity is reflected in an increased judicial disposal rate (11.3% in October, just below the 12% target), and it is predicted that November's burglary numbers will have fallen.
7. PRC considered both business group and SO contributions to MPS performance, and agreed that the performance report needed to be developed to reflect these contributions. This developmental work will take place alongside the 2002/2003 planning process, to ensure SO and support group contributions to priority areas is maximised. Implications of the Public Attitude Survey and initial British Crime Survey results were also considered.
8. Discussion at October's PRC meeting focused on the abstraction of officers from boroughs, and the possible implications of the National Crime Recording Standards. The September performance report gave a summary of half-year performance.
C. Financial implications
None.
D. Background papers
None.
