Issue - meetings

The Board were presented with the exception report on the performance of the safer communities service key indicators. The Board noted the following information:

• Domestic Burglary - close to target although there had been an increase in this crime compared to quarter 1.

• Theft from a person - noted that there was a reduction of 30.1% compared to quarter 1 results.

• Common Assault – this showed a 2% reduction from the first quarter but was not envisaged to meet the required target on current performance rate.

• Theft from a Motor Vehicle - a reduction of 10% from the first quarter figures. This was just missing the target by a 5% margin.

• The Board were informed that the main target challenges were criminal damages and burglary.

Concern was raised on the outcome of some indicators and the overall impact on the PSA target. The Board discussed how joined up working could further help improve certain required areas. Example suggested included providing notices on pay and display machines to warn motorists of vehicle theft.  This could contribute to the target on theft from motor vehicles.

RESOLVED
