Delivery Plan Reprioritisation
Report to follow.
Minutes:
Claire Kowalska presented the report on the progress against the delivery plan, and it was noted that the annual assessment would not be complete until December 2011.
The Board was advised that, in respect of developing an Integrated Offender Management model, a scoping document had been completed and meetings had been held, including a discussion with Avon and Somerset Police regarding their experiences. Board agreement that this was the direction they wanted to move in was required in order to then make plans for implementation and develop a project plan.
The Metropolitan Police were asked to comment on any specific areas of work relating to the concerns regarding crime performance as raised in the previous agenda item. Detective Superintendent Gurdip Singh advised that there was now an Intelligence resource working on prevention measures in relation to gang activity. It was reported that the Intelligence structure was moving towards a Victim Offender Location model, this was in the process of implementation and should be in place by the end of November. With regards to property crime, it was reported that there was a Property Action Plan in place with a focus on tactical delivery and resources aligned according to the relevant expertise. Partnership work was ongoing in relation to violent crime and more innovative ways of tackling these issues and engaging with victims were being sought. It was reported that the Connect taskforce were making direct contact with potential gang members and inviting them to come and discuss ways out of this activity, with enforcement action only being taken as a last resort when individuals disengaged from the process.
Clarification was sought on whether arson was included in the police’s Property Action Plan, as the Fire Service had analysts and statistics which might be of use to the police in its own intelligence work around this area. It was agreed that this was be taken forward outside of the meeting.

ii) That agreement be given to proceed with the development of an Integrated Offender Management system
