Issue - meetings

(To be tabled)

NOTED the tabled item – Community Safety Strategy Indicators (June 2012)

A discussion took place and the following was noted:

·        Clarity is required on the fire service targets:  could be arson-related or a reduction in accidental fires in dwellings – to be pursued

·        Knife crime should be separated into two sub-sets – general knife crime, and whether a knife is used to injure

·        Objective 4 – ‘reduce repeat offending’ – needed to be more specific

·        It was suggested that sanctioned detections for DV may not be the best partnership targets so alternatives should be investigated

·        A substance misuse target, probably linked to reducing acquisitive crime, awaits final agreement between DAAT and MPS.

The Chair suggested that as the next Community Safety Partnership meeting was not until October, that the decision be delegated to the Performance Monitoring Group so as not to delay the implementation of the targets.

RESOLVED

That the final document be signed off by the Performance Monitoring Group before the next meeting of the Community Safety Partnership in October 2012.
