Conclusions:
• Crime continues to go down in Rother
April 2004 Burglary Dwelling 574 now 171 Theft from Vehicle
762 now 289
• Still work to be done on perceptions of crime and ASB – needs
to be targeted to communities that are most concerned
• Focussing on key areas of work brings success:
Specific Offenders, Young Offenders or those at risk, issues for
neighbourhoods, quick response police operations, crime
prevention based on these.
• Publicity about our work and successes needs to be consistent
across all partners agencies
•
Joint work with the Council and other partners has made a
real difference e.g: Joint Action Group, Licensing Action
Group, Neighbourhood Panels, Family Intervention Project,
Introduction
• Everyone has the right to be confident that crime and
ASB is being tackled in their neighbourhood and to be
safe and feel safe.
• NHP now embedded in Rother and remains top priority
to continue to develop the quality and outcomes for local
people.
• Rother residents are now more confident than before
that police and council are dealing with crime and ASB
that matters to them (Place Survey results and
Confidence surveys).
• NHP is key to this success, It works to reduce and
detect crime/ASB and reassure communities (every ward
now has dedicated resources PCSOs and PCs - We
have 22 PCSOs and now 12 PCs uplift of 8 PCs)
Policing Pledge
• Sets out for the first time the high standards
the public should expect from the police
• 10 points of the Pledge monitored robustly
locally to ensure compliance
• Government have removed all nationally set
targets except one - Confidence (measured
nationally by BCS and locally by LAA target)
ASB
• Review of ASB this year in Rother
• Introduction of Operation Listen (outcome much improved response, investigation and
service delivery to victims of ASB)
• Top priority for next year for NHP teams
• Minimum standards to be delivered consistently
(CSP charter similar to Pledge)
• Rother already ahead and ready to take on this
challenge
Partnership working
• Police alone cannot tackle crime and ASB
• Partners (Local Gov, Health, Education, ESFRS,
Voluntary sector) Must work Visibly together to
Identify concerns that matter to
neighbourhoods, Act and Feedback to provide
joined up support to victims and to challenge
offenders
• Strong local Partnerships (LSP, CSP, Council
and Police are working very closely together)
• If we do not do this we are letting our
communities down
What Next
• Total place (make maximum use of joint
resources)
• Neighbourhood management (shared vision for
communities)
• Safe and Confident Neighbourhoods (SCNS)
• IOM (Integrated Offender Management)
• Encourage communities to be more involved
(NHW, Panels , Street a Month)
• Improved Communication
What have we achieved
• Increased confidence and reduction in fear of
crime
• Reduced total crime by 15% 703 fewer victims,
Burglary 63 fewer, Vehicle crime 89 fewer,
Criminal damage 164 fewer, Violent crime 49
fewer (PPY)
• Providing a Quality response and Customer
Satisfaction, 95.5% Ease of contact, 82.9%
satisfied with Police Action Taken, 70.4% with
Kept informed.
