Agenda item

Joint report of the Town Clerk and Commissioner.

Members considered a joint report of the Town Clerk and Commissioner regarding references and the following points were made.

25/2019/P – Recruitment Projections to be embedded in Medium-Term Financial Plan & 1/2020/P Non-Pay Elements in Medium Term Financial Plan & 4/2020/P Medium Term Financial Plan to include workforce assumptions

·         The Assistant Commissioner noted that the MTFP report was due in November 2020 and all the necessary data to support MTFP forecasting was in place. The Force was in a good position with regards to its projections, with monthly recruitment monitoring reports that were within 5% accuracy. The Force was forecasting a younger mix of staff including a greater number of probationers, which would in turn affect Force financials.

6/2020/P – Deep Dive on Community Policing

·         Members noted that the new Sector Policing Model would be adopted from 19 October 2020 which would make a deep dive on Community Policing redundant. Instead Members requested a six-month update report on Sector Policing in mid-2021.

7/2020/P – Staff Survey to be benchmarked against 2017 Staff Survey

·         The Assistant Commissioner noted that the current survey had gone live and that a report on its outcome would be available from February 2021.

RESOLVED, that the report be received.
