Report of the Commissioner (copy attached).

The Sub Committee received a report of the Commissioner updating on the final performance report summarising the 2012/13 annual achievement of National Lead Force (NLF) against its agreed Key Performance Areas (KPA) and Key Performance Indicators (KPI).

The Commissioner advised that the CoLP/Crown Prosecution Services Central Fraud Division (CFD) joint initiative to measure the quality of NLF investigations will be implemented in the first quarter of 2013-14. The Commander of Economic Crime added that discussions had been held with the Crown Prosecution Services (CPS) around establishing targets related to the quality of cases presented. A Member raised a question in regards to the value of fraud (KPI 3.1) and the Commander of Economic Crime stated that the value of fraud can vary, and as a result there is now a focus in case criteria to focus more on damage caused by fraud rather than on the value of the fraud committed.
