Report of the Commissioner of Police.

The Sub Committee received a report of the Commissioner of Police detailing the end of year performance for 2013/14 as National Lead Force (NLF) against its agreed Key Performance Areas (KPAs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

The Chairman welcomed the dramatic increase to the value of economic crime disrupted (KPI 1.1). Such effectiveness has created an expectation among partners that the Force will deliver in its responsibility to disrupt fraud.

The relevance of KPI 2 was discussed. The Commander of Economic Crime reported that this indicator will be adapted in next year’s performance report. This change takes into account a shift in police force priorities towards bespoke prevention campaigns.

The Committee discussed the importance of the intelligence packages which the City Police supply to all Police Forces nationally. It was noted that numbers have risen in the past year from 3,000 to 82,000 which corresponds to a shift in the needs of stakeholders. The Chairman recommended that a future KPI be incorporated to illustrate the impact of these intelligence packages at a local level and disclose the satisfaction of stakeholders. In addition, the Chairman requested a quarterly Economic Crime be provided to the Lord Mayor.

The Commander updated the Sub Committee that the measure for KPI 3.2 will be amended to provide a more accurate picture of the value of future fraud disrupted by NLF enforcement cases.
