Report of the Commissioner of the City of London Police.

The Board received a report of the Commissioner of Police which provided an update in relation to the National Fraud Capability Programme summarising the performance delivered by the City of London Police in its capacity as National Lead Force for Fraud.

The report also provided the Board with a performance update in respect of:

·          Action Fraud Victim Complaints.

·          Value for Money position for the quarter

·          Overall Attrition from Action Fraud Reporting through to outcomes for the victims. 

Members discussed the significant increase in the number of action reports received that had been converted into successful outcomes achieved by local police forces.  It was noted that outcomes had risen from 2,233 in Q3 last year to 6,400 in Q3 2014/2015 and this was an improvement in national policing performance.

The Board discussed the new Economic Crime Victim Care Unit pilot which was being run in partnership with MOPAC and targeted at improving the service of the most vulnerable victims of fraud.  A report would be submitted to the next meeting of the Board in relation to victim care and support.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
