Presentation of the Commissioner.

With this initial meeting of the Board intended as a ‘scene-setting’ one, the Commissioner gave a short presentation outlining the background to the Force’s role and achievements as the National Lead for Economic Crime, putting the current operations and future plans in to context and setting out the key performance areas for the Economic Crime Directorate.

The Commissioner advised that he was currently in the process of redesigning the performance framework for the Economic Crime Directorate and would like to present this to future meetings in order to gain Members' assistance in fleshing out the proposals. Members stressed the need for more work to be done in clearly demonstrating the value of the ECD and the full scale of fraud prevented and assets recovered. It was also asked that, following the creation of the performance framework, an Economic Crime Performance Indicators report come to meetings of the Board as a standard item.
