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:

·          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.
