Report of the Commissioner.

The Committee received a report of the Commissioner on the National Lead Force Update.

In response to a query from the Chair Officers confirmed that all business cases for funding included a methodology for measuring the return on investment. It was added that the Force were already measuring the impact of pursuing criminal cases but that increasingly, protect and prevent also needed to be measured, noting that whilst this was a challenge work was being undertaken to establish appropriate metrics. The Chair noted that an overall return on investment across the Force’s activity was important to establish for external engagement and messaging.

The Committee noted the importance of alumni networks and part time working for establishing a cost effective recruitment programme.

RESOLVED- That the report be noted
