National Lead Force: First Quarter Performance Report

Report of the Commissioner of Police.

Minutes:

The Board received a report of the Commissioner of Police on the National Lead Force First Quarter Performance.

 

In response to a question, the Commander replied that the 23k outcomes to 248k reported crimes was better understood in the context of many of the crimes being uninvestigable or perpetrated from overseas. He confirmed that each crime reported would be pursued until there was a defined outcome. The Chairman requested commentary on such similar reports in future.

 

The Chairman noted concern that the routine collection and analysis of statistics had the potential to drive down performance – proper consideration should be given to qualitative outcomes too.
