Decision details

Chief Superintendent Simon Rose presented the Performance Dashboard as at May 2017.  He reported that there had been a significant increase in robbery which would be kept under review.  In relation to Anti-Social Behaviour it was reported that there had been a small increase, but noted that the classification of incidents meant that this was open to interpretation. 

In relation to repeat burglary victims, Chief Superintendent Rose informed the Board that police had been visiting those most affected and were undertaking target hardening.  Of the 500 victims approached by the police around 400 had accepted support and there had only been one repeat victim from those supported. 

Robbery had seen an increase in prevalence and this would continue to be monitored.  It was noted that the recent trend in moped robberies could be contributing to this increase. 

The Board noted the update and requested that a presentation be delivered to the next meeting on burglary and prevention with a focus on victims.
