Agenda item

The Panel received a presentation from the PCVC on the Quarter 4 public performance report which contained key performance data for the headline measures of victim based crime, public confidence and victim satisfaction and performance information on each aspect of the current Police, Crime and Victims’ Plan.

Councillor Boyes referred to the reduction in knife crime in Glasgow which had used a lot of wrap around services involving partner agencies.  It was essential for partner agencies to be fully involved in such initiatives to ensure perspective offenders were targeted and the initiative be a success.

The Police and Crime Commissioner informed the Panel that there was still work to be done with partners before effective delivery could be achieved.  He added that he would be travelling to Cardiff to consider what could be learned from the Cardiff model, which was a way of preventing violence, in which data from hospitals was shared with the police and local authorities.

Councillor Hovvels informed the meeting that a lot of work was already ongoing with partners including the County Council, Fire and Health and that this was work in progress.

Resolved:

That the report be noted.
