The Corporate Performance Report is an important reporting tool and we look at this in conjunction with figures over a three year period so it allows for trends and fluctuations and we can obtain an accurate picture of what is happening in all areas.

Included in the CPR 2012 – 2013:

• Total Crime offences have decreased by 4.2% (1025 incidents)
• Total public order incidents decreased;
• Public place assaults decreased;
• Total person offences decreased;

• Stolen motor vehicles have decreased;

 “These results prove that despite the fiscal challenges we face as an organisation, our officers continue to do their job with pride and professionalism, striving to serve our community and provide a safe environment for everyone,” said Assistant Commissioner Phil Wilkinson.

“We acknowledge that we cannot do more with less people however through our operational restructure and intelligence-led policing we can change the way we work, adopt new strategies and direct our cross-functional resources with an element of flexibility,” he said.
