REPORT 2017

R.73/2018 Prepared by

Modernise the Organisation

The Jersey Police Authority (JPA) has a statutory duty to  provide a review of the manner in which the objectives of  the Annual Policing Plan for 2017 have been addressed  by the SOJP and the overall performance of the SOJP  

in general terms.  

2017 was a year of significant transformation for all Officers and Staff,  the most visual aspect of which was the successful phased move into  the new Headquarters.

Responding

2017 saw a change in the  

way resources were deployed

by using the THRIVE principles. This assesses the Threat, Harm, Risk, Investigation opportunities, the Vulnerability of the victim and any opportunities  

for Engagement.

This new approach involves a range of deployment options, including, issues being resolved over the telephone; via an appointment system with the most appropriate officer attending or a fast time immediate response. These principles are also now used to guide everything SOJP do including the allocation

of investigations and daily tasking.

Keep People Safe

2017 is perhaps the first year that Jersey has truly seen  the ever-increasing digital threat translate into significant  crime and incident reporting for the States of Jersey Police.  Increases in all areas, especially fraud reporting has been  witnessed, the latter resulting in a fourfold rise with  hundreds of thousands of pounds being lost to Islanders  through a variety of means.

A Police Service that is Valued

In preparation for the publication of the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry in 2017 the Force received additional funding to strengthen its existing partnership working to protect and safeguard children through the Multi-

agency Safeguarding Hub.

There was also funding to establish a new partnership with Health & Social Services to deliver Jersey's Sexual Assault Referral Centre. The SARC provides a comprehensive and coordinated forensic, counselling and aftercare service to men, women and children living in Jersey who have experienced rape or sexual assault, whether this has happened recently or in the past.

Financial Crime in Jersey

2017 saw the injection of additional funding into the Jersey Financial Crime Unit and the creation of an Economic Crime and Confiscation Unit within the Law Officers' Department.

Engagement and training with the City of London Police as the leading

force nationally on economic crime has contributed to further refinement

and improvement of investigative processes.

Business Liaison

2017 saw the successful conclusion

to two JFCU investigations into serious breaches of trust (one including the Royal British Legion) leading to over 3 years imprisonment.

Significant progress was also made throughout

the year on three other major investigations all

of which are now scheduled for trials during 2018, with a number of charges having being brought against individuals covering fraudulent conversion, false pretence and false accounting offences as

well as breaches of the Proceeds of Crime, Investors (Prevention of Fraud) and Financial Services Laws.

Approximately twenty other investigations were also running at the year-end alongside the caseload of the newly formed Economic Crime and Confiscation Unit within the Law Officers' Department, and partnership working with the Law Officers and the Jersey Financial Services Commission continues to move from strength to strength.
