After the expiry of 14 days following the presentation to the States of these transfers, the Minister hereby authorises the Treasurer of the States to action the transfers outlined in the table above. (More detail on the transfers is given below.)
Background
This budget transfer will support an additional 6 officers to replenish front line policing capability and capacity, as well 4 police staff to enable the release of further officers to frontline duties. This will increase the police officer establishment from 190 to 196.
If this funding is not made available, the States of Jersey Police ("SoJP") will no longer be able to provide the same range of services to the community. The SoJP have already scaled back on Community Policing services and other initiatives in the short-term.
Recurring funding for these additional posts, plus 19 more officers and 5 more staff has been included within the Government plan 2020 to 2023. This will bring the number of officers up to 215 by the end of 2020.
