1. CHAIRMAN'S FOREWORD

This year's Annual Report for the States of Jersey Police, is presented by the Jersey Police Authority (JPA) in collaboration with the States of Jersey Police (SOJP). It is the duty of the Police Authority to provide a review of – (a) the manner in which the provisions of the Annual Policing Plan for 2014 have been addressed by the SOJP; and (b) the performance of the States of Jersey Police Force in general.

The JPA must also ensure that the SOJP is an efficient and effective police force who can deliver the key aims and objectives referred to within the Plan and within the resources available to them.

This year's report covers the first full year that the JPA has overseen the performance of the States Police. It represents a very positive year for policing in Jersey and the JPA is confident in the work that the SOJP and, in particular, its senior officers have done in order to ensure that policing is carried out in an effective way and one which meets the needs of our Island residents. The JPA is conscious of the fact that the States of Jersey Police has to provide a wide range of services and, on many occasions, has to "multi-task" as it is required to provide a wide range of services across a very varied spectrum. It does this well although it is likely to come under additional pressure as a consequence of the savings that are being sought across all government sectors.

As the Chief Officer mentions in his statement below, the approach which the JPA has adopted in conjunction with the States of Jersey Police to establish clearer benchmarks and performance measures will make it easier to measure and report on performance in the future. We are lucky to have a highly experienced and committed team of professionals leading the SOJP, and this provides a strong platform for the delivery of high quality policing across the Island. This, in turn, has led to a further reduction in the overall levels of recorded crime. It is also encouraging to see work being done in order to ensure appropriate succession through the senior team as well as within the organisation in general.  

The Authority is determined to act as a constructive and critical friend of the SOJP. The JPA will support the police as and when it delivers an excellent service but will be constructively critical when it feels that there is a need. The need for constructive criticism has not really arisen since the JPA came into being because of the excellent and committed job that the SOJP continues to do.

My first year as Chairman of the JPA has been both educational and insightful. We, as an authority, have spent time getting to know the staff within the States Police and we have also spent time learning and understanding many of the key areas of work involved in policing our Island. Some members have even spent time on shift experiencing the challenges of night time policing in St Helier. We are impressed by what we see and we will continue to spend time working alongside the States Police to ensure they are fully supported in being an efficient and effective Island Police Force.

2. THE CHIEF'S FOREWORD

Despite seeing a further 2% reduction in the overall levels of recorded crime, there has been  no  corresponding  reduction  in  the  demand  for  Police  services  during  2014. Furthermore, whilst our communities have benefited from a 32% decrease in recorded crime  over  the  last  5  years,  the  demands  for  Police  services  and  the  number  of incidents  we  have  attended  have  remained  unchanged.   As  such,  there  are considerable  dangers  attached  to  simply  assessing  Police  activity  from  the  single viewpoint of recorded crime levels.

The States of Jersey Police provide a full spectrum of public safety activities, ranging from  community  policing  through  to  counter  terrorism.   It  includes  specialist investigation  skills  into  domestic  violence,  rape  and  child  sexual  exploitation.   It involves complicated multi-jurisdiction economic crime investigations. It requires us to manage a raft of intelligence both to prevent crime locally, as well as to protect our Island from terrorist threats, drugs barons, paedophile networks, and modern-day slavery and human trafficking. In recent years, this breadth of work has become increasingly complex, challenging, global and technologically enabled. This work also largely takes place behind the scenes, allowing law abiding residents, visitors and workers to go about their lives in as safe and secure an environment as possible.

We manage this broad spectrum of responsibilities by deploying our officers and staff flexibly to meet peaks in demand, coupled with their good-will and pride in public service.   Our  activities  and  performance  have  also  been  supported  by  successful partnerships  that  collectively  address  broader  community  safety  issues  and solutions.  For  example,  the  relationship  with  our  Honorary  Police  colleagues continues to strengthen, and the multi-agency work undertaken by the Safeguarding Partnership  Board  has  had  a  profound  impact  on  the  Police's  work  and responsibilities.

I am pleased that the Jersey Police Authority has started to benchmark our services and can  independently verify our performance. We have amongst the lowest levels of crime, highest  detection rates and a broadly similar workforce profile (relative to population size) when  compared to UK Police Forces. The 2014 Jersey Annual Social Survey also identified that 93%  of Islanders feel safe in their local neighbourhood, the fear of crime has halved between  2010–2014, and over 80% of local people think we are doing a good job. Whilst running a  small Police Force will always be slightly more expensive without the same opportunities for  collaboration or economies of scale that exist for much larger UK Forces, I am tremendously  proud of the way my officers and staff have responded to the current financial challenges and  constraints, and their determination wherever possible to drive out waste and find more  efficient ways to meet the needs and expectations of our communities. Throughout the year  we identified and implemented a number of efficiency projects and, towards the end of 2014,  developed a new performance framework against which we (and the Jersey Police Authority)  can more easily identify opportunities for improvement, as well as more readily be held to  account for our activities and performance.  

During 2014 we also had to plan and prepare for a further, and unexpected, 2% budget  reduction which took effect on 1 January 2015. This meant reducing our workforce by 9 posts  and was achieved by managing vacant posts as well as not replacing retiring officers. We have  now exhausted all our non-staff savings options, and whilst there may be some savings in the  future that can be achieved through new technology and greater collaboration both locally  and with Guernsey, further budget cuts are now likely to translate directly into fewer people  and subsequently a reduction in the services and protection we can provide.  

Whatever our budget I am confident that my officers and staff will continue to do the best  they can for the people of Jersey.  

Mike Bowron, QPM Chief Officer of Police

3. PERFORMANCE AND DELIVERY AGAINST 2014 POLICING PLAN

1. BEING VISIBLE AND RESPONSIVE

High visibility policing

The States of Jersey Police maintained their high visibility approach to policing, ensuring there was a physical Police  presence at known busy times during the day and at night, as well as policing Island-wide activities and events in  partnership with their Honorary Police colleagues. Some of the major events in 2014 included Jersey Live, the Queen's  Baton Relay, as part of the build up to the Commonwealth Games, the Football World Cup, and World War I centenary  events.  

Equally, visible and responsive policing is no longer just about seeing a Police Officer in person. During 2014, the Police  launched their new  website and further built on their  social  media presence, which has now developed  into  an  important aspect of their community policing effort.  

Responding to emergencies  

On average, the Police attended 999 emergencies within 5 minutes in the St Helier area, and 8 minutes for everywhere  else in the Island. This is well within the expected timescales.

During 2014, the States of Jersey Police responded to 23 incidents with a Firearms Team. On each occasion a peaceful and safe resolution was achieved. Tasers became operational on 13 July 2014. Between this date and the end of 2014, Tasers were withdrawn from their holsters on 11 occasions, which included red dotting' people on 6 occasions. No Tasers were fired operationally during 2014.

Policing the night-time economy

The Police maintained an enhanced presence in St Helier on Friday and Saturday nights as well as continuing with their rolling programme of licensee visits and checks. During 2013 there was a 32% reduction in night-time economy related violence and 2014 saw a further 4% reduction. The Police continued to develop effective relationships and a range of joint initiatives with the licensing trade and key stakeholders, in order to improve public safety after dark.

Anti-social behaviour strategy

In 2014 the Police also took a fresh look at anti-social behaviour (ASB) and, working with the Building a Safer Society (BaSS) partnership, drafted an Island-wide strategy, which is due to be discussed and debated in 2015.

2. PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITIES FROM HARM

Protecting vulnerable adults and children

Safeguarding' involves delivering services that look after the welfare of both adults and children, and the Safeguarding Partnership Board (SPB) focuses on protecting vulnerable adults and children through specific policies and initiatives, as well as by improving communication and co-ordination between interested parties and agencies.

Many of the developments introduced through the SPB took hold during 2014 and impacted directly on Police work. For example, and from a Police perspective:

• The  Multi-Agency  Risk  Assessment  Conference  (MARAC),  which  focuses  on  victims  of

Within a month of his release Mrs Blue was raped by him at home – she had tried to fight him off. She did not report it because she was afraid for her son. A month later he raped her again and also threatened to kill her; this time she did not resist, but she did make contact with her IDVA and explained what had been happening.

With her agreement, the IDVA helped her to report the rape to the Police. This led to the arrest of Mr Blue, a guilty plea, and a 6 year prison sentence.

Road Safety

2014 saw a number of small changes to the Police's approach to road safety. Officers were encouraged to focus on the educational aspects of safe driving and road usage, and to use their discretion whether to process an offence or give the driver some informal words of advice'[1]. In addition, 2014 saw the first full year for the Vehicle Defect Rectification Scheme (VDRS) – where officers again had discretion to give owners of vehicles a limited period of time to fix their vehicle, instead of always treating it as an offence. Whilst this resulted in a 16% reduction in the number of road safety related offences during 2014, it did lead to 37% more interactions with poor drivers and road users. This is an average of approximately 20 per day.

In 2014 there were 10 (3%) fewer injuries on our roads than in 2013. This included 14 (23%) fewer serious injuries. However, the 4 year trend (2011 – 2014) identifies a 12% increase and it is too early to tell if this trend is now reversing.

Vehicle and Bike Crime  

A number of specific campaigns took place throughout the year – linked to cycle road safety – which focused on bike security;  for example, the watching eyes' posters were placed at bike stands. Early in 2014 the Police also launched a bike marking  scheme to help prevent bike theft as well as helping to return recovered bikes to their rightful owners. Building on the  education theme, officers also took the opportunity to check bikes for roadworthiness, advise cyclists of good road practice,  and also promote the benefits of a cycle helmet – before it became law (on 6 October 2014) that anyone under 14 years old  had to wear one whilst riding a bicycle.  

During 2014, there was a 14% reduction in cycle theft (compared to 2013). Similarly, vehicle crime also reduced by 13%   Posters  used  to  deter  bike  thieve (compared with 2013).

Financial crime

The Police's Financial Crime Unit investigated 30 cases during  2014. As a consequence of being an Offshore Finance Centre  Jersey's economic crime investigations tend to extend across  multiple  jurisdictions,  making  them  both  complex  and  potentially  time  consuming.   For  example  12  of  the  investigations have been in progress for more than 2 years.  Equally  some  investigations  are  also  led  by  the  Island's  Attorney General (AG) due to their seriousness and also the  requirement to use specific AG powers during the investigation  process.

additional activities increase by 10%.

Cyber and internet enabled investigations  

The Police definition for cyber-crime is the use of networked computers or internet technology to commit or facilitate the  commission of crime.' Given the explosion in internet enabled technology in recent years, a significant proportion of all  recorded crime would now come under this definition. For example, activities such as vehicle theft and burglary are  increasingly becoming technology enabled crimes.  

This has required the States of Jersey Police to build its cyber and internet investigation capability considerably and it now  has a dedicated Hi-Tech Crime Unit of 7 people who between them provide a broad range of services that include:  

• Conducting  serious  and  complex  investigations.   These  range  from  supporting  intricate  multi-jurisdictional  financial crime investigations, to investigating paedophile networks and complex on-line frauds (scams). During  2014, a member of Jersey's Hi-Tech Crime Team uncovered critical evidence to support a global paedophile  investigation that was being led by the FBI  
• Intelligence gathering to support covert operations as well as counter-terrorism requirements  
• Downloading and analysing data from a variety of sources to support routine investigations – for example, mobile  phones, laptops and CCTV camera footage.  

As with all other facets of society, technology has enabled criminal activity. Previously, a bank robbery might have  involved accessing a premises and stealing cash or assets, or a theft may have resulted from a handbag being snatched.  Today  these  crimes  are  more  likely  to  take  place  on-line  –  where  thieves  hack  into  business  systems  or  develop  complicated scams or computer viruses to defraud people.  

During 2014, the States Police also developed their first cyber-crime strategy and action plan which will drive work and  developments in 2015 and beyond. A key strand of the strategy will be a campaign to help individuals, households and  businesses to understand the threats posed by the internet, and what measures they can take to protect themselves.  

Following the appointment of a specialist Internet Investigator, much of 2014 was also spent educating and training  officers  in  how  to  investigate  cyber  and  internet  enabled  crime.   In  addition,  support  was  given  to  the  Economic  Development Department to enhance legislation surrounding indecent and offensive images, as well as cyber-bullying activities.  Cyber Crime prevention leaflet

3. BRINGING OFFENDERS TO JUSTICE

Whilst 2014 was dominated by the murder of a local resident, the Police also maintained a tight grip on  

investigating and detecting all areas of crime throughout 2014. By adopting an intelligence-led approach, so  CASE STUDY – Murder investigation

the Force's detectives were able to focus attention and resources to the priority areas.  Whilst Jersey is a very safe community, occasionally a serious incident occurs. In

April 2014, a local resident was murdered at his home address in St Helier. Detecting Crime

During 2014, and in addition to bringing these offenders to justice, the scope of Operation Hornet was  extended to include education and prevention activities – with the aim being to make it harder for people to commit  these crimes.  

A total of 176 burglaries were recorded in 2014, which represented a 13% reduction on 2013; this was also the  lowest level of burglary since computer records began in 1992. In addition, 2014 also saw a 15% reduction  (compared with 2013) in acquisitive crime, which included a 4% year-on-year reduction in shop lifting.  

Intelligence-led Police Operations  

The Police also progressed a number of other intelligence-led operations during 2014. For example:  

Operation Blackwood involved money laundering  

Operation Poster concerned drugs importation  

Operation Phoenix dealt with sexual exploitation  

Drugs  

Whilst 2014 saw a sharp increase in the levels of drug-related crime, this also reflects increased focus  and activity by the Police during 2014. Considerable  work  was  done  to  raise  the  awareness  and  understanding  of  the  dangers  of  New  Psychoactive  Substances (NPS) or so called legal highs'. In addition  to promoting this message on Police vehicles, posters  and  social  media,  the  Police  also  worked  with  the  Prison! Me! No Way! And jointly visited the majority  of schools to explain the associated dangers.

4. ENHANCING TRUST AND CONFIDENCE

Body worn cameras

The Police completed the trial into using body worn cameras (BWCs) in the first half of 2014 and concluded that they should be rolled out to frontline officers. Funding was sourced from the Criminal Offences Confiscation Fund (COCF) and 30 additional BWCs were purchased and introduced towards the end of the year. They have been welcomed by officers as they provide the additional protection of video and audio evidence of their interactions with the public, and can help to resolve disputes in 1:1 situations.

The production of video and audio evidence has already led to an increase in guilty pleas and BWC footage is starting to be used for training, as well as internal disciplinary processes when necessary. In terms of improving the quality of evidence and streamlining criminal justice processes, BWC are currently undergoing a settling in period and a number of processes and procedures have still to be refined before the States of Jersey Police get the most out of this important technological development.

Family, victim and witness care

Work  continued  during  2014  to enhance  the  levels  of  support  to families,  victims  and  witnesses.   At any  time  during  2014,  the  Police's victim  and  witness  volunteers  were supporting up to 150 people.

Working  with  the  Safeguarding Partnership Board, enhanced support was also put in place for victims of domestic abuse and sexual assaults, in addition to the broader family support that the Police already provide. This victim centred approach fits comfortably with the requirement for the Police to extend fully into the community, and it also helps to reassure people to bring criminal charges or give evidence in Court.

Body Worn Video awareness posters

Enhanced communications

During  2014  the  States  of  Jersey  Police  continued  to  develop  and  expand  its  website  and  social  media  communications.  

They launched their new website in February 2014 and have increased website visits  from about 200 per month to over 10,000 visits per month.  

Similarly, Facebook likes' grew by 40% (SOJP now has in excess of 15,000 followers),  Twitter  also  grew  by  60%  (to  over  6,000),  and  the  Police's  dedicated YouTube account has also received more than 40,000  

views since it was started.  

The  Police  website  and  social  media  platforms  have  become  important  tools  to  communicate with local people (and some non-local people) on day-to-day community  issues – for example, managing poor weather conditions, road closures and traffic  delays. In addition, it is a fast and effective medium to get help finding a missing  person as well as keeping people informed and up-to-date when there is a major Police incident.

A social media strategy was developed in 2014 which aims to extend further the scope and use of the Police's website and social media, to help access some of the harder to reach parts of our community, as well as enabling people to get more involved in Police work and Police activities.

Crime recording

During 2014 a review took place into the rules surrounding crime recording. These rules were previously reviewed in 2007 – meaning there has been a consistent comparison of crime data for Jersey between 2007 and 2014. A few minor changes have been made to the crime recording practices – which are supported by the Jersey Police Authority - to align with changes by the Home Office and enable potential future comparisons with England and Wales Forces. The new crime recording rules will take effect from 1 January 2015.

Being part of the community

Officers and staff undertook a wide variety of charity work during 2014. They held an Open Day, baked cakes, ran marathons, climbed mountains and organised a Community Fun Day during the summer. They held clinics' at Waitrose, and worked alongside their honorary colleagues to support Island activities that are the hallmark of Jersey's close knit community.

5. IMPROVING VALUE FOR MONEY

Budget savings

During 2014, the Police had to identify and plan how to save 2% of their budget for 2015. It required reducing the Police's overall establishment by 9 full-time posts; this was made up of 6.5 fewer police officer posts and 2.5 fewer non-uniformed posts. These savings were achieved by managing existing vacancies and not replacing staff when they retired.

Performance measurement  Table 4: Police establishment changes following 2% budget cut for 2015

During 2014, the Police also looked critically at how they measured and managed their performance and developed a new performance management framework. This now produces greater levels of management information and, in future, will help the Police to understand better how their budget is being spent and where best to allocate resources against the changing patterns of demand for their services.

In line with the more detailed 2015 Policing Plan that was developed with the Jersey Police Authority, the  Police  have  also  introduced  a  framework  to  ensure  these  requirements  are  also  monitored  and  completed. The collective impact of these changes will be to help the Police to better understand and  explain  the  value  that  their  services  provide,  as  well  as  increasing  transparency  and  accountability  surrounding Police services and activities.  

Cutting out waste  

The Police completed 4 Lean' projects during 2014. These involved looking at current practices and  finding ways to improve efficiency as well as enhancing public service.  

Mobile technology and mobile data

Building on the upgrade to CCTV that was completed in 2014, the States of Jersey Police also completed  a review into the potential benefits and efficiencies that could be gained from enabling  officers to  complete the majority of their tasks without having to keep returning to the police station. The review  has concluded there are considerable opportunities to use existing consumer technologies to significantly  enhance efficiency and effectiveness. This is a long-term project that will now begin in earnest in 2015.  

6. INVESTING FOR THE FUTURE

Investing in People

The Police continued to build on the investment into leadership skills and practices that it made  in 2013. Leadership training continued and local leaders from within the Island – from a variety  of backgrounds – were invited to address the Police's top managers on their personal leadership  experiences. This provided both a richness of experience as well as a breadth of variety to help  individuals develop a leadership style that best suits them.  

A number of training reforms were starting in 2014 in order to modernise and  refresh the  historical approach to training. National Computer Aided Learning Technology (NCALT) was  introduced and core training requirements started to be rolled out across the Police in this new  electronic learning format. More training packages will be introduced during 2015, and the  Police will develop the in-house skills to develop their own e-learning training packages for  NCALT, to maximise the use and effectiveness of this new system.  

Several new people (HR) policies were also introduced, in particular for non-uniformed staff,  which formed part of the ongoing States workforce modernisation programme.  

In light of anticipated retirement profile, the Police had 2 intakes of probationary police officers during 2014. There was a main intake in May, and a further joint intake with Guernsey probationary officers in September.

New Police Headquarters

Significant progress was made during 2014 with regard to the new Police Headquarters. The final planning permissions were granted, funds approved and ROK/Regal were appointed as the main contractor in October 2014, with work starting soon thereafter. The Force is also planning to take out a lease at La Collette for additional storage and to keep specialist vehicles and equipment.

New Technology

During 2014, the States of Jersey Police also introduced a range of new technologies that are investments and assets for the future; Tasers, body worn cameras, new /upgrading CCTV systems. In addition to mobile data, in 2015 they are also exploring how to automate their administrative processes with the Island's 12 Parish Hall s.

Medical Services

Police custody cells are not a suitable environment for detaining people with a mental health  condition,  or  those  who  are  high  on  drugs  (including  new  psychoactive substances); these are matters for health professionals not police officers. The lack of a suitable place of safety' means that people with mental health conditions are often detained by the Police on non-criminal matters. Not only is this an inappropriate way to support vulnerable people in our community, but it also increases the risk to the Police, as well as the cost of having to call out specialist medical support to attend to these specific conditions. Between 2012 and 2014 there was a 23% increase in this type of activity.

In the UK, the Health Service is required to provide specialist medical examiners to support the Police. The lack of equivalent practice in Jersey means both increased risk to the Police, as well as increased cost to the taxpayer.

Protecting and supporting vulnerable people

In recent years there has been a significant change in emphasis and approach to protecting and supporting vulnerable people. This follows lessons learned from high profile incidents – for example, locally with Haut de la Garenne, and externally with the Savile and Rotherham enquiries. The Safeguarding Partnership

Board  (SPB)  now  provides  general  oversight,  as  well  as  ensuring  key  agencies  communicate  and  co- ordinate more effectively. Whilst the SPB aims to improve the safety of vulnerable people, the resultant changes have also required more complex procedures and practices to be adopted. In addition, during

2014 the Police saw a 35% increase in Child Protection Notifications and an increase in violent or Table 5 : Safeguarding Activity by the Police in 2014 sexual offender (JMAPPA) case referrals. 2014 also saw 626 Adult Protection Notifications, in its first full year of operation.

As such, in addition to an increase in complexity, the Police have also seen a significant increase in the overall number of related incidents, activities and referrals. Whilst technology has helped to mitigate some of this additional work, these increases have been absorbed internally, either through identifying internal efficiencies, redeploying people from areas where activity has reduced, or simply requiring officers and staff to work harder. Equally, during 2014 the Police were faced with a murder investigation as well as 6 highly complex child sexual assault and child sexual exploitation investigations – each one a major incident requiring a dedicated investigation team.

Financial Savings and Value for Money

The  States  of  Jersey  Police  has  been  required  to  tighten  its  belt  over  a number of years in response to a series of budget reductions. Whilst levels of recorded crime have reduced, Police activity has not reduced in parallel. For example, despite a 32% reduction in recorded crime over the last 5 years, the chart opposite shows that there has been no corresponding reduction in the Police's requirement to respond to incidents; the growth in dealing with Concerns for Welfare has played a major part in this.

Equally, whilst relatively simple crimes (for example, burglary and vehicle crime) have reduced considerably, the remaining crime is now significantly more complex to investigate; much of it is also now technology driven and spans several jurisdictions. In addition, the Police have also had to deal with significant changes to terrorist threat levels, and significant additional work in relation to intelligence, financial crime, and measures and practices to protect the most vulnerable in our community.

Figure 7: Police Incidents Attended - Trend (2011 – 2014)

Policing is a manpower intensive activity and over 80% of the Police's budget is spent directly on workforce costs, with police officer remuneration accounting for a significant proportion. As such, and having already reduced non-staff costs in previous budget cuts, further savings are now likely to translate directly into fewer officers and staff.

Whilst it is anticipated that additional savings might be achieved through a re-organisation in Government responsibilities (for example, there may be opportunities to centralise all enforcement activities across the public sector within a single law enforcement agency), it may also be advantageous to look how other constabularies have responded to the changing financial situation. For example, in the UK:

• Significant investment is currently taking place in the adaptation of consumer-led technologies in order to improve efficiency of core policing activities and processes, and there may be opportunities for Jersey to benefit either directly or indirectly from these UK developments. In any scenario, the application of modern technology will be a central requirement for Jersey's Police and this will need to feature in both its technology strategy, as well as any longer term capital expenditure programme.
• The Winsor reforms addressed a number of outdated practices and sought to modernise police officer terms and conditions of service – and it may be beneficial to determine if similar benefits could be realised in Jersey.

3. BENCHMARKING AND VALUE FOR MONEY

Recorded crime  

In 2014 there were 3,100 recorded crimes. This represented a 2% reduction when compared with  Police workforce profile per 1000 population 2013, and a 15% decrease on the average for the previous 3 years (2011 – 2013). Over the last 5

years, recorded crime has reduced by 32% (4,564 crimes in 2010). By way of comparison (on a per  4.5

capita population basis) Jersey has about half the average levels of crime than in England and Wales.  3.54

This makes Jersey amongst the safest places to live, work or visit.  3

2.5

Only 16% of crimes were committed by 10-17 year olds (compared to 22 – 25% in England and Wales).  The 3 months of September, October and November 2014 saw the lowest levels of recorded crime  since the Police began recording crime on computers in 1992.

Workforce profile

 Jersey's overall workforce size and profile is comparable with police forces in England  and  Wales,  in  terms  of  the  number  officers  and  staff  per  1000 resident population. This is expected to change in 2015 as UK austerity measures further reduce police forces on the mainland.

Detection rates  

42.1% of all crimes recorded in 2014 in Jersey were detected which means that  Jersey has amongst the highest detection rates in England and Wales. Whilst  being an Island is an advantage, it still means that there is a high chance of  getting caught if you commit a crime in Jersey.  

Cost of policing Jersey

During 2014 it cost 67p per person per day to police Jersey. When compared to police forces in England and Wales, only the Metropolitan Police cost more (at 88p), and Lincolnshire and Wiltshire Forces cost the least (each at 42p). The average for all forces in England and Wales was 55p.

However, it can also be misleading to place too much emphasis on a direct comparison with UK forces. In Jersey, there are different laws and regulations covering the requirements and activities of policing, different salary scales and no readily available mutual-aid support from neighbouring county forces.

Constabularies in England and Wales have just completed a programme of deep financial cuts, as part of their austerity measures – where on average

0.8 budgets were reduced by 20 – 25% over the previous 3 years. Whilst Jersey has also  0.7 reduced its costs, it does not have the same opportunities to collaborate and share  0.6 core services with neighbouring forces. As an island force, Jersey Police need to  0.5 maintain a higher level of self-sufficiency and resilience than forces in England and  0.4 Wales.  0.3 0.2

The graph opposite shows Jersey compared with the 11 police forces in England and

becomes more cost efficient as populations rise, and the assumption is that policing

Value for Money

Jersey performs well against England and Wales forces in terms of public confidence, low levels of crime and high crime detection rates. There is also evidence identifying that it costs more to police small populations. The larger police forces can access economies of scale and more readily share with neighbouring forces.

The States of Jersey Police has already been subject to budget cuts in recent years, and whilst it should continue to explore opportunities for further savings and efficiencies, the public must also realise that their Police Service already provides a broad range of community, protection and crime detection services that are at the heart of keeping Jersey safe – and that this comes at a cost.
