1. FOREWORD BY THE CHAIR OF THE JERSEY POLICE AUTHORITY

The  2015  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). Article 20 of the States  of  Jersey  Police  (Jersey)  Law  2012 makes  it  a  duty  of  the  Police  Authority  to provide a review of (a) the manner in which the objectives of the Annual Policing Plan for 2015 have been addressed by the SOJP and (b) the performance of the States of Jersey Police Force in general.

Since delivering the Policing Plan for 2015, the primary function of the JPA has been to ensure the delivery of the objectives laid out in the Plan by the States Police. The JPA adheres to the objectives of the Minister for Home Affairs and ensures that effective  collaboration  is  undertaken  between  all  partner  agencies  and stakeholders who work alongside the Police.

The JPA must also ensure that the SOJP can deliver its key aims and objectives within the resources available to them. As part of our duty to ensure the delivery of  these  objectives,  the  JPA  holds  regular  meetings  with  the  Police  Senior Management Team. The JPA also receives statistical analysis of all recorded crime figures on a monthly basis and uses these figures to measure performance against the Key Performance Indicators within the Police Plan. We independently analyse, monitor and document the information gathered during our meetings with the Police Senior Management Team on a quarterly basis, whilst continually reviewing police performance throughout the year. The JPA Chair also meets regularly with the Minister for Home Affairs as part of our tripartite relationship and to update the Minister on business matters.

This  year's  report  covers  the  second  full  year  that  the  JPA  has  overseen  the performance  of the States Police. It represents another very positive year for policing  in  Jersey  and  the  JPA  is  confident  in  the  work  that  the  SOJP  and,  in particular, it's senior officers are doing 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 remains  conscious  of  the  fact  that  the  States  of  Jersey  Police  are  required  to provide a variety of specialised services and, on many occasions, have to "multi- task" as officers can be expected to perform a range of services across a very varied

spectrum. This  is  regularly  achieved  well,  although  it  is  likely  to  come  under additional pressure as a consequence of the expected savings that are still being sought across all government sectors.

As the Chief Officer mentions in his statement, newly recorded statistics indicate a greater demand for policing services that are not related to criminal activities. To name just a few typical scenarios, requests for police intervention vary from dealing with lost property, professional and family concern for the welfare of vulnerable people and assisting to locate people who have gone missing. The JPA is closely monitoring how the public are requesting the assistance of the SOJP in order to ensure that the demand for policing services is met with the correct allocation of resources.

The approach which the JPA has adopted in conjunction with the States of Jersey Police is to establish clearer benchmarks and performance measures which make it easier to measure and report on performance. We are fortunate to have a highly experienced  and  committed  team  leading  the  SOJP  and  this  provides  a  strong platform for the delivery of high quality policing across the Island. This in turn, has once again led to a further reduction in the overall levels of recorded crime.

The JPA continues to act as a constructive and critical friend of the SOJP. During the summer months of 2015, the Jersey Police Authority published an online survey in order to understand how the public feel about the services provided by the States of Jersey Police. Full survey results can be found on our website.

In summary, the last twelve months has been another successful operating period for the SOJP with progress made in a number of areas in line with the 2015 Police Plan. However, findings from the survey and available management information demonstrate an  increasing demand for a wider range of services set against a backdrop of cost cutting across the public sector – both are likely to combine to place  new  pressures  on  the  SOJP  and  will  ideally  be  addressed  holistically  by government so as to mitigate potential  negative impact on police services and public goodwill.

Advocate Jonathan White, Chair Jersey Police Authority.

2. FOREWORD BY THE CHIEF OFFICER OF POLICE

The face of policing is changing, not just in Jersey but also across the United Kingdom. Over 75% of incidents attended by frontline officers do not relate to a crime but as the service of last resort, the Police are now increasingly involved in neighbour disputes, concerns

for the welfare of vulnerable people, mental health- related  incidents  and  missing  persons. This  is  in addition  to  the  increasing  complexity  and  risk  from digital  and  financial  crimes,  as  well  as  a  growing number of current and historic sexual assaults being reported. As a result, and whilst overall recorded crime is down by 2% (when compared with 2014), we have never been busier.  

Our core purpose remains unchanged; we protect life and property, and uphold the law by preventing and detecting crime.

Low levels of recorded crime have not happened by accident; whilst technology has helped,  the  style  of  Policing  we  have  delivered  during  the  last  five  years  has contributed to increasing levels of community safety, as well as higher levels of public trust and confidence in the Police.

21st Century policing now requires a broader range of skills and behaviours and, in addition to their day jobs, most officers also undertake additional specialist skills, which means we can deal with the majority of incidents without off-Island support.

During  2015,  we  successfully  introduced  a  number  of  new  initiatives.   We strengthened  our  community  policing  capability  by  reorganising  resources internally, and this has allowed us to work both more efficiently and effectively, in particular significantly reducing anti-social behaviour complaints. We re-visited our approach to equality, diversity and social inclusion and put in place new plans that should bear fruit in the forthcoming years. We continued to strengthen key

partnerships, in particular with our Honorary Police colleagues as well as those focusing on protecting vulnerable residents. We also made further investment in the skills and technology required to  combat the new threats posed  by digital crime. Most notably, we continued to review unsolved crimes and used modern DNA techniques to solve two high-profile sexual assaults; by doing so, we sent a clear message to offenders that we will continue to pursue them.

In recent years, the States of Jersey Police has cut out a number of inefficient practices  whilst  also  implementing  reforms  that  have  improved  our  overall effectiveness. Following lessons learned from Haut de la Garenne, we sought to refresh our relationship with the public, both through our actions and also by being open,  transparent  and  accountable;  we  are  also  more  visible  and approachable. The increase in public confidence is reflected by the greater number of sexual assault victims who now come to us for help and justice.

As a result, since 2010, we have delivered over £2.5m (11%) savings, reduced crime by a third, significantly reduced the fear of crime, and over 80% of Islanders now think we are doing a good job.

Looking to the future, we fully understand that the States of Jersey Police has an on-going responsibility to contribute to further budget savings. We will continue to work closely with the Jersey Police Authority and the Home Affairs Minister to minimise the impact this may have to public safety and Island security, ensuring that we continue to proactively prevent crime and protect vulnerable people.

Finally, I would like to thank the public for their support. Whenever we ask for their help it comes quickly and in abundance. That willingness to help others is one of the many reasons why my officers and staff are proud to serve our Island.

Mike Bowron, QPM Chief Officer of Police

3. THE CHANGING FACE OF POLICING

Figure 1: Summary of Demand for Police Services in 2015

1. Introduction

Overall levels of recorded crime have reduced by 23% from 2011 to 2015.

In light of the current financial pressures across the public sector, during 2015 the States of Jersey Police reviewed the demand for its services and this section of the Annual Report looks at how this demand  is  changing,  where  Police  resources  are  now  being directed, and what benefit they provide to Islanders.

In  addition  to  this  review  the  Jersey  Police  Authority  has  also required  the  Police  to  keep  more  information  about  their  key activities and performance, and these are now published on the Police's website and are available to the public [follow this link for 2015's performance framework].

Demand for Police services can be categorised in four distinct areas:  

• Responding  to  calls  from  the  public  (for  example,  attending  incidents,  or  responding to 999 calls, as well as non-emergency calls etc.)  
• Preventing crime, principally through using intelligence-led policing techniques  
• Investigating reported crimes - and which may subsequently lead to detection  and preparation for disposal at a Court or Parish Hall .  
• Supporting  our  communities  and  safeguarding  vulnerable  people  (for  example, missing persons, concern for welfare, domestic incidents, adult and  child protection etc.)  

In order to highlight the changing demands on policing, a comparison has been  made over a five year period, comparing 2015 activities with those in 2011.  

2. Responding to public calls for service

 Figure 2 (above) demonstrates that, whilst there are seasonal variations, the total number of incidents attended by the States of Jersey Police has remained broadly constant over the last five years.

Further analysis estimates that 75% of the incidents attended were for non-crime related  issues. Of  the  13,635  incidents  attended  in  2015,  the  top  six  activities accounted for over half (53%) of all incidents, and resulted in very few actual crimes being recorded or investigated.

Equally the research identifies that, whilst overall demand for Police services has remained broadly constant, the activities and work undertaken by the Police have changed considerably, in response to changing demands from the Public as well as changing criminal patterns and trends.

Figure 3 (opposite) shows this changing pattern of Police demand: there has been a

significant increase in the demand for non-crime services. For example, increases in welfare, mental health and firearms incidents.

A wide variety of issues are dealt with by the Police under the term welfare check.'  They tend to involve vulnerable people and include medical matters, concern for  child welfare, potential suicidal or self-harm tendencies, as well as vagrancy and  alcohol related issues.

The police continue to work with their key partners and stakeholders to address the  longer term challenges and solutions surrounding mental health and concerns for  welfare.  

3. Crime prevention

Crime prevention is at the heart of Police work. Sir Robert Peel's first principle of  policing was to prevent crime and disorder.' Equally his ninth (and last) principle  was to recognise always that the test of Police efficiency is the absence of crime  and disorder, and not the visible evidence of Police action...'  

As  such  the  success  of  any  Police  service  should  centre  on  the  absence  of,  or  reduction in, crime – as difficult as this may be to evidence. Figure 4 shows the reduction in recorded crime in Jersey over the last five years.

Since 2011, the States of Jersey Police has developed and implemented a number of key strategies aimed at preventing, reducing or otherwise disrupting criminal activity:

• Intelligence-led policing: This is where the Police analyse intelligence and historic crime patterns to anticipate where crimes or disruptive behaviour may take place in the future. They subsequently allocate and position Police Officers to these hotspots' to prevent crime taking place. An obvious example is where the States of Jersey Police double the number of officers on duty on Friday and Saturday nights and position them in known hotspots in St Helier; in parallel the Police also monitor licensees' compliance with the relevant Laws in these hotspot areas. Intelligence-led policing also covers much of the unseen work that goes on to prevent organised crime groups from becoming established in the Island - in particular surrounding the on-going supply and distribution of drugs. And finally, intelligence-led policing is at the heart of terrorism prevention measures adopted by both the Island and neighbouring countries.
• Prolific Priority Offenders: The Police actively manage career criminals or other prolific offenders in the Island. Whilst impossible to quantify, this has undoubtedly prevented a significant number of crimes from taking place locally.
• Community and high visibility Policing: The Police undertake a variety of work within the community to prevent crime. Activities range from education programmes in schools, attendance at Island-wide events, specific crime reduction initiatives, or even conducting door-to-door enquiries in the event of a serious crime. Community

Policing also provides a rich source of intelligence that enables officers to not only prevent (and detect) crime, but also helps to guage any potential areas of community disquiet in order that issues can be resolved, hopefully before they become problematic.

• Partnership working: The Police cannot prevent crime in isolation and increasingly they look for more holistic solutions with key partners in order to help address its root causes. For example, the Police work closely with Building a Safer Society (BaSS), contribute to the development of Island-wide drug and alcohol strategies, advise the Bailiff on licensee applications, as well as supporting the work of the Safeguarding Partnership Board (SPB) and Jersey Action Against Rape (JAAR).

4. Investigating and detecting crime

Overall levels of recorded crime reduced to 3,080 in 2015.

A comparison over the last five years (Figure 5) indicates there has been a change in the profile of recorded crime in the Island:

• There has been a significant drop in acquisitive crime (for example, theft and burglary), as well as offences against property.
• Whilst still relatively new, there has been a marked increase in digital crime over the last two years (increasing by 35% as compared to 2014).
• Equally there has been a sharp increase in offences against the person (Figure 6), and further analysis identifies that these increases have centred on grave and criminal assaults and sexual offences.
• More specifically, reported offences of rape increased from 15 (in 2014) to 36 (in 2015), of which 10 were historic cases (more than one year old). Second to homicide, offences of rape are the most serious and often the most complex and challenging investigations to complete.

The impact has been that the Police have seen:

• A reduction in high volume' type crimes that are relatively simple to investigate (for example, theft and burglary).
• Increases in serious crimes (grave and criminal assaults, sexual offences, digital and financial crimes) that are complex, high risk and resource intensive to investigate.
• A significant increase in workload for the Police's High-Tech Unit, as nearly all investigations now involve inspecting mobile phones, tablets, desktops and laptops etc.

As such, and whilst crime has dropped by 23% over five years, this has not translated directly into increased  capacity for Police investigators.  

5. Protecting vulnerable people

Protecting and supporting vulnerable people has been the biggest area of growth for the Police in recent years. Work undertaken by the Safeguarding Partnership Board (SPB) and Children and Vulnerable Adults Group (CAVA) are at the

forefront of an Island-wide drive to safeguard the most vulnerable people in our community.

The Police's involvement is extensive and includes:  

• Actively  managing  sex  offenders  and  known  violent  

offenders when they are released into the community,  

under  the  Jersey  Multi  Agency  Public  Protection  

Arrangements (JMAPPA).  

• Supporting the Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH)  

and  the  Multi-Agency  Risk  Assessment  Conference  

(MARAC) by sharing appropriate information amongst  

different agencies to enable the whole picture' to be  

seen. This includes domestic incidents attended by the

Police, as well Child and Adult Protection Notices that are

submitted when officers have any concerns about people's

welfare.

• A  good  deal  of  frontline  Police  work  is  also  dedicated  to protecting  and  supporting  vulnerable  people  –  from  looking  for missing  persons,  protecting  people  with  mental  health  illnesses,  to supporting victims of domestic abuse.

6. Conclusion  

There  has  been  a  23%  drop  in  recorded  crime  over  the  last  five  years. This  follows  the  introduction of key crime prevention strategies of Community Policing, Intelligence-led Policing,  High-Visibility Policing,  as well as focusing on known offenders. However, this  reduction in  recorded crime has not translated into an overall reduction to the demand for frontline Police  services which has remained broadly the same over the last five years. Frontline officers are now  increasingly involved in community based issues and, in particular, supporting vulnerable people  – for example, attending domestic abuse incidents, protecting vulnerable children, dealing with  missing persons and those with mental health illness.  

Police effort that was previously directed to relatively simple crimes (for example, investigating  malicious damage to vehicles, larceny and break and entry offences) is now directed to the  growth in offences against the person' (for example, sexual assaults, child sexual exploitation  and grave and criminal assaults) which are more complex, higher risk and significantly more  resource intensive to investigate. There has also been an increase in equally complex and high  risk areas of digital and financial crime, as well as a growth in terrorist prevention activities.  

And finally, the Police are now focused increasingly on protecting the most vulnerable in our  community. Whilst safeguarding initiatives such as MASH, MARAC and JMAPPA have established  important protections for vulnerable people, they have also created additional activities and  work for the Police; these range from changes to standard Police operating procedures, to  introducing new information sharing and partnership working practices.  

As such, whilst the demand for Police services has remained broadly the same over the last five  years, the make-up of Police work has changed considerably during the same period. The main  focus for the States of Jersey Police is now directed towards responding to emergencies and  community priorities, preventing crime, protecting vulnerable people in our Community, and  investigating a growing number of complex and high risk crimes.

4. PERFORMANCE AGAINST THE 2015 POLICING PLAN

1. Introduction

2015 saw the first plan developed by the Jersey Police Authority. This set out clearly defined and measurable activities and actions for the Police, such that the Authority could hold the performance of the States of Jersey Police to account.

The 2015 Policing Plan contained in total 196 separate tasks and activities:

• Of this 170 (87%) tasks and activities were completed.
• Of the 26 tasks (13%) not completed:

- 16 were awaiting input from a 3rd party (from outside the States of Jersey Police),

- 4 were still being actively worked on

- 6 were stopped during the year.

20 tasks and activities have been carried forward and will sit alongside the 2016 Policing Plan.

Four key Performance Indicators were set out in the 2015 Policing Plan:

1. >90% of people feel safe in their neighbourhood. (information to be received from the 2016 Jersey Annual Social Survey)
2. >80% of people think that the States of Jersey Police are doing a good job. (information to be received from the 2016 Jersey Annual Social Survey)
3. Response to 999 calls (Code 1 < 10 mins and Code 2 < 60 mins). (both targets achieved)
4. Detections (or other positive outcome) of > 34% for all recorded crime. (target achieved)

The Policing Plan was structured into six key strategic themes:

Figure 10: 2015 Policing Plan completion statistics

1. Being visible and responsive
2. Protecting our communities from harm
3. Bringing offenders to justice
4. Enhancing trust and confidence
5. Improving value for money
6. Investing for the future

These six key strategic themes are further explained from section 4.2 to section 4.7 of the Annual Report. Details of the 2015 Policing Plan can be found by following this link.

2. Being visible and responsive

1. Community Safety

During 2015 the States of Jersey Police:

• Responded to 13,635 calls for assistance from the public.

Detention and Bail

• Detained 1,866 people in Police cells under PPCE legislation.
• Called out Medical Examiners on 1,805 occasions, of which 176 related specifically to mental health issues.
• Managed 660 people on bail.

Use of Force

• Attended 38 incidents that required a firearms response.
• A firearm was discharged on a single occasion (3 shots were fired to humanely destroy a bull.)
• Tasers were un-holstered on 19 occasions.
• There were no Taser discharges.
• There were also no occasions when Police (ASP) batons were deployed.
• CS/PAVA spray was used on two occasions.
• There were 115 operational deployments of dogs (in addition to their general policing role.)

Road Traffic Collisions

• Officers responded to 257 Road Traffic Collisions (RTCs) where there was a slight injury, and 66 RTCs involving a serious injury. There were no fatal RTCs during 2015.

Police Officers spent a total of 6,795 hours undertaking firearms and Taser training and 680 hours undertaking first aid and personal safety training.

Whilst the longer term trend suggests relatively constant demand for Police services, 2015 saw a 7% reduction (when compared with 2014) in the number of incidents for frontline officers. Similarly, Custody detentions reduced by 16% (compared with 2014).

2. Anti-Social Behaviour

Whilst the new Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) strategy was not adopted during 2015 (this is being led by the Building a Safer Society (BaSS) initiative), a draft was developed by the States of Jersey Police whose principles

Figure 11: Police firearms training exercise

Figure 12: The Police's Control Room managed 13,635 calls for assistance by the public during 2015

were informally adopted during 2015. The introduction of the new Community Policing Team, combined with existing intelligence-led policing techniques, has also provided additional focus to ASB issues and during 2015 the Island saw a 21% reduction in ASB incidents (when compared to 2014).

3. Community Policing  

A key initiative for 2015 was to establish a new Community Policing Team (CPT) from within existing Police  resources; their role is to provide high visibility policing in St Helier at peak times, as well as increasing the  Police's visibility in all Parishes. The team also includes dog handlers, a small team dedicated to the licensing  trade, and specialist posts for Crime Reduction and Schools Liaison. These changes have been successful and  none more so that the newly created Schools Liaison post, which has proven beneficial to parents, the Education  Department, as well helping to educate and safeguard school children, and linking with the Prison! Me! No  Way!!! (PMNW) charity. During 2015 a key education message to school children centred on digital (cyber)  crime issues. The Community Policing team has a broad range of responsibilities which also include leading the  monthly Honorary Police tasking meetings, and advising the Bailiff 's Panel on licensing applications.  

During 2015 officers:  

• Patrolled Parishes for a total of 2,224 hours, and St Helier Town Centre for an additional 900 hours.  Figure 13: A joint community activity with Housing
• Conducted 204 school visits and sent 161 letters to parents.
• Completed 2,012 licensing checks and took action on 166 occasions (including giving Words of Advice').
• Spent 810 hours problem solving with local communities (for example, providing crime prevention advice  or resolving ASB, traffic concerns and neighbour disputes).  

4. Equality and Diversity  

In 2014 the States of Jersey Police reviewed and updated its approach to equality and diversity and much of 2015  involved implementing the agreed recommendations. SOJP now has nominated officers with specific responsibility  for better understanding and resolving the needs, issues and potential prejudices in the following key areas:  

• Disability  
• Age  
• Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBT)  
• Faith  
• Race  

In addition to nominated officers, each area also has a dedicated action plan and progress is monitored at regular  meetings chaired by the Deputy Chief Officer. Whilst much was achieved in 2015 to establish these individual  working  groups,  further  work  will  be  required  in  2016  before  the  revised  approach  is  fully  effective.

3. Protecting our Communities from harm

1. Anti-Terrorism

Managing the terrorist threat remains a high priority for the Police. It is an area where the Island must not only focus on its own security, but recognise its broader responsibilities to support the security and integrity of our European neighbours. Much of this work is classified and, as such, not visible to the public.

During 2015, the States of Jersey Police worked with key partners in the Island to ensure the correct response is in place in the event that the terrorist threat level continues to increase. During the year, four spontaneous exercises were run at the Island's ports. Each was unpredicted, involved the random engagement of travellers, and formed part of the States of Jersey Police's commitment to the UK's National Counter Terrorism Strategy.

As set out in the 2015 Policing Plan, the Police continued to maintain Island security and an effective counter terrorist capability, including fully integrating with the South West Police Region. As threats across the world developed throughout 2015, action was taken to keep all relevant agencies and partners within the Island up to date.

2. Protecting vulnerable people

An increasingly central role for the Police is to protect vulnerable people, or people at vulnerable times in their lives. At a policy level, much of this work is developed by the Safeguarding Partnership Board (SPB). During 2015, the SPB introduced a Children and Vulnerable Adults (CAVA) Panel, a Multi-Agency Child Death Policy and a Child Death Overview Panel. In addition, the States of Jersey Police also supported the introduction of a new Island-wide Suicide Prevention strategy.

During 2015, States of Jersey Police Officers:

• Detained 67 vulnerable people in cells as a place of safety.'
• Attended 1,023 domestic violence incidents, which included 269 incidents involving high risk' parties.
• Submitted 1,860 child protection notifications and 931 adult protection notifications.
• Responded to 480 missing person reports, of which 324 were unauthorised absences from residential care homes.
• Attended 1,239 incidents where there was a concern for welfare'; reasons varied from checking the health and wellbeing of residents following calls from concerned neighbours, to people who were self-harming or suicidal, and people who were struggling with a variety of mental health issues.
• Submitted 378 notifications to the Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH).

SOJP also actively supported the recently launched Jersey Action Against Rape (JAAR) charity, as well as the White Ribbon campaign aimed at stopping all violence towards women.

S t a t e s  o f  J e r s e y  P o l i c e  2 0 1 5  A n n u a l  R e p o r t

During 2015, the Police also worked closely with the Health and Social Services Department to find suitable long term solutions to address the current use of Police cells as a place of safety' for vulnerable people (in particular people with mental health illnesses).

3. Managing Sex Offenders, Known Violent Offenders, and Prolific Offenders

During 2015 the States of Jersey Police:

• Completed 135 reviews of sex and known violent offenders, as part of the Jersey Multi Agency Public Protection Agency (JMAPPA) process.
• Conducted 144 stop and searches under PPCE legislation, giving rise to 192 recorded offences.

As of December 2015, there were 69 Registered Sex Offenders (RSOs) residing within the local community who are actively managed by the States of Jersey Police. Three of these offenders have surpassed the initial minimum period of registration and are eligible to apply for removal, but have chosen not to de-register. A further nine are eligible to apply for removal from the register by the end of 2016.

By the end of 2016, it expected that a further nine RSOs will join the sex offender register, and there are a further 20 persons currently serving prison sentences who are expected to be released by 2019, and will require active management by the Police.

4. Crime prevention and reduction

To support business, specific crime reduction initiatives continued with particular focus on:

• Introducing the Shop Alert' scheme.
• Preventing shoplifting.
• Improving awareness of cyber-crime threats for local businesses.
• Continuing to work closely with both the Licensing Trade and Financial Services Sector.

Shop Alert is an on-line information sharing forum for Island retailers that has been set up by the States of Jersey Police. It quickly and securely shares information and photos with shops to alert them to known and persistent shoplifters, or other persons of interest to the Police. Over 160 shops have signed up to an information sharing agreement and have access to this secure area of the States of Jersey Police's website. Whilst its main purpose is to prevent crime, it is now also being used to share information and details of stolen goods amongst Island retailers.

During 2015, the Police ran 15 awareness campaigns and a number of prevention and reduction activities were also developed for individuals, families, clubs and organisations. The key themes for 2015 centred on:

• Awareness to the dangers of New Psychoactive Substance (NPS).
• Zero tolerance on Domestic Violence.
• Road Safety, in particular the Let's look out for each other' campaigns.
• Improved awareness of digital crime. During 2015, 41,500 households received leaflets (Figure 11 opposite). In addition, advice and guidance was given to the various local agencies that represent vulnerable groups.

Figure 15: Cyber-crime leaflets were delivered to Jersey households in 2015

5. Road Safety

The Police ran 14 road safety campaigns during 2015, including the Let's look out for each other' and a Christmas drink-driving campaign. In parallel, officers continued to focus on educating road users, in addition to their traditional enforcement role.

During 2015 the States of Jersey Police:

• Recorded 3,691 Traffic offences, and
• Issued 3,390 Words of Advice' in relation to potential breaches of the Island's Road Traffic Laws.

However,  during  2015,  there  was  no  significant overall improvement in road safety across the Island  in comparison to 2014.  

6. St. Helier Night Time Economy Violence  

In  recent  years  the  Island  has  seen  significant  reductions  in  Night  Time  Economy  (NTE)  related  violence. However,  2015  saw  an  11%  increase  (when  compared  to  2014). Whilst  this  translates  into only 23 more NTE crimes than in 2014, it forms  part of a broader trend of increasing assaults against  people.  

The causes for these NTE violence increases are not  yet  clear  and  the  States  of  Jersey  Police  will  continue to work closely with the Licensing Trades  to  better  understand  any  underlying  reasons. In  addition, the Police will maintain increased officer  visibility  and  availability  on  Friday  and  Saturday  nights at known hotspots' in the Island.

4. Bringing offenders to justice

Overall levels of recorded crime reduced by 2% during 2015 (compared with 2014).

1. Acquisitive Crime

In  2015  high  volume  acquisitive'  crimes  reduced  by  21%,  compared  to  2014.   This reflects  a  combination  of  education  and  prevention  activities,  as  well  as  targeting persistent  offenders.  Following  on  from  the  success  of  previous  campaigns,  further initiatives were carried out in 2015 focusing on bike security and safety; there were 102 cycle thefts in 2015, a 22% reduction compared with 2014.

There has also been a notable reduction in larceny from shops. Officers have supported and worked with those outlets with persistent issues. This has contributed to an 18%

reduction when compared to 2015.

Theft from unattended vehicles has reduced by 35% and burglary offences by 17%; again it is expected that intelligence-led policing and actively managing persistent offenders has contributed to these reductions.

2. Offences against property

Malicious damage remained at broadly similar levels to 2014 and other property crime', which increased to 49 offences (a 69% increase compared with 2014), resulted mainly from breaches of the Fire Service Law; for example resulting from setting litter bins on fire.

3. Offences against the person

In 2015, there were increases in common assault (11%), grave and criminal assault (38%) and  harassment  offences  (15%). Whilst  some  of  these  increases  may  be  linked  to increases in Night Time Economy Violence, this represents part of a longer term shift in crime patterns – in which we are seeing a reduction in high volume acquisitive-type crimes' and an increase in offences against the person'.

Table 1: Acquisitive Crime recorded in 2014 and 2015

Table 2: Offences against property recorded in 2014 and 2015

Table 3: Offences against the person recorded in 2014 and 2015

1. Sexual Offences: 2015 saw a 32% increase (when compared with 2014) in all reported sexual offences. It is likely that this is due principally to an increase in reports to the Police, and not necessarily an increase in the overall number of sexual offences that have taken place. This increase has largely taken place following high profile National exposure in the wake Jimmy Savile's death (Operation Yew Tree) in the UK, and the conclusion of the Haut de la Garenne investigation (Operation Rectangle) and the Independent Care Inquiry locally. Local officers, staff and key partners are also better trained and able to identify instances of sexual offending. In addition, and whilst this might indicate changing social attitudes and increasing confidence in the Police, it also represents a significant increase in the number of complex, high- risk and resource intensive investigations.

Of the 36 reported offences of Rape in 2015, 14 remain subject to on-going investigation. In 12 reported cases, whilst the alleged offender was identified, the victim either declined to make a formal complaint or there was insufficient evidence to prosecute. It was established that in 4 cases no offence had taken place, and in 2 cases no suspect was identified. As such, of the 36 recorded Rapes in 2015, only 4 (11%) have so far culminated in a charge and detection, further emphasising the challenges associated with these complex and challenging offences.

Focusing more narrowly on recorded offences of child sexual abuse, 2015 saw a 25% increase in these investigations (59 v 74), when compared with 2014. The increase is in the number of indecent assaults on males and rapes of females. Again, child sexual abuse investigations are complex, time consuming and resource intensive.

2. Child abuse: Whilst the number of Child Protection Notifications (CPNs) reduced by 20% in 2015 (compared with 2014), the number of resultant criminal investigations reduced by only  5.6%  over  the  same  period. The  conversion  rate  between  notification  and investigation has increased from 29% to 34% suggesting more appropriate referrals and supporting more efficient practices.
3. Adult abuse: In 2015 the number of Adult Protection Notifications (APNs) continued to increase, rising to 931 in 2015 (49% increase when compared to 2014). The number of criminal investigations has similarly increased to 141 in 2015. In 2014 the conversion rate from notification to criminal investigation was 11% which increased to 15% in 2015; the combined impact has been that adult abuse investigations have more than doubled (67 v 141)  in  the  year  since  2014. Equally,  the  relatively  low  conversion  rate  from  adult notification to criminal investigation might also indicate that the Police's primary role in this area is to refer vulnerable adults that are in need of safeguarding support.

4. Domestic Assaults: The Police attended over 1000 domestic violence incidents, which led to 311 domestic assault investigations during 2015. This was an 11% decrease when compared to 2014. Domestic abuse is a complex issue and much has changed in recent years with regard to the Police's response to it. Support to high-risk victims has been transformed, with Independent Domestic Violence Advisers (IDVAs) and Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARACs) in place to make sure that victims have access to a range of support options. There is now a more systematic approach to risk identification by the Police and both supervisory input and scrutiny is mandatory. Whilst this requires significant additional work and resource, it has helped  to improve the Island's response to domestic abuse.  

4. Drugs  

Preventing illegal drugs from being imported, distributed and sold in the Island relies heavily on intelligence and  proactive  policing. As  such  the  level  of  drugs  seizures  can  be  a  reflection  of  Police  and  Jersey  Customs  and  Immigration Service's (JCIS) activities, rather than an indication of the overall level of illegal drugs activity in the  Island.  

2015 saw a 14% reduction in the detection of drug-related crime. The longer term trend also suggests that the Island  has seen a 20% reduction in drugs related offences over the last five years. Key achievements for 2015 included:  

• Delivering a new campaign addressing the threat of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS), or so called legal  highs'. This was mainly focused towards young people, was developed in partnership with Prison! Me! No  Way!!! (PMNW) and its delivery involved a number of uniformed services.
• Working  closely  with  JCIS,  the  Police  continued  to  disrupt  the  supply  of  drugs  and  New  Psychoactive  Figure 18: New police drugs dogs will also be able to Substances (NPS). For example, during 2015, and following a long term intelligence led operation, officers  detect firearms and cash

seized £1.2m of cannabis and arrested two offenders.  

• The Police looked to develop a new Island-wide drugs strategy by supporting the Building a Safer  

Society (BaSS) initiative. This strategy is nearing completion.  

5. Digital crime and Hi-Tech investigations  

The  States  of  Jersey  Police  continued  its  on-going  

2014 2015 2015 v 2014 investment in combatting digital crime and supporting  

Crimes 147 196 33% Hi-Tech investigations. 2015 saw a 35% growth in crimes  

Process 14 21 50% requiring digital analysis and investigation. As such, the  

161 217 35% Police redeployed additional internal resources to further  

strengthen this important and fast moving area.  

Table 4: Digital Crimes and Process  

Figure 19: Distribution of High Tech Crime investigations investigations in 2014 and 2015

6. Financial crime

The Police's Joint Financial Crime Unit (JFCU) exists within a wider framework of legislative and regulatory bodies within the Island that provide strategic and operational functions to combat financial crime, money-laundering and terrorist financing. The JFCU has close relationships with both the Jersey Financial Services Commission (JFSC) and Law officer's Department (LOD); JFCU also comprises officers from JCIS.

Investigating financial crime can be an extremely complex, time-consuming and resource intensive global process that involves several other jurisdictions. During 2015 the JFCU started seven new cases, whilst also concluding seven investigations. Key successes during 2015 included:

Table 5: Financial crime investigations for 2014 and 2015

• An investigation involving a Jersey-based global holiday scam involving members of an organised crime

syndicate. Victims believed they were booking holiday apartments in the United States or Mexico, whereas

no services were provided and money was being fraudulently transferred to different accounts under assumed names. One person was sentenced to 2 years and a second person also received a 10½ month prison sentence.

• In a landmark case, an individual was also sentenced to 12 months in prison having provided the Jersey Financial Services Commission with false and misleading information in an attempt to acquire a regulated Trust Company business.

In addition to investigating complex financial crime, the JFCU also processes a high volume of  

Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), Requests for Assistance (RFAs), and Miscellaneous Information  Suspicious Avtivity Reports (SARs)

Requests (MIRs). The significant reduction in MIRs in 2015 (33% reduction compared to 2014)  Requests for Assistance (RFAs)

resulted  from  a  change  in  recording  practices  following  the  introduction  of  new  Financial  Miscellaneous Information requests (MIRs)

Intelligence Regulations in March 2015; it should not imply a reduction in activity, and these

recording practices have now been adjusted. SARs have increased by 68% since 2008, and 25%  Table 6: JFCU core process activities for 2014 and 2015 since 2011. Equally, the five year trend for all 3 process activities has seen them increase by 12%.

The MONEYVAL fourth round' mutual evaluation of Jersey was agreed in December 2015 and is expected be published in the first half of 2016. The report will be reviewed by the States of Jersey Police (along with other Island agencies) who will look to take forward any agreed and funded recommendations.

In addition, JFCU contributed locally to multi-agency roadshows that took place in 2015 with Trading Standards, Community Savings, Citizens Advice Bureau and JFSC. These focused on preventing financial and digital crime.

5. Enhancing trust and confidence  

The  2015  Policing  Plan  highlighted  a  number  of  areas  in  which  the  Police  sought  to  improve  its  visibility,  transparency and openness. A summary of key achievements during 2015 includes:  

• Maintaining a high visibility policing presence at peak times.  
• Responding to emergencies promptly (and within agreed timescales).  
• Strengthening contact with the local Community and better understanding their concerns and issues.  
• Updating the Police's approach to Equality and Diversity.  
• Adopting the recently published UK Code of Ethics as best practice guide to complement the Code of  Conduct that is set out in Jersey Law.  
• Updating the crime recording standards.  
• Publishing detailed information concerning Police Activity and Performance on its website each quarter  during 2015.  Figure 20: Public Concerns for Safety
• Responding to 66 Freedom of Information requests.  % public who have safety concerns (by type of crime)
• The  Witness  Care  Team  (which  helps  victims  and  witnesses through  the  criminal  justice  process)  was  (source: JASS 2010, 2012, 2014) strengthened by the recruitment and training of six new volunteers.  
• Progress has been made in addressing the improvements in the Vetting and Disclosure services, with new  policies  in  place,  although  the  move  to  an  on-line  solution  has  been  delayed  due  to  technology  complications with UK systems.  

The 2014 Jersey Annual Social Survey (JASS) indicated generally high levels of public confidence in the States of  Jersey Police (Figure 21), as well as a continuing reduction in the public's concerns for their safety (Figure 20). Over  90% of residents felt safe in their local neighbourhood (within a 5 minute walk of their home). These questions will  be asked again as part of the 2016 JASS survey; in the meantime, internal surveys by the Police suggest that these  performance levels are being maintained.  

 In addition the Jersey Police Authority conducted its own survey during 2015 to better understand the prevailing  needs of Island residents and whether current policing priorities and performance are meeting their needs. The

results from this survey, when combined with the 2016 JASS survey results, will be used to help inform Policing Plans  Figure 21: Indicators of Public trust and confidence in in future years.  (source: JASthSe2P0ol10ice, 2012, 2014)

6. Improving value for money

Much of 2015 was dominated by the need to identify savings to support the broader States of Jersey's requirement to reduce Public Sector expenditure. 2015's budget allocation was reduced by 2% from the previous year, and throughout the year the Police put together detailed plans to assess the impact of additional (and potentially significant) budget reductions for 2017-2019.

In anticipation of these budget cuts the Police developed a Savings Strategy which highlighted a number of ways to prepare for more austere times. It also linked closely with the 5 key themes of Jersey's Public Sector reform programme:

• Lean
• e-Government
• Workforce Modernisation
• Culture
• Modern Office

For more information on each of these [please follow this link].

As a result, during 2015, the States of Jersey Police:

• Developed a new organisational structure and workforce plan in order to optimise both efficient and effective Policing for the Island.
• Designed a new Operating Model that more accurately reflects present day demand for Police services. In addition the Police subsequently established a small, dedicated team to start to implement the required changes; this work will continue into 2016.
• Developed a business case and was awarded funding for the introduction of new (mobile) technology to deliver core process efficiencies and enhance Officer visibility; this work is set to start in Q2, 2016.

• Identified opportunities to work more efficiently through greater collaboration with key partners (for example cut out duplication in intelligence services provided by both the Police and the Jersey Customs and Immigration Service).
• Implemented a number of Lean reviews' across all Police Departments, as follows:

- Streamlined absence reporting.

- Streamlined typing pool processes.

- Reviewed and streamlined sudden death practices and procedures.

- Enabled GPS tracking via Tetra radios.

- Reviewed and streamlined all policies and procedures.

- Reviewed and streamlined document library to improve knowledge management.

In total the Police identified savings and efficiencies totalling £52,100, including saving 1,053 hours of frontline activity through more efficient practices.

Other non-financial benefits have also included service improvements, improved partnership working and information sharing, In addition, a number of key operational processes were reviewed and mapped across core police functions and activities.

In order to further enhance the Police's organisational performance and effectiveness, a modern and relevant performance framework that supports effective decision making, planning and management control was introduced and is now published on the Police's website quarterly.

A similar review into Corporate Risk was also completed during 2015.

7. Investing for the future  

1. Capital expenditure  

The  key  investment  during  2015  centred  on  the  new  Police  Headquarters  building,  and  this  project  progressed on time and within budget throughout the year. The bulk of work for 2016 will focus on its  fitting out and testing, prior to it being occupied during the first 3 months of 2017.  

Work to upgrade the Police's current CCTV network was completed and significant progress was also  made regarding the development of new CCTV sites (following public consultation).  

2. Revenue expenditure  Figure 22: Construction started on the New Police HQ During 2015, the States of Jersey police successfully applied for Public Sector Reform funding in order to

introduce mobile technology. Development work will now take place during 2016 and new applications  are expected to be introduced during 2017 and 2018.  

3. Training and Development  

The delivery costs for training and development were reviewed and the introduction of NCalt (an e- learning platform) should now enable cost reductions to be achieved in the future. The Training and  Development Team also generated approximately £20,000 of income during 2015 by providing a number  of training services to the Honorary Police, other States Departments as well as the Private Sector. In the  current financial climate and pressure on Police manpower, it is unlikely that this income generation will  be maintained in future years.

5. HIGHLIGHTS AND CHALLENGES

1. Highlights during 2015

2. Key Challenges

1. Funding constraints

The key challenge facing the States of Jersey Police surrounds current and on-going funding. In addition to the programme of Public Sector Reform being undertaken by SOJP, the Jersey Police Authority (JPA) tasked the Police to critically review their current organisational structure and manpower levels. Following scrutiny by the JPA, the Chief Minister and Home Affairs Minister, the Police Authority concluded that Police resources are currently sufficient to meet the requirements of SOJP, but further pressures on budget will require the police to respond differently. As such, future budget reductions may need to be accompanied by reductions in services provided by the Police. In the meantime, the Police will continue with their programme to modernise and improve efficiencies where they can.

2. Protecting Vulnerable People

Protecting and supporting vulnerable people is now a core Policing activity that is increasing. In 2015 this ranged from detaining 68 people in cells as a place of safety', undertaking 2,800 adult and child protection notifications, attending and dealing with over 1,000 domestic abuse incidents,  responding to 480 missing persons reports, as well as supporting people who were self-harming or potentially suicidal.

3. Increasing crimes against the person

There is a clear trend  of a reduction in theft-type offences and an increase in offences against the person.' In particular there is already evidence of an increase in assaults – common assaults, grave and criminal assaults and sexual assaults. These can be complex and time-consuming to investigate, particularly those of an historic nature, and victims also need significantly more support. There is also a compound effect that an increase in sexual offences also leads to an increase in

people  being  managed  on  the  Sex  Offenders  Register. There  are  currently  69 Registered Sex Offenders being actively managed by the Police.

4. Increasing Digital and Finance process and investigation activity

The volume of financial crime and process activity is expected to increase, in particular as joint working between agencies becomes more effective. The complexity and scale of these investigations means that each one requires significant resources and effort to bring to a conclusion; this already requires cases to be prioritised and, in the absence of additional resources, may lead to investigations taking longer to complete.

As people become increasingly reliant on their mobile phones, tablets, laptops and home computing equipment, so these devices need to be checked; this now applies routinely to all investigations and not just those with a cyber or internet bias. Digital crime is still relatively new and is growing rapidly, as is the quantity of data being stored and the increasingly sophisticated encryption that is deployed to protect it. Whilst SOJP has already invested in its High-Tech capability, this is expected to continue into the foreseeable future. The fast moving world of technology also places considerable strain to ensure Officers and Technicians remain up-to-date with the latest technology hardware and software. Burn-out also remains a real threat as investigators spend increasing amounts of time reviewing harrowing and illegal images. Without continuing investment and adequate resources, the High-Tech Unit could potentially develop into a bottleneck for all investigations.

5. 2015 Policing Plan activities not completed

The requirement to review the Police's Inspectorate (internal audit) function was not undertaken; resource constraints led to this function being disbanded and the development of a new approach of peer reviews by other Small Island Police Forces.
