3. WHAT DO THE PUBLIC THINK OF  THE STATES OF JERSEY POLICE?

Every 2 years, as part of the Jersey Opinion and Lifestyle Survey (JOLS), local residents  are asked how well they think the States of Jersey Police is performing, and whether they  think the Force is focused on the right issues. It is important that the public have both  trust and confidence in their police force. This principle forms the backbone of policing  with consent', which was first introduced by Sir Robert Peel.  

Confidence in the States of Jersey Police remains high with 82% of adults saying that SOJP  is doing a good job of policing the Island. Two-thirds of people also think the States'  Police are targeting the right issues.  

Whilst 94% of residents said they felt safe in their local neighbourhood, in 2016 (for the  first time) local adults were asked about their fear of digital crime. More than 4 in 10  respondents said they were very or fairly worried about becoming the victim of digital  crime. As a consequence, the States' Police were able to respond immediately and  include greater emphasis on digital crime in their 2017 Policing Plan.

4. THE CHANGING FACE OF POLICING  

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).  
• 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 Enquiry.  
• Supporting our communities and safeguarding vulnerable people (for example, policing major  events, managing major incidents, responding to missing persons, concerns for welfare, domestic  incidents, adult and child protection).

Out of the 12,937 incidents attended by front line officers, the top six categories accounted for  over half (51%). Of these top 6 categories only one involves criminal activity, and the remainder  are all non-crime related. Further analysis estimates that 78% (2015, 75%) of all incidents  attended by officers were not crime related. Whilst the levels of recorded crime have reduced  significantly in recent years, so there has been significant growth in non-crime related issues  that require police attention and action.  

This change is demonstrated by a 5 year comparison (2016 v 2012). It shows there has been a  significant  increase  in  the  demand  for  non-crime  related  police  services.   For  example,  increases in welfare ckecks and mental health issues. A wide variety of issues are dealt with by  the Police under the term welfare check.' These 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 States' Police continue to work with their key partners and stakeholders to address the longer term challenges and solutions surrounding mental health, concerns for welfare and those who are in crisis. The ongoing work includes the exploration and trialling of a mental health street triage' partnership between the Police and Health and Social Services Department and the establishment of both  a  'place  of  safety'  and  crisis  centre'  in  order  to  provide  the  most appropriate environment and care for those in need, and which avoids the inappropriate use of police cells.

In addition to information and statistics contained within this Annual Report, SOJP publishes further information about its key activities and performance every  quarter  on  their  website  [follow  this  link  for  2016's  performance framework].

Recorded crime fell by 6.1% between 2015 and 2016, this represents a 24.4% reduction since 2012. However, this masks the changing patterns of crime. Some categories of crime have actually seen small increases over the same periods. For example;

• Whilst there were 10 more burglaries in 2016 than 2015, the longer term trend has seen an overall reduction of 138 (-46%) burglaries since 2012.
• The differences between 2012 and 2015 saw an increase of 200 crimes against the person (+16.8%), however the change from 2015 to 2016 saw this trend reversed with a significant reduction of 173 crimes in this category (-12.4%).

6. CRIME

The increase in drugs crimes reflects 88 additional crimes than were recorded in 2015. Drug offences are almost exclusively detected as a direct result of intelligence-led and targeted policing.

Following the Drugs Review in 2015, SOJP have supported and helped to promote the introduction of a multi-agency board (Drugs and Alcohol Action Team) during 2016.

The 2016 Jersey Opinion Lifestyle Survey (JOLS) report highlighted that 4 out of 10 adults were very or fairly worried about being a victim of digital crime. During the year, steps were taken to ensure that all frontline officers and staff received critical training in order to project a consistent service to the public. Further, to ensure island- wide protection for critical services and effective partnership working for all interested parties, the States' Police

on-going investigation and prosecution.

As tasked in the 2016 Policing Plan, officers and police staff continued to develop their expertise and capability in the priority area of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE).

Opportunities for the early identification of Child Sexual Exploitation (or potential CSE) offences were also developed, leading to the creation and introduction of a CSE pathway. At the same time, the States Police ensured that relevant information and intelligence relating to victims, offenders and locations was shared and tasked effectively.

In order to review how best to provide support and guidance to victims, in particular from hard to reach parts of our community, a CSE awareness day was held on the 18th March 2016.

7. SAFEGUARDING  

Work undertaken by the Safeguarding Partnership Board (SPB) and Children and Vulnerable Adults  Group (CAVA) are at the forefront of the Island-wide drive to safeguard the most vulnerable people in  our community.  

During 2016, the police's involvement was extensive and included:  

• Actively managing 84 (2015, 75) sex offenders and known violent offenders when they were  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 officers, as well  Child and Adult Protection Notices that are submitted when officers have any concerns about  people's  welfare.  During  the  year,  the  MARAC  also  supported  159  (2015,  145)  high  risk  domestic abuse victims.  
• 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.

• Behind-the-scenes work took place to redefine ethnicity codes to support more accurate information and reporting of

victims, suspects, defendants and offenders within the Criminal Justice System (CJS). It is expected that this will also help

to identify trends to facilitate increased engagement and understanding in the future.

• The Force also participated in local research into violence against women and to improve understanding of the barriers to reporting violent and sexual offences by minority communities in Jersey in order to develop more effective support and help.

Faith

• The Force continues to maintain good lines of communication with multiple Faith representatives in the community as well as having an increased community presence and interaction with Salvation Army at their newly opened community centre.

Disability

• SOJP continued to have strong participation in disability sector group meetings throughout the year, including Community Officers giving a number of presentations.
• The Police held 2 Community Engagement days (in July & September 2016) which were attended by Eye Cam, Autism Jersey, Mencap, Brig-a-Don and Deaf Society.

Age

• As well as continued participation in Heads of Care Homes' quarterly meetings, officers have also met several times with Age Concern and other groups that represent our more mature citizens. Participation also took place with the Safeguarding Prevention Strategy Group.

9. KEY EVENTS AND CHALLENGES  

Funding constraints  

A key challenge faced by the States of Jersey Police surrounds current and on-going  funding. A review of finances and the development of plans took place to ensure  that despite these financial challenges the SOJP would remain effective and efficient.  

Protecting and supporting vulnerable people is now a core Policing activity.  In  comparison to 2012, there has been a 178% increase in Mental Health and a 37%  increase  in  Welfare  incidents  attended  by  officers.  In  addition,  the  Force  has  considerable on-going resource commitment to the Safeguarding Partnership Board's  strategies and plans; for example MASH, MARAC, JMAPPA and SARC. The SOJP has  also responded to the new threats posed by digital crime, both with public education  programmes as well as strengthening its Hi-Tech Crime Investigation Unit. This is  important  work,  and  along  with  unseen  intelligence  and  anti-terrorist  activities,  represents the modern, 21st Century face of policing.  

Further work will occur to educate the public that police activity and funding cannot  be linked directly to the levels of recorded crime. Policing, even in a relatively safe  island such as Jersey, is significantly more complex. Recorded crime accounts for less  than 25% of police incidents, and no obvious correlation or formula exists between  levels of recorded crime and budget allocation.  

In preparation for the 2017 budget reductions, a number of significant changes have  been introduced. For example:  

1. Operation THRIVE  

Operation THRIVE reviewed and changed how the police respond to the demand  for  their  services,  and  how  calls  for  service  are  handled,  prioritised  and  responded  to.  It  included  the  introduction  of  an  automated  call-routing  telephone system,

increasing self-service capability for the public on the Police's website, and a new desktop service' that aims to either resolve issues there and then, refer the matter to a different agency (if this is more appropriate) or make an appointment to see an officer for non-urgent matters. Emergency response (999 calls) remain unchanged.

2. New Operating Model and Organisation Structure

The Police reviewed their core operations and services and strengthened their commitment to the two key concepts of Intelligence-led policing and community-based policing. The aim is to ensure SOJP is focusing its limited resources to the areas of greatest priority and need, whilst also developing a model that is more flexible and adaptable to the current financial climate. As a result, a minor re-organisation of teams and functions also took place; this in turn has helped the Force to meet its reduced budget allocation for 2017.

3. SMARTPolice mobile technology project

Significant progress has been made towards the introduction of new mobile technology which is on track to deliver savings in 2018 and 2019. Following a successful device trial it seems likely that mobile devices will now be issued during the first half of 2017, prior to new mobile apps being developed. This approach will not only deliver additional (unplanned) benefits and efficiencies, but will also help officers to get used to new ways of working.

New Police Headquarters

Throughout 2016 officers saw the new Headquarters being built, started planning for the move in Q1, 2017, as well as the de-commissioning of the old Headquarters. This is an exciting time for the Force as it looks to move into its first ever purpose built building. SOJP took possession of the new building in December 2016 and the remainder of the time will be spent fitting out and testing equipment and systems. To date, the project remains on time and within budget allocation.

Increasing crimes against the person

The reduction in offences against the person, in particular a 13% drop in the overall number of sex offences, has masked a small increase in indecent assaults and rapes against women over the same period. These can be complex and time-consuming to investigate, in particular those of an historic nature. 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 80 (69 in 2015) Registered Sex Offenders being actively managed by the Police.

Increasing Digital and Finance process and investigation activity

As noted in the 2016 Jersey Opinion and Lifestyle Survey (JOLS), 4 out of 10 adults are very or fairly worried about being a victim of digital crime and that over 60% of respondents felt that helping protect Jersey from digital crime was a very high or high priority task for the Police.

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. In addition to implementing the recommendations from the Money Val report, the States' Police will also contribute to and participate in the Island's formulation of a National Risk Assessment of financial crime, as required by the International Anti-Laundering Standards.

Public satisfaction

With 94% of adults feeling safe and 82% thinking the States of Jersey Police are doing a good job, it is important that the Police management teams continue to strive to provide the best service they can and remain responsive to community needs and issues.

4. PERFORMANCE AGAINST THE 2016 POLICING PLAN

Introduction  2%

2% Similar to last year, in its Annual Policing Plan, the Jersey Police Authority set out  8% 10%

clearly defined and measureable activities and actions for the States of Jersey

Police, such that the JPA could hold to account the performance of the Force.

The 2016 Policing Plan contained in total 129 separate tasks and activities:

• Of this total, 100 (78%) tasks and activities were completed.
• Of the 29 tasks (22%) not completed:

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

- 16 were still being actively worked on, and

- 3 were stopped during the year.

As such, the 26 outstanding tasks and activities have been carried forward and will sit alongside the 2017 Policing Plan.

Details of the 2016 Policing Plan can be found by following this link.

In 2016, the Policing Plan was structured into four key strategic themes:

1. Keep people safe
2. A service that is valued
3. Safeguard and support the community
4. Modernise the Organisation

5. RESOURCES  Expenditure  

Actual expenditure for 2016 (net of miscellaneous income of £457k) amounted to £24.134 million, compared to a budget  of £24.298m, reflecting an underspend of approximately £164k (0.67%)  

• Similar to previous years, the majority of the expenditure relates to manpower costs, which amounted to  £20.669million, with Police Officers costs totalling £14.951million  
• Supply and Services costs amounted to £2.648million, of which hired services, police doctors' fees, travel and  accommodation and IT costs were the main contributors  
• Included in Administration costs of £0.306million are the costs associated with training, conference fees, travel  and entertainment expenditure etc.  
• Premises costs associated with running Police Operations amounted to £0.960million  
• Other operating expenses amounted to £8.9k  

Human Resources  

At the end of 2016, the States of Jersey Police had an establishment of 315.06 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) officers and  staff, split two-thirds (214.41 FTE) Police Officers to one-third (100.65 FTE) civilian staff.  

This reflects a year-on-year reduction of 19 FTE,  comprising a reduction of 4.0 FTE police officers,  and a reduction of 15.0 FTE civilian staff.  

Notwithstanding  these  reductions,  SOJP  still  managed to recruit 10 new officers who joined in  October 2016, in recognition of expected leavers  and known retirees.

During 2016 the Force lost an average of 8.2 days per officer to sickness absence, and 5.8 days per civilian employee.

According to calculations from the Office of National Statistics, Jersey has the fewest officers per 1,000 population when compared to Guernsey, Isle of Man, England & Wales.

6. INFORMATION REQUIRING DISCLOSURE UNDER LAW

According to law the States of Jersey Police are required to provide the following information in their Annual Report:

Custody

There were 1,713 (2015 1,866) people detained in police custody during 2016. This figure includes people who were detained more than once and represents a 8% reduction on 2014's total.

PPCE Searches  

Under the Police Procedures and Criminal Evidence (Jersey) Law 2003 (PPCE) the Police are required to publish information on specific searches:

Intimate Searches and PPCE vehicle checks

• There were no intimate searches carried out by a registered medical practitioner in police custody during 2016.
• There were 8 vehicle checks conducted under Article 13 of the Police Procedures and Criminal Evidence (Jersey) Law 2003.

PPCE Stop and Search

• During 2016, 92 people were stopped and searched for drugs, stolen articles, offensive weapons and for other prohibited items. As shown in the table below, this resulted in 124 recorded offences; some searches yielded more than one recorded offence. Figures in brackets refer to the number of people arrested as a consequence of having been searched.
