officers now standing at just 190 FTE. The Authority does not currently believe

that these two trends are linked and has been reassured that the new policing

model is delivering operational efficiencies, as well as taking comfort that new

recruiting has taken place.

I wish to put on record my thanks and appreciation to the officers and staff of

the States of Jersey Police. They have endured a process of year on year change and adaptation involving their working practices, senior leadership and available resources. They have met these challenges with a professionalism that is inspiring and deserve to have that professionalism recognised and supported. To that end

I encourage you to read this year's annual report and to understand more about the commendable work that SOJP has achieved during 2018.
