Tribute for our Minister for   Home Affairs Len Norman

Flags were flown at half-mast in Jersey in  honour of the Home Affairs Minister, who died  on Tuesday (1 June) at the age of 73.

The St Clement Constable was the longest serving States  Member having been elected to the Assembly more than  37 years ago.

Len was incredibly dedicated to serving the Island and in  particular to the parish of St Clement. He was initially elected  as St Clement Deputy in 1983, holding that position until  1996 when he then successfully stood in the Senatorial  elections. He became St Clement Constable in 2008 and was  Chief Minister John Le Fondré's choice to take on the role as  Minister for Home Affairs in 2018.

As well as his political passion, Len was known for his dry  sense of humour, kindness and sharp intellectual wit.

First Jersey ATTORNEY GENERAL, MARK TEMPLE QC

Renewed support for victims and witnesses of crime on the island was pledged on 18th January 2021 with the launch of Victims First Jersey and the Victim and Witness Charter.

The Attorney General alongside the then Home Affairs  Minister, Len Norman, announced the launch of the  initiatives created simply to best support those affected  by crime, and set out the standards of care that can be  expected by them.

The charter is a publicly available online document which  will be used by support workers to explain the process  ahead for those involved in crime as a victim or witness.  An animated video has also been created to explain the  process to younger islanders. The charter is supported by  

a number of agencies and organisations including: States

Further develop our community policing capability focusing on crime prevention and public engagement.

Expansion of Island's Community Policing Team

The States of Jersey Police announced the expansion of its Community Policing Team during January 2021. By strengthening the existing team, now each of the Island's twelve parishes will have its own dedicated officers to:

• Engage and build relationships with their community

• Find out what is happening in their parish and pro-actively   descend on any problems

• Prevent crime

• Target repeat offenders

• Be visible, accessible and well known in their parish

Following a Government grant approved in 2019, with support from the then Home Affairs Minister and the Jersey Police Authority, SOJP has been able to afford the recruitment of 30 new police officers, 16 of which have been allocated to the Community Policing Teams.

The officers will have time dedicated to spend specifically within their parishes to focus on building relationships with its residents, while working alongside key partners to address issues that matter most to those residents. As well as regular opportunities to speak to their dedicated officer while on duty, parishioners will also be able to contact them by email, telephone or face-to-face during regular police surgeries.

The team will consist of 16 officers, four assigned to work with the Island's schools and young people, and twelve to work within the parishes. A buddy' system has already been established so that a pool of select community officers can provide cover in other parishes, should the need arise.

Police Re-introduce a Drug Squad

2021 welcomes some new departmental changes and as well as a reinforced Community Policing Team, they have reintroduced its Drug Squad.

This is particularly welcome news as the force hits the one- year anniversary of the re-introduction of its Drugs Squad back in January. This dedicated team of eight officers have been focussing on those drug related investigations that have a  serious impact on our community.

They've also been working closely with Jersey Customs and Immigration Service (JCIS) and the Community Policing Team to disrupt organised crime groups targeting the island. 2021  saw them execute:

70  WARRANTS 100  ARRESTS £500,000 DRUGS

£100,000 CASH

 One of our key roles is to catch criminals and in doing so protect islanders. We aim to achieve better knowledge sharing

and suitable resourcing to disrupt and prevent the work of those responsible for drug crime within our community.

By increasing our team to work with law enforcement partners and prosecutors we can ensure we use the most effective means to disrupt criminal groups. My warning to those considering importing or dealing drugs we will find you and arrest you.

ROBINSMITH, CHIEFOF POLICE

SOJP has one detection dog, a springer spaniel called Jack. He is trained to find drugs, cash and guns and he will play a role within the new

Drugs Squad.

Although the team won't always exclusively deal with drug offences, and will also work on other tasking and deployment, should it be required.

Operation Shark launched in February 2020, focussing on illegal drugs and has so far resulted in excess of £50,000 of seizures. As well as continuing to focus on operations like this, the newly formed Drug Squad will also focus on other activities linked

to organised crime; modern day slavery; criminal and sexual exploitation; money laundering and serious acquisitive crime.

Illegal drugs can often be linked to organised crime within

our community. They are known to put a strain on our health services, our economy and can tear apart families. It is our job to protect Jersey from these threats and continue to target those involved in drug related crime in order to reduce the risks that illegal drugs pose to our community.

Another change this year has seen the Serious Crime Unit (SCU) revert back to its more familiar title - the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). This team's work focuses around crimes such as serious assaults of a violent or sexual nature and major thefts, amongst others. The name change, whilst symbolic, reflects our shared determination to getting back to basics' and delivering the very best policing service to island.

There are four main objectives:

• PURSUE Prosecuting and disrupting people  engaged in serious and organised criminality

• PREVENT Preventing people from engaging   in serious and organised crime

• PROTECT Increasing protection against   serious and organised crime

• PREPARE Reducing the impact of this  criminality where it takes place

Passing-Out Parade for new officers

Jersey's newest police recruits are preparing to return to Jersey as  fully fledged officers after completing their ten weeks of training  at the Norfolk Constabulary training site in Hethersett.

All ten officers were sworn in at the Royal Court in October before  they headed off to complete their training off-island alongside  officers from both Norfolk and Suffolk.

On Tuesday 21 December they took part in their official passing- out parade in Norfolk, with several members of the States of  Jersey Police present, including Chief Officer Robin Smith.

The Pass Out this year is a more scaled down, socially distanced  one due to the situation in the UK, but is an important part of the  role and recognises the challenging training that all the officers  have undertaken. It is also a proud moment for the officers and  their families and friends to share.

The ten week programme includes a range of classroom based  Whilst limited human resource data is available from the work, in addition to First Aid and Officer Safety Training.

Senior Appointments

Following alterations to the Force's command  structure, Alison Fossey previously Superintendent,  Head of Uniformed Services, has been appointed to  Detective Superintendent, Head of Crime and CID  and Detective Superintendent Stewart Gull QPM  has been appointed as the Acting Deputy Chief  Officer. These appointments commenced on Friday  1 October 2021, along with some other changes  

to internal departments.

Having joined SOJP in 2002, Alison has definitely earned her place on the senior leadership team and was the first female officer in Jersey to attain the

rank of Superintendent in January 2019. Alison's Portfolio now includes the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the Drug Squad, the Public Protection Unit (PPU), the Offender Management Unit (OMU), Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) Digital Forensic Unit (DFU) and the JMAPPA coordination.

Stewart has been Detective Superintendent with  

the Force since he joined in 2011, heading up Crime  Services. With over 40 years policing experience  and overseeing some significant investigations in  both the UK and Jersey, Stewart now holds the rank  of Acting Deputy Chief Officer.

Chief Officer Robin Smith said:

"Both Alison and Stewart are very experienced  and highly skilled police officers and I'm both delighted and honoured to have them on my Senior Management Team. They bring a lot to the table and are very knowledgeable in their fields. I'm very confident that they can deliver the strategic policies needed to deliver the standard of policing that islanders expect.".

Research, monitor and prepare  for emerging crimes and trends

In this section, lets get to know the key departments within the organisation and learn about what goes on at SOJP

Crime Services take on the more serious of investigations within the Force.

It is made up of a number of departments including the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the Drug Squad and the Public Protection Unit (PPU).

The work of these departments tends to remain behind the scenes but are incredibly important to keep Jersey a safe place.

The Criminal Investigation Department is involved in the investigation and detection of serious crimes and offences such as rape, murder, robbery, serious assault and other crimes that require complex investigations. They also take responsibility for cases of high risk missing persons.

The States of Jersey Police's Scientific Services is made up of our Crime

Scene Investigation Department and our Digital Forensic Unit. The department is equipped to use all the available scientific techniques in the fight against crime from forensic examination to the recovery of digital imagery.

Scientific investigation begins when a crime scene investigation is carried out by Crime Scene Investigators. The CSIs visit a location where a crime has taken place and examine the crime scene.

Looking for forensic evidence that could identify the offender or  prove a particular suspect's involvement in the crime.

This forensic material then has to be examined, catalogued and analysed.

The Digital Forensic Unit undertakes the forensic examination and retrieval of evidence or intelligence from computers, computer-related media and other digital devices.
