WQ.117/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOME AFFAIRS BY DEPUTY K.G. PAMPLIN OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 26th FEBRUARY 2019
Question
Will the Minister confirm that an analysis of local high-demand families' commissioned by the States of Jersey Police found that the cost of policing Jersey's top five' such families over a three-year period had been approximately £775,000 and, if so, will he provide a full breakdown, and explanation, of this figure?
Answer
This figure relates to some analysis conducted by the States of Jersey Police (SoJP) in 2014, covering a 3 year period in respect of 5 assessed high demand families.
The cost was calculated based on officer time whilst responding to, and interacting with, each family unit ranging from:
- Responding to reported incidents;
- Custody and criminal justice;
- Crime investigation;
- Safeguarding & public protection;
- Responding to intelligence reports.
The range of cost per family unit was £100,000 to £265,000.
With an increased focus on One Government', it is anticipated that closer and more integrated working across all Government Departments, including with other key partners and stakeholders, will ensure that SoJP provide the most efficient & effective service to all communities and families.
