Our overall assessment of the force’s 2018/19 performance. 2. Our judgments and summaries of how effectively, efficiently and legitimately the force keeps people safe and reduces crime. 3. Our judgments and any areas for improvement and causes of concern for each component of our inspection. 4. Our detailed findings for each component. Our inspection approach In 2018/19, we adopted an integrated PEEL assessment (IPA) approach to our existing PEEL (police effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy) inspections. IPA combines into a single inspection the effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy areas of PEEL. These areas had previously been inspected separately each year. As well as our inspection findings, our assessment is informed by our analysis of: • force data and management statements; • risks to the public; • progress since previous inspections; • findings from our non-PEEL inspections; • how forces tackle serious and organised crime locally and regionally; and • our regular monitoring work.

  • Article the Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Social Media by UK Police Forces
    The Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Article Social Media by UK Police Forces Elena M. Egawhary Columbia University, USA [email protected] Abstract This paper explores the various surveillance practices involved in the use of social media for communication and investigation purposes by UK police forces. In doing so, it analyses internal policy documents and official guidance obtained through freedom of information (FOI) requests sent to 46 police forces in the United Kingdom. This analysis finds that UK police forces advise their staff to simultaneously engage in both surveillance and counter-surveillance strategies in their use of social media as a policing tool. Introduction The use of social media by UK police forces falls into two broad categories: communication (or engagement) and investigation (or operational use). UK police forces began registering corporate accounts on Twitter and Facebook for communication purposes for the first time in 2008. However, UK police forces’ use of the internet for investigative purposes dates back to April 2001 with the creation of the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU) to “investigate attacks on the Critical National Infrastructure; major internet based offences of paedophilia, fraud or extortion; information from seized electronic media and gather intelligence on cybercrime and cybercriminals” (Corbitt 2001: 29). Prior to 2001, most of the responsibility for using social networking sites to investigate crime fell to a small number of digital evidence recovery officers who were “swamped and learning on the job” (Thomas 2005) resulting in a reportedly “huge workload” (Goodwin 2005). This suggests that the use of social media in UK policing began in an unstructured way and “on the basis of initiatives by individual officers and subsequently with varying degrees of official support” (Crump 2011: 1).

  • Sentrysis by Durham Constabulary
    SentrySIS by Durham Constabulary T/Insp 2570 Adam Norris - [email protected] D/Supt 203 Kevin Weir - [email protected] Durham Constabulary, Police HQ, Aykley Heads, Durham, United Kingdom, DH1 5TT Tel: 101 ext 754989 SUMMARY (396 words) Retired Police Chief Mike Barton once said of technology that “it is the greatest enabler” – this is certainly true in 21st Century Policing. After nearly a decade of austerity and a general increase in demand on policing service, Policing UK PLC must adapt to work smarter not harder in order to manage demand to ensure that it remains a viable public service moving forward. Durham Constabulary has capitalised on the improvement in connectivity and digital technology to modernise our working practices and to increase the speed of investigations to achieve this aim. Durham Constabulary utilises a centralised local authority CCTV centre, this posed logistical problems for officers progressing investigations, as at it’s extreme, officers would either have to drive up to 20 miles to collect a CCTV disc and complete the bureaucratic data protection form or wait up to 2 weeks for the disc to arrive at their police station. Further to this, victim and witness statements were taken in paper format face to face as a matter of course – this again provided logistical problems in obtaining evidence from victims and witnesses in a global world where long distance travel is as easy as catching a bus and people move around with far greater ease. Analysis of these officer outputs showed that fuel was being burned unnecessarily, travelling time was essentially “dead time” in which officers couldn’t do anything productive and their investigations were hindered by the delay in obtaining key evidence because of outdated practices.

  • Police Funding 2019/20
    Police Funding 2019/20 Consultation document December 2018 – January 2019 Durham Constabulary is an outstanding police force. I know that because HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services have rated the force as the most effective and efficient force in the country for three years in a row – and because of the great feedback I get from local people. I am committed to ensuring that the Constabulary invests in people, innovation and IT to find further efficiencies so that people who live, work and visit the area are protected, and the Force remains ‘outstanding’. Since 2010 Government funding for policing in Durham and Darlington has been cut in real terms by 32%. About 75% of the money spent by the force comes from a Government grant, and the rest of it is paid by Council tax payers through the policing precept. I am determined to protect neighbourhood policing, so that there is an effective police presence in your area. However, the long-term reduction in Government funding, in real terms, means that front-line policing will be at risk unless I increase the policing precept. “It’s my job to make sure that the You may have seen in the press that Government has increased its direct grant allocation to Police forces, for one year only. However, most of that increase will have to pay for an very best use is made of your money, increase in the pension deficit for policing – an issue which affects every force in the so that policing in County Durham country, following a Government re-calculation of size of the deficit.

Press Articles Map illustrating the Tees Valley Region REPEAT VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC BURGLARY The government has put in place targets to reduce domestic burglary by 25% over the six year period April 1999 to March 2005. Central to addressing 'repeat' incidents should be a strategy to avoid becoming a repeat. Research by Safe in Tees Valley in 200112002 revealed the approach to domestic burglary repeats across the Cleveland Police area and the Darlington Division of Durham Constabulary was inconsistent and ineffective. This resulted in a poor service to victims and an inaccurate recording of crime details. Responses were often hampered by a lack of basic, timely information and no resources to address the problem. The project outline developed the initial work and aimed to: Develop a way forward to prevent a first time burglary victim becoming a repeat victim. Reduce the number of domestic burglaries through highlighting circumstances of repeats and the predictive characteristics. Provide timely and effective intervention with repeats thereby improving service to victims.

  • Vital Issues 2017
    Tees Valley’s Vital Issues 2017 Safety Serving Tyne & Wear and Northumberland communityfoundation.org.uk Tees Valley’s Vital Issues Vital Issues 2017 Safety 1.1 Overview The theme of safety covers crime and anti-social behaviour, and includes both the actual levels of these, and how they are perceived by local communities. In many cases the actual levels of crime can be higher than the official statistics suggest, simply because much of it is not reported. Similarly, the perception of crime levels can be higher or lower than the recorded level depending on the experiences of individuals and communities, and the extent to which they are influenced by newspapers and other media. 1.2 Recorded crime More crimes were recorded in the Tees Valley than the NE average during 2015-16. The overall rate was particularly high in Middlesbrough, with 113 crimes per 1,000 population, which is 66% higher than the regional mean (68 crimes per 1,000 population). In fact, Middlesbrough recorded the highest levels of almost every category of crime in the Tees Valley, the only exceptions being homicide, burglary and vehicle offences.
