That a minutes silence would be observed for the Grenfell Tower victims at midday. The Commissioner advised that due to a growing workload he had decided to appoint a Deputy Commissioner. Recruitment would be carried out in due course with the PCP holding a Hearing to ratify the appointment of the successful candidate. 39 Public Participation Mr Paul Sunners raised concerns re the proposed appointment of a Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner. That Citizens in Policing had met for their first meeting with very good feedback. 40 Wiltshire Police Special Burglary Operation Inspector Andy Fee and Detective Sergeant Anthony King gave a presentation that outlined Wiltshire Police’s Special Burglary Operation. Points made included: That Wiltshire Police were actively targeting criminals taking part in this type of offence. Typically targeted were properties that had high carat gold and jewellery inside. Asian households were at least five times more likely than white European households of being the victim of a domestic burglary where gold was taken. These communities were associated with high value gold within family wealth, ceremonial use and display and were likely to keep significant quantities of high value gold in their homes. Page 6 Engagement work had been undertaken with the Asian community using prevention information and PCSOs were tasked to engage with the Asian community to distribute leaflets and provide reassurance. Work was undertaken with the Swindon Hindu Temples to advise on the safe storage of high value items on their site. Intelligence identifies suspects were very organised and prepared to travel large distances and across Force boundaries. They were also known to commit distraction burglaries. Previous research and intelligence would also show Distraction Burglary and ‘Rogue Trading’ crime as linked and had long been considered as how suspects can identify their target addresses. The Chairman thanked Inspector Andy Fee and Detective Sergeant Anthony King for their informative presentation. 41 PCP Annual Report It was agreed to defer this agenda item until the September meeting. The Chairman requested that the OPCC provided PCP members with draft copies of the report for their comments. 42 Quarterly data (Q4)- Risk / Performance / Finance / Complaints The Commissioner outlined a report setting out his quarterly performance data – Quarter Four 2017-18 (1 January to 31 March 2018) contained in the agenda pack. Points made included: There were 9,918 crimes recorded during quarter four and 43,744 crimes were recorded in Wiltshire in the 12 months to March 2018. This represents an increase of 2,062 crimes (five per cent) compared to the previous 12 months. The recorded crime rate per 1,000 population for Wiltshire in the year to March 2018 was 64.3 crimes. This was below the most similar group (MSG) average of 69.6 crimes per 1000 population. The Force continued to prioritise residential burglary and the ability to provide the victim with a positive outcome. The head of crime for Wiltshire, Superintendent Sarah Robbins had further developed a detailed improvement plan and updates with regards to progress against this plan had been presented to the Commissioners Monitoring Board (CMB).
