Force Summary – Northumbria Police Research Department PFEW Pay and Morale survey 2015 Force Summary – Northumbria Police INTRODUCTION This note provides a summary of responses to the PFEW Pay and Morale Survey received from officers from Northumbria Police in 2015. Where appropriate, details of average responses for the police service as a whole are also presented, as well as a ranking of Northumbria Police compared to other forces. Where rankings are provided, a ranking of 1 represents the force with the highest percentage of officers expressing a particular attitude or intention, and a ranking of 43 represents the force with the lowest percentage of officers expressing a particular attitude or intention 1. Please be aware that the actual differences between individual rank positions may be quite small and, if used, should be interpreted cautiously. Graphical summaries are also presented which compare the proportion of respondents expressing a particular attitude or intention in each force to the average for the service as a whole. These graphical summaries indicate either that 1) a force has the same proportion of respondents expressing a particular attitude as the national average or lower; 2) that the force has a higher proportion of respondents expressing a particular attitude than the national average; or 3) that the proportion of respondents expressing a particular attitude in a force is 10% or more higher than the national average. RESPONSE RATE AND RESPONDENTS 1071 responses were received from Northumbria Police, representing a response rate of around 31% (based on March 2015 Home Office figures of officer headcount). The national response rate for the 2015 survey was 28%. Last year’s response rate for Northumbria Police was 22%. Please bear this in mind when making comparisons with last year’s findings. Overall 4.8% of respondents to the survey declined to state which force they belonged to. The responses from these officers have been included within the national data but are excluded from force-level analysis. 77.9% of responses from Northumbria Police were received from male officers and 22.1% of responses were from female officers. 76.4% of respondents were Constables, 18.3% were Sergeants and 5.4% were Inspectors or Chief Inspectors. 1 Rankings have been determined at two decimal places. MORALE 79.9% of officers from Northumbria Police told us that their morale is currently low. This can be compared to the Service as a whole, where 70.2% of officers said that their own morale is low. The proportion of officers reporting low personal morale ranges from 84.5% at the top ranking force to 52.5% at the bottom ranking force. In terms of the proportion of officers with low morale, Northumbria Police ranks 4 out of 43, meaning that, compared to Northumbria Police, there are 39 forces with a smaller proportion of officers reporting low morale. 99.0% of officers from Northumbria Police felt that morale within the force is currently low. The average for the service as a whole is 94.6%. The proportion of officers reporting low force morale ranges from 99.5% at the top ranking force to 82.0% at the bottom ranking force.

  • 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).

    Policing Northumbria 2009 – 2011 Joint Policing Plan of Contents Page Foreword 3 Introduction 4 Our Vision and Values 7 Our Objectives, how we will achieve them and 8 measures of progress Managing our Finances and Performance 32 How to Contact Us 40 Page 2 of 43 Foreword We are proud to say that, over the last three years, our success in reducing crime in Northumbria has continued. An 18% reduction in crime and a 30% reduction in anti­social behaviour demonstrate a policing service that is delivering our Policing Pledge and responding to your needs and those of the most vulnerable in our communities. We could not have achieved this alone. Without joint working with our partners, including local authorities, criminal justice agencies, fire and rescue and probation services, we would have been unable to deliver many of these improvements. We are not complacent. Value for money is important to everyone and we want you to feel that we use our resources in the most effective and efficient way. We believe this is demonstrated by Northumbria Police Authority setting one of the lowest council tax charges for local policing in the country and Northumbria Police remaining a top performing policing service. This is achieved by good organisation and leadership. Over the next three years, we will ensure that officers and staff have the, right skills, are in the right place and deliver the right service to local communities. We will preserve frontline policing services despite financial pressures and you will not see a reduction in officers on the beat or responding to incidents.
