An account of events of importance to the Royal Gibraltar Police (RGP) and statistics prepared by the RGP covering the year in review are set out in the attachments to this report. This is the second annual report prepared by the GPA since it was established in February 2007. This system of producing both the Policing Plan and the Annual Report is now firmly established. This independent direction, monitoring and assessment of the RGP carried out by the GPA aims to secure an efficient and effective police service for Gibraltar within the financial resources available to it and on a value for money basis, as defined in the Police Act. It further aims to establish high standards of integrity, probity and independence of policing as prescribed in the Police Act and enshrined in the Gibraltar Constitution. The GPA has assessed that during the year under review the RGP has performed very well in the execution of its varied role and responsibilities to our community. Worthy of special mention is their performance during the long frontier queues during July 2008 and in the aftermath of the severe storm in October 2008.
