Clackmannanshire Local Policing Plan THIS PAPER RELATES TO ITEM 3 CLACKMANNANSHIRE COUNCIL ON THE AGENDA Report to Resources and Audit Sub-Committee Date of Meeting: 12 June 2013 Subject: Clackmannanshire Local Policing Plan Report by: Chief Superintendent David Flynn 1.0 Purpose 1.1. The Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 establishes a single national Police Service and gives local authorities clear powers in relation to the provision of policing in their area. See appendix 2. 1.2. The purpose of this report is to introduce to the sub-committee the interim Local Policing Plan for Clackmannanshire for 2013/14. 1.3. The interim Clackmannanshire Local Policing Plan for 2013 – 2014 was approved at the meeting of full Council on 14 March 2013 and this paper brings the Plan to the Resources and Audit Sub Committee for noting and consideration of future issues to be explored. See appendix 1. 2.0 Recommendations The Sub Committee agrees: 2.1. to note the interim Clackmannanshire Local Policing Plan for 2013-14 approved at the meeting of full Council on 14 March 2013; 2.2. to consider and make comment on future Clackmannanshire Local Policing plans, engage with the Local Commander and local communities in the ongoing development of Ward Policing Plans, and provide updates as required on the policing function in Clackmannanshire to the Resources and Audit Committee. 3.0 Considerations 3.1. The Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 brings together the eight former police forces that have existed since 1975, and the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency into a single Police Service of Scotland (PSoS) from 1 April 2013. 3.2. Whilst the legal title of the new organization is the Police Service of Scotland, it will be known as Police Scotland and will have 14 local divisions, headed by 15 a Chief Superintendent. The Clackmannanshire Council area falls within the Forth Valley Division that covers the former Central Scotland Police area. 3.3. This is the first plan under the new policing arrangements for Scotland and provides an interim year one plan for 2013-14. It sets out the local policing priorities and objectives for Clackmannanshire for 2013-2014 and is a statutory requirement of the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012. Five Ward Plans that reflect community level priorities will support the local authority Plan. 3.4. As Police Scotland develops and evolves, this interim plan will form the basis of a flexible three-year plan, setting out local priorities in consultation with partners and local communities. 3.5. The Local Policing Plan for Clackmannanshire is a critical part of the delivery process for the new service, and aims to reflect a commitment to local policing within the national planning framework and the local Single Outcome Agreement. 3.6. The provisions in the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 replace local authorities’ role as police authorities: joint boards and unitary authorities that maintain them have been abolished. The Act has created a direct and formal relationship between Police Scotland and each local authority. It gives local authorities clear powers in relation to the provision of policing in their area; it seeks to make new arrangements to strengthen local engagement and partnership working, and to engage many more local authority councilors in the running of the police service in their area. A short guide to the local authority provisions in the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 is provided as Appendix 1 to this paper. 3.7. Local Authorities have the flexibility to implement their arrangements for scrutiny of local policing, including consideration and approval of the local police plan. 3.8. The method adopted by Clackmannanshire Council is through consideration and approval of the local plan by the Resources and Audit Committee and scrutiny of local policing through the Resources and Audit Sub Committee. 3.9. Priorities and Objectives set out in the plan are: • Antisocial Behaviour, Disorder and Violence • Serious Crime • Tackling Domestic Abuse • Road Policing and Road Crime • Protecting the Public • Community Confidence and Engagement 3.10. These priorities were identified from consultation with local people and from analysis of national and local sources. They reflect the national policing 16 priorities, and there are performance indicators which are intended to inform reporting against both local and national categories. 3.11. Local Authorities have the right to: be involved in the setting of policing priorities and objectives for their area; monitor performance and provide feedback to the local commander; and to bring forward proposals for how performance could be improved and how particular issues are addressed by the Police, the Council and other partners. 3.12. Following approval of Clackmannanshire’s Single Outcome Agreement, future local policing plans will be able to fully reflect how they contribute to agreed joint outcomes. For this interim plan, emerging local outcomes have been taken into consideration. 3.13. As the local authority scrutiny role develops, there may be a number of issues which need to be to be explored further. These might include: • Developing a relationship with the Scottish Police Authority and how local issues might be raised at a national level; • Providing Elected Members with information on key resources; • Ward Plans developing further as an integral part of the Local Police Plan and planning process; • Developing joint engagement across the Community Planning Partnership with local communities. 4.0 Sustainability Implications 4.1.

Introduction This plan sets out the local policing priorities and objectives for Clackmannanshire for 2013-2014 and is a statutory requirement of the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012. It is produced as part of a planning process which takes account of the Scottish Governments overarching vision for public services, the Strategic Police Priorities set by Scottish Ministers, the Scottish Police Authorities Strategic Police Plan and the Chief Constable of Scotland’s Annual Police Plan. The local police plan for Clackmannanshire represents a critical part of the delivery process for Police Scotland, demonstrating our commitment to local policing within the national framework and enabling us to respond effectively to the concerns of local communities as well as meet and tackle national demands. This local authority plan will be supported by 7 Multi-member Ward Plans which reflect community level priorities. This plan is the first plan under the new Police reform arrangements and provides an interim year one plan for 2013-2014. As Police Scotland develops and evolves, this interim plan will form the basis of a flexible three year plan setting out local priorities in consultation with partners and local communities. Clackmannanshire is Scotland's smallest mainland local authority by population with 50,770 people living in the area. Clackmannanshire, however, has very different communities - both rural and urban - which require different policing approaches and which have different priorities. Clackmannanshire also has areas which are considered affluent and others which are considered amongst Scotland's most deprived areas. 2. Foreword by: Chief Constable, Police Scotland - Chief Constable Stephen House This plan is the first under the new policing arrangements for Scotland. Local Policing will be the focus of the Police Service of Scotland and will deliver real improvements to the way services are delivered to local communities.

The first phase was an analysis of existing recruitment and selection statistics from the eight Scottish police forces. Phase Two was a study of two police forces using a case study methodology: Identified issues were then circulated using the Delphi approach to all eight forces. There was a consensus that both society and the police are changing, and that disparate functional maps of a police officer's job have been developed. It was generally recognized that recruitment and selection are important, but time-consuming, aspects of police activity. Wide variations were found in practices across the eight forces, including the use of differential pass marks for the SET. Independent assessors have identified anomalies in the test indicating that it is both ambiguous and outdated in part, with differences in the readability of different versions that compromises comparability.

The Commission has four main responsibilities: • securing the external audit, including the audit of Best Value and Community Planning • following up issues of concern identified through the audit, to ensure satisfactory resolutions • carrying out national performance studies to improve economy, efficiency and effectiveness in local government • issuing an annual direction to local authorities which sets out the range of performance information they are required to publish.

Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary for Scotland HMICS operates independently of police forces, police authorities and the Scottish Government and exists to monitor and improve the police service in Scotland. HMICS does this on behalf of the Scottish public by: • monitoring, through self-assessment and inspection, how effectively the police service in Scotland is fulfilling its purpose and managing risk • supporting improvement by identifying good practice, making recommendations and sharing our findings in order to achieve better outcomes for Scotland’s communities • providing advice to Scottish ministers, police authority and joint board members and police forces and services. Even though HMICS is independent of the Scottish Government, ministers can call upon the Inspectorate to undertake particular pieces of work.
