The role of the PCC is to be the voice of the people and hold the police to account. Elections will be taking place in England and Wales. In London, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire, there will be elections at the same time for Mayors who exercise PCC functions. PCCs are responsible for the totality of policing in their force area and aim to cut crime and deliver an effective and efficient police service. 39 PCCs will be elected across England and Wales, of which 4 are also responsible for overseeing the fire and rescue authority for their area and are called Police, Fire and Crime Commissioners (PFCC) – these PFCCs are found in Essex, Staffordshire, North Yorkshire and Northamptonshire). There will also be 3 Mayors with PCC functions elected in London, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire. PCCs are elected by you and aim to cut crime and hold the force to account on behalf of the public. PCCs bring a public voice to policing, and they do this by: • engaging with the public and victims of crime to help set the policing priorities for the area and consulting on their Police and Crime plans; • ensuring the police force budget is spent where it matters most; and • appointing the Chief Constable, holding them to account for delivery of their objectives and if necessary, dismissing them.

    Tackling Vehicle Crime in Portsmouth, England Operation Cobra

    TACKLING VEHICLE CRIME IN PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND OPERATION COBRA HAMPSHIRE CONSTABULARY, PORTSMOUTH BASIC COMMAND UNIT, 2004 THE PROBLEM: From April 2002 to March 2003, vehicle crime in Portsmouth, England increased 16 percent. Strategies in place, much of it focused on offender detection and generic crime prevention, were not working. A Crime Reduction Officer/Analyst reviewed 9 months of data (in the past only several weeks were reviewed at a time to determine patterns) uncovering more robust patterns: 1989 to 1998 vehicles were the most at risk, items stolen did not have property markings so resale was easy, vehicle crime concentrated in many repeat locations, in fact 49 percent of vehicle crimes occurred in just 167 of Portsmouth’s 1,600 streets. ANALYSIS: The Crime Reduction Officer/Analyst identified eight underlying conditions contributing to the high level of vehicle crimes. These conditions if turned around could significantly reduce vehicle crime in Portsmouth. RESPONSE: Engaging a wide variety of partners, including the media, the group developed Operation Cobra. It relied on a graded or tiered approach to reducing auto theft; different strategies were applied depending upon the level of vehicle crime on a street. Streets with 5 to 7 vehicle crimes used a victim-focused strategy (such as customized warnings and property marking). Those with 8 to 10 vehicle crimes focused on victims but incorporated environmental and situational changes to the location. Streets with 11 or more vehicle crimes focused on victim and location but also
  • Article the Surveillance Dimensions of the Use of Social Media by UK Police Forces

    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).

The key issue was whether the use of a syringe driver to deliver Diamorphine to Mrs. Richards was carded out in such a way as to cause her unlawful death. A critical meeting took place on 19t" June, 2001 between Detective Superintendent John James, Detective Chief Inspector Paul Clarke, the Crown Prosecution Case Worker, Mr. Paul C|ose, Treasury Counsel, and Professor/ivesley. It would appear that during that meeting Treasury Counsel came to the view that Professor Livesley’s report on the medical aspects of this case and his assertions that Mrs. Richards had been unlawfully killed, were flawed in respect of his analysis of the law.

  • Hmic Report: Strategic Policing Requirement

    Hmic Report: Strategic Policing Requirement

    HMIC REPORT: STRATEGIC POLICING REQUIREMENT PCC Anthony Stansfeld’s interim comment on HMIC’s Strategic Policing Requirement (SPR) inspection: “This inspection reports on the arrangements that all police forces should have in place to meet the SPR. Chief Constables must have regard to this and it is the role of PCCs to hold them account for doing so. The specific national threats set down in the SPR are: terrorism, civil emergencies, organised crime, public order threats and large-scale cyber incidents. The SPR also outlines the national required policing response to counter these threats by ensuring forces have the capacity, capability and collaborative arrangements in place to deliver against these threats. In their national report, HMIC provides assurance that chief constables are having regard to the SPR, but identifies that much more needs to be done by forces to secure the levels of preparedness that are necessary for them to collectively respond to all of the national threats. Thames Valley Police were not one of the 18 Forces directly inspected as part of the inspection process, although the Force is cited in various sections of the report: TVP is one of 14 forces that were found to have at least twice the number of trained Public Support Units (PSU) assessed as necessary to meet their local threat. However, the report is content with TVP’s numbers because ‘their national requirement for PSUs is greater than their local threat and they have resourced to their national requirement’. A comparison of Forces that were deemed either Mutual Aid ‘recipients or providers’ for 2011/12 and 2012/13 were undertaken.
