Decisions

The Commissioner has been asked to approve the request to adopt the Joint Engagement Strategy with the Force. The Commissioner has a statutory responsibility to obtain the views of the community as set out in the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011.

The Police and Crime Commissioner commends the work of the FOI team and congratulate them on their performance of responding to all requests within the statutory timescales.

Through the project, victims of domestic abuse will be more able to protect themselves from future incidents whilst reducing the risk of perpetrator offending. This should lead to a reduction in domestic abuse and anti-social behaviour incidents within the project locations.

The intention of the project is to improve links, trust and confidence in the police and Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner amongst the established and emerging communities, with specific focus on those perceived as the hardest to reach.

There is a statutory requirement for Police and Crime Commissioners to monitor complaints against officers and staff of the force within the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011. It is requested that the Chief Constable gives consideration to the recommendations detailed within this decision log.
