Local Policing Summary 2006

The aim of Hampshire Police Authority and Hampshire Constabulary is to make Hampshire and the Isle of Wight safer places to live, work and visit.

"By operating effectively with partnership organisations, listening to what the public think and working closely with Hampshire Constabulary, we aim to make sure the needs of the public are reflected in how the police force serves these two counties."

Mike Attenborough-Cox, Chairman, Hampshire Police Authority.

"This summary highlights how Hampshire Constabulary is performing and provides policing information for 2006/07. With you and our partners, we have identified our prioirites, including the continued implementation of neighbourhood policing, to make sure we deliver a service where it matters most to local communities."

Paul Kernaghan QPM CBE, Chief Constable, Hampshire Constabulary.

Hampshire Constabulary is responsible and accountable to the communities it serves.

Tackling your priorities

Reduce crime and anti-social behaviour

Police Officers are spending more time than before on frontline duty, and continuing to combat distruptive behaviour with Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABCs) and Anti Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs).

Order type	Jan 05	Now
ABCs issued	127	181
ASBOs issued	201	245

Improve road safety

The number of people seriously injured on the roads has decreased by 17.4% since last year. The number of people killed on the roads has slightly increased by 2.5%.

Road Casualties	2004	2005
Seriously injured	925	764
Fatalities	79	81

Detect a higher proportion of crime

The national standard for crime recording has changed. This shows a rise in overall crime figures, however the British Crime Survey shows that Hampshire and the Isle of Wight among one of the safest places to live in England and Wales.

Combat serious and organised crime

An operation to tackle criminals who benefit from the proceeds of crime, and a unit investigating money laundering were established. A murder prevention programme was implemented - early indications show the number of these crimes has reduced significantly.

By 2007 we aim to reduce overall crime by 15%.

To find out which policing issues most matter to you we work with local partner organisations and keep abreast of national developments. This process has pinpointed a number of areas for the police to work on in the coming year;

• Class A drugs
• Vehicle crime, burglary and
• personal robbery
• Road casualties
• Violent crime
• Serious and organised crime

Neighbourhood policing aims to make sure that the right people are in the right place, at the right time and in the right numbers. This is what will make communities safe and make people feel secure in the places they live and work.

The next two years will see a further 480 Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) recruited to join the 59 already working in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Police forces with a similar number of residents and mix of rural and urban areas are grouped together as Most Similar Forces (MSF).

Your police station

Hampshire and the Isle of Wight are divided into six Operational Command Units (OCUs), and there is a senior management team for each district in each of these units. The districts are divided into sectors with local police stations coming under these sectors.

Working with the OCUs are two Specialist Operations command units:  the Chief Superintendent of Operations OCU which works in partnership with the six territorial OCUs in achieving Force objectives is Chief Superintendent Bob Rose, and the Chief Superintendent of Crime OCU which ensures a full range of protective services are in place to protect our communities from harm associated with terrorism, serious and organised crime and the impact of major crime is Detective Chief Superintendent Ray Webb.
