  • May I ask a question re the above, having a son who been an offender.
    What chance do these people have of rehabilitation when almost every time he goes about his business he is stopped and questioned by the police, stopped in his car, for no reason, visits to his house, he accepts his past but it’s difficult to move forward when he faces constant interest from police, on all occasions nothing goes further but he is told “what do you expect with your past”
    Thank you, Andy

  • Meeting Paper 5: Performance Report – Police
    1. Slide 3: There has been a dip in Mental Health related incidents this month. This is counterintuitive to the trends experienced in lockdowns or the wider covid period. Therefore there must be issues with either the reporting of mental health related incidents or the recording of mental health related incidents. Which is it and what is being done to address this?

2. Slide 12: Covid 19 related lockdowns and working from home is leading to a crisis in ASB increases. This could be because of families living and working in overcrowded conditions, lack of pubs leading to drinking at home and other issues. How accurate are the recording of ASB and are any of these incidents actually incidents far worse, such as domestic violence

Meeting Paper 6 and 7: Control and Response Presentation and Performance Report- Fire
1. In both the fire plan of the commissioner and in these presentations there are no targets. Why are there no targets being set to judge performance against?
