Partnership (including Funding Update)
D Moore gave a brief update
along with a presentation and handouts on crime and ASB period
1/04/2015-27/03/2016 and highlighted the following
points;
Violent crimes such as assault
and domestic violence had increased this were due to the way in
which crime is now recorded.
ASB comes under an incident and
not a crime.
Overall we are sitting in the
middle with figures which is reasonable.
There has been a huge change in
Dacorum over the years and this is only noticeable when you
actually compare figures to where we were years ago.
Explanation of where funding
monies were being spent and what each of the projects do. Talk to
Billy McGill to find out more information on courses for young
people.
Comparison of where we sat with
crime compared to 9 other districts.
As the county positions
indicate, Dacorum sits roughly in the middle in terms of
performance.
The aim of the CSP is clearly
to improve our performance in our key priority areas; this year has
illustrated how annual performance in a category (e.g. burglary)
can be affected by the Borough being targeted by a criminal network
– this has resulted in Dacorum moving from 4th in
the county last year in performance in Burglary to 6th
position.
However, Dacorum remains a very
safe place to live and work.
