  10. Our Vision To ensure the best and most effective policing for Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, meeting the needs of our diverse communities.

  11. Our Values • We will • use our independence to ensure that an efficient and effective police service is delivered. • work in partnership to prevent crime and disorder. • make the best use of our resources and seek continuous improvement. • be open, honest, reliable, accountable to the public and do all we can to preserve public confidence. • value difference whilst striving to understand and to learn from each other.

  12. Consultation We undertook a variety of steps to seek people’s views about policing last year. We used the consultation responses to set a number of Force level “local objectives” for Leicestershire Constabulary for 2010/11. Here is how the Constabulary is performing against those objectives…

  13. Improve the satisfaction in service given to people who report Anti-Social Behaviour so that 80% of those people are satisfied in the service we give them. 79.9% (July 2010) Make sure that beat officers and neighbourhood PCSO’s are on their beat as much as possible and that they are not taken away for other duties. If they have to be away from their beat this time should be no more than 5% of their total working time. Performance so far 2.8% (July 2010) Make sure that police officers use Mobile Data Terminals (Mobile Computers) to update crime reports etc, whilst out and about so that they spend less time in police stations and more time in the community. 10% of all crime reports should be completed using the Mobile computers. Performance so far 8.2% (July 2010) Force level “Local Objectives” 2010/11

  14. Develop a system to monitor and report the level of satisfaction in the service we give to victims of Domestic Violence and / or Serious Sexual Offences (Rape), feedback any changes. No Update so far. Monitor what people think of the way we ask for their views. We have to make sure that 60% of people think that we along with the local council are asking people their views on Anti-Social Behaviour and crime that matters to people. Performance so far 51.7% (July 2010) Support businesses by better prevention and resolution of business related crimes. We want to reduce burglaries of businesses where the value of goods stolen in more than £1000 by 5% and consult businesses more about the use of reparation when resolving business crimes. Performance so far -28% (Aug 2010) Force level “Local Objectives” 2010/11
