  1. Police and Crime Plan 2021-2024 Monthly Performance Update February 2023 National and MSG positions are to 31 December 2022 (Essex Police data are to 28 February 2023). Version 1.8 Produced March 2023 Performance Analysis Unit, Research & Analysis Department, Essex Police Sensitivity: Official

  2. Executive Summary The Police and Crime Plan 2021-2024 was introduced in April 2021,with new measures that reflect the Essex Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner s (PFCC) strategic commitment to targeted prevention and early intervention. On 13 December 2022, the Chief Constable of Essex Police and the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Essex agreed that more measures should be included so a more holistic and rounded view of the Force s performance against the Police and Crime Plan could be provided. Three of the twelve PFCC Priorities have been given a recommended grade of Good : 2 (Reducing drug driven violence), 3 (Protecting vulnerable people and breaking the cycle of domestic abuse) and 7 (Dog Theft). Seven have been given a recommended grade of Adequate and twohave been given a recommended grade of Requires Improvement : 5 (Improving support for victims of crime) and 9 (Improving safety on our roads). There have been no changes in grading compared to last month s report. Confidence (from the independent survey commissioned by Essex Police) was at 75.0% for the 12 months to December 2022. Confidence decreased by 5.1 percentage points compared to the 12 months to December 2021 (80.1%), but increased by 10.3 percentage points compared to the 12 months to December 2019 (64.7%). The 12 months to December 2019 was the last full year (and last full financial quarter) in which society, crime and policing was not affected by the pandemic. Although confidence in the local police has deteriorated significantly compared to year ending December 2021, Forces contacted by Essex Police reported patterns similar to Essex Police: confidence was high during COVID, but has been in general decline ever since (the last two quarters especially have seen significant decreases). There was a increase in All Crime (0.5%), Rural Crime (0.5%) and Business Crime (14.6%) for the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022. However, the rate at which All Crimes have increased has slowed compared to last month s report. When compared to the 12 months to December 2019, All Crime decreased by 2.5%;this equates to 4,163 fewer offences. For the three months to February 2023, All Crime fell by 3.6% whilst the solved rate increased by 1.5 percentage points compared to the three months to February 2022. In the 12 months to February 2023 all Theft offence rose by 14% (5,638 more), compared to the 12 months to February 2022. This has primarily been driven by increases in shoplifting (1,325 more), theft of a vehicle (1,016 more) and theft from a vehicle (801 more). Essex experienced a 4.5% decrease (2,118 fewer) in the number of offences with a repeat victim for the 12 months to February 2023 (45,220 offences) compared to the 12 months to February 2022 (47,338 offences). Except for August 2022, the year on year increase in repeat victimisation has been reducing each month since March 2022.1 However, the number of individual repeat victims increased by 0.3% (60 more) for the 12 months to February 2023 (22,310 individual victims) compared to the 12 months to February 2022 (22,250 individual victims). It is of note that any over-recording of Stalking and Harassment offences (discussed on the next slide) will impact both the number of repeat victims and the number of offences with a repeat victim. 2

  3. Executive Summary - continued Essex Police prides itself on having excellent Crime Data Accuracy (CDA). In its most recent inspection by HMICFRS, Essex Police was graded as Outstanding in relation to its CDA. Maintaining excellent CDA, however, requires the Force to neither under-record nor over-record offences. To this end, Essex Police is auditing and where appropriate cancelling Stalking & Harassment (S&H) offences to ensure additional crimes have not been unnecessarily recorded. Essex Police have also been educating those working within the Resolution Centre to ensure they fully research the individuals involved in these types of offences before they create new crimes; where previous records exist, these additional incidents are instead referred to the relevant officer(s) in order that they can be investigated together. This activity has therefore not only resulted in a decrease in offences since the start of the review (August 2022) but has enabled the Force to better coordinate these types of investigations. As of 31 January 2023, 904 records have been reviewed as potential duplicate crimes and 320 sent for cancellation; of these, 233 records (72.8%) have now been cancelled. It is of note that Stalking and Harassment offences comprise the largest volume of Violence Against Women & Girls offences (VAWG) and accounts for 19.6% of all Domestic Abuse investigations. There were, for example, 2,595 fewer Stalking and Harassment crimes committed against females in the 12 months to February 2023 (15,285 crimes) compared to the 12 months to February 2022 (17,880 crimes). Violence Against the Person (VAP) offences committed against females decreased by 5.1% (2,007 fewer) in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022. There was also a 5.8% decrease (286 fewer) in the number of sexual offences committed against females in these time periods. However, Essex Police solved ten fewer (-3.4%) sexual offences committed against females in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022. When comparing High Harm2 offences to its Most Similar Group (MSG) by crimes per 1,000 population, Essex recorded the third highest number of offences (out of eight police forces) for Other Sexual Offences, fifth for Violence with Injury, sixth for Burglary Residential, and eighth for Rape and Robbery of Personal Property. There was a 6.2% increase (52 more) in the number of those Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) in Essex for the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022. Since August, the number of incidents reported each month (except in October and January) has been slightly below those experienced in the 12 months to February 2022. It is of note that road traffic safety is the responsibility of the Safer Essex Roads Partnership (SERP) which includes Essex Police, Essex County Fire & Rescue Service, Essex County Council, Southend on Sea Borough Council, Thurrock Council, National Highways, East of England Ambulance Service Trust, Essex and Herts Air Ambulance Service Trust, and The Safer Roads Foundation (Registered Charity). Essex Police conducted 37 more OCG disruptions in the 12 months to December 2022 compared to the 12 months to December 2021. Burglaries (Residential and Business & Community combined) experienced a statistically significant increase in offences in February 2023. Domestic Abuse experienced a statistically significant decrease, due primarily to a fall in the volume of standard risk DA offences. In spite of the fact that an article published in The Guardian in December3 indicated that more than 1,800 police officers recruited under the Government s pledge to increase numbers have already resigned, in January Essex Police reached the highest numbers of officers in its 182-year history. The Force is also on track to have a total of 3,755 officers by March 2023. It is additionally of note that there has been a steady and continual increase in the numbers and proportion of employed female colleagues. 1 See comparison chart on slide 15 and data table on slide 33. 2 High Harm offences: Violence with Injury, Rape, Other Sexual Offences, Robbery of Personal Property and Burglary Residential 3Police: 1,800 officers recruited under Boris Johnson scheme have resigned .

There was, however, a 2.5% decrease in All Crime (4,163 fewer offences) for the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to December 2019.Essex recorded the second highest volume of offences per 1,000 population in its Most Similar Group of forces (MSG); there are seven other forces in Essex s MSG. Essex Police recorded a daily average of 429 crimes in February 2023, compared to an average of 415 crimes recorded in January 2023. This equates to an increase of 3.2%, or an average of 13 more crimes recorded per day. 11,998 offences were recorded in the month of February 2023, a decrease of 0.5% (56 fewer offences) compared to the month of February 2022 (11,942 offences). Compared to December 2019, the daily average has seen an increase from 426 to 429 in February 2023. The All Crime Harm (Crime Severity) Score* (14.5) has increased in the 12 months to December 2022 and places Essex seventh out of eight in its MSG. Please note: * Crime Severity Scores (as calculated by the Office for National Statistics) measure the relative harm of crimes by taking into account both their volume and their severity. As national data are only available to December 2022, the score for the 12 months to December for the preceding year has been included. 4

The number of Homicides decreased by 75.4% (46 fewer offences) in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to December 2019.* Essex experienced a 34.0% decrease (11,482 fewer) in Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) incidents for the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022.** There was a decrease of 47.0% ASB reports in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to December 2019 (19,724 fewer incidents). The average daily number of ASB incidents increased by 25.1% in February 2023 (35 incidents) compared to January 2023 (28 incidents). Please note: * In October 2019 the bodies of 39 Vietnamese nationals were discovered in a lorry trailer in Grays. This tragic incident is reflected in the Homicide numbers for the 12 months to December 2019. ** October 2021 saw the implementation of Operation SOMERTON, which aims to both improve the service given to victims of ASB and ensure crimes are correctly recorded. 5

There was a 19.2% decrease compared to the 12 months to December 2019 (293,049 calls). 28.9% of FCR 101 calls were abandoned in February 2023, an increase of 18.2 percentage points. when compared to the same period last year, (10.7%). There was a decrease of 5.0 percentage points when compared to December 2019 (34.0%). The average wait time increased by over five minutes in February 2023 when compared to February 2022, and an increase of almost a minute when compared to December 2019. The Resolution Centre received 1,410 more calls (an increase of 1.6%) in the 12 months to February 2023 (87,493 calls) compared to the 12 months to February 2022 (86,083 calls). There was a 18.5% decrease compared to the 12 months to December 2019 (107,347 calls). 28.8% of Resolution Centre (RC) calls were abandoned in February 2023, an increase of 20.0 percentage points. when compared to the same period last year, (8.8%). There was an increase of 5.3 percentage points when compared to December 2019 (23.5%). The average wait time increased by almost 24 minutes in February 2023 when compared to February 2022, and an increase of almost fourteen minutes when compared to December 2019. Due to concerns in this area, Contact Management is subject to one of the Force s major change programmes, which aims to optimise and improve its processes. The number of online reports increased by 24.8% (7,029 more) in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022. The number of reports also increased by 44.5% (10,884 more) compared to the 12 months to December 2019. 6

It was during the height of the pandemic that confidence reached its highest levels. Forces contacted by Essex Police reported similar patterns: confidence was high during COVID but has been in general decline ever since. Confidence remains 10.3 percentage points higher compared to the 12 months to December 2019 (64.7%). Year on Year, the FCR and RC 101 call abandonment rates have deteriorated. However, compared to last month there has been an improvement in the FCR statistics and both areas are currently subject to a major change programme within the Contact Management Command. Due to this, a grade of Adequate is recommended. 7

There was an 3.3% increase (513 more offences) in Violence with Injury (VWI) offences for the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022. There was a 3.8% increase compared to the 12 months to December 2019 (589 more offences). Please note: * The methodology used for identifying investigations as being drug-related is subjective (qualitative data) and based on the circumstances presented. These figures include investigations where the victim and/or suspect are suspected of being involved in Drug Use, Possession or Selling. Data has been re-run to reflect the current position. This will be run on a annual basis due to the complexity of the process. 8

The number of knife-enabled crime offences also decreased by 0.4% (six fewer) in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to December 2019. Essex conducted 11.4% more Organised Crime Group (OCG) disruptions (37 more) for the 12 months to December 2022 compared to the 12 months to December 2021. Although there was a 265.7% increase compared with the 12 months to December 2019 (263 more), this is due to a breakdown in the communication between the data from the operation activity to the figures which were produced by the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU)**. Confidence that Essex Police and partners are dealing with drug crime (from the independent survey commissioned by Essex Police) is at 59.8% for the 12 months to December 2022. The results for this question have been stable since it was first asked in September 2021. Drug related homicides and Knife enabled crimes have fallen, whilst confidence is relatively high and OCG disruptions are higher. However, there has been an increase in the number of VWI offences when compared to the same period. Overall, with three measures improving and one deteriorating, a grade of Good is recommended. Please note: * The number of knife crime offences is an indicator of how effective Essex Police is at identifying knife-enabled offences, and is not necessarily reflective of the number of these offences that have been committed in the county. This is because the identification of these offences is reliant on the appropriate indicator being manually added to the crime record. A new data quality process was introduced in June 2020 and Essex Police is currently working with the National Data Quality Improvement Service (NDQIS) to revise knife crime flags. In September 2021, data from April 2019 was revised; this resulted in an increase in the number of offences recorded. This has enabled Essex Police to better understand knife crime in Essex. ** In the fiscal year 2019/20 the disruption returns to the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit (ERSOU) averaged 25 a quarter. A process review identified a breakdown in the communication of the data from the operation activity to the figures produced by ERSOU. A project of improvement was implemented which focussed on improving the communication between teams internally, and more importantly with ERSOU, to understand the parameters of what a disruption is and share this information with all teams within Essex Police. Over a two year period a continual improvement of disruption figures has come from a refinement of the communication and claiming process. This has been focussed on ensuring that we are claiming all possible disruptions of OCGs, tracking all activity from inception to closure, being innovative in our activity led by the Organised Crime Group Management Unit (OCGMU) and highlighting and educating new teams on how they can impact OCGs in their daily work. The moderation process has also been refined to ensure consistency with ERSOU. OCG disruption data are provided quarterly, data is to December 2022. *** The confidence question was added to the external independent survey in September 2021. A year on year comparison is therefore not available. 9

The Force recorded 1,353 fewer offences in the three months to February 2023 compared to the three months to February 2022 (6,218 v. 7,571). It is of note that Stalking & Harassment offences account for about a fifth (19.6%) of all Domestic Abuse investigations and that Essex Police are currently auditing and where appropriate cancelling Stalking & Harassment offences to ensure additional crimes have not been unnecessarily recorded. Essex Police solved 1.7% (55) more DA offences for the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022. The Force solved 37 fewer offences in the three months to February 2023 compared to the three months to February 2022 (724 v. 761). There was a 4.6% decrease (1,371 fewer) in DA offences and a 7.4% increase (223 more) in the number of DA offences solved for the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to December 2019. There were 2,446 fewer repeat victims of DA in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022 (11.6% less). There was also a decrease of 9.0% (1,847 fewer) compared to the 12 months to December 2019. Please note: A repeat victim is someone who has been named as a victim for more than one crime within a 12-month period; to mitigate the fact that multiple crimes can be associated with the same incident, additional crimes with the same victim on the same date are not counted. 10

Confidence that the policing response to protect children and vulnerable people (from the independent survey commissioned by Essex Police) is at 79.6% (results to the 12 months to December 2022). Compared to year ending December 2021, confidence has decreased by 6.7 percentage points but nevertheless remains at a high level. As a result of Operation Puffin***, the force has implemented a number of changes to how it approaches the issue of domestic violence. This includes implementing improvements to the risk assessment and victim safeguarding processes. Six of the nine metrics for this Priority improved in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022 (DA offences, DA solved, repeat victims of DA, CA offences, CA solved and NRM referrals); three deteriorated (DVPNs, DVPOs and confidence). Five metrics improved when compared with the 12 months to December 2019. As such, a grade of Good is recommended. Please note: * The number of Modern Slavery referrals made to the National Referral Model are only available from April 2019 due to a change in the method of recording. A year on year comparison for the 12 months to December 2019 is therefore not possible. ** DVPN s are the first stage of the process, and DVPO the second. An officer issues a DVPN which has to go to court to become a DVPO, there are always less orders than notices as a result, as not all are approved or process hasn t been followed. *** Operation Puffin was an investigation into the horrific murder of Ashley Wadsworth by a young man with a history of domestic violence in Chelmsford last year. 12

Essex experienced a 5.1% decrease (2,007 fewer) in the number of VAP offences committed against females in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022. There was an 5.8% increase (2,044 more) in the number of VAP offences committed against females in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to December 2019. Essex Police prides itself on having excellent Crime Data Accuracy (CDA). In its most recent inspection by HMICFRS, Essex Police was graded as Outstanding in relation to its CDA. Maintaining excellent CDA, however, requires the Force to neither under-record nor over-record offences. To this end, Essex Police is auditing and where appropriate cancelling Stalking & Harassment offences to ensure additional crimes have not been unnecessarily recorded. Essex Police have also been educating those working within the Resolution Centre to ensure they fully research the individuals involved in these types of offences before they create new crimes; where previous records exist, these additional incidents are instead referred to the relevant officer(s) in order that they can be investigated together. As of the 31st January 2023, 904 records have been reviewed as potential duplicate crimes and 320 sent for cancellation; of these, 233 records (72.8%) have now been cancelled. It is of note that Stalking and Harassment offences comprise the largest volume of VAWG offences; there were, for example, 2,595 fewer Stalking and Harassment crimes committed against females in the 12 months to February 2023 (15,285 crimes) compared to the 12 months to February 2022 (17,880 crimes). There was a 5.8% decrease (286 fewer) in the number of Sexual Offences committed against females in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022, and a 22.2% increase (847 more) compared to the 12 months to December 2019. Although Essex Police solved ten fewer of these offences in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022, it solved 81 more compared to the 12 months to December 2019.

StreetSafe was developed by the Digital Public Contact (DPC) Programme in cooperation with the Home Office and the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) and was launched on 2 September 2021 as a national pilot for three months. StreetSafe was introduced into Essex as part of the government s strategy to tackle Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG). In February 2023, 7 reports were submitted in Essex. In total 335 reports have been submitted for the county. 43.5% of females feel safe walking alone in their area after dark (from the independent survey commissioned by Essex Police) for the 12 months to December 2022 compared to 74.7% of males. Essex Police is regularly reporting to the national VAWG Taskforce and HMICFRS in respect of its performance, its action plan to tackle VAWG, and its internal conduct and behaviour. This contact also shares best practice and innovation. The national VAWG Taskforce categorise work in three distinct areas: improving trust and confidence in policing; relentless pursuit of offenders; and creating safer spaces. Partnership engagement is key in tackling VAWG, as there are many strands which policing cannot tackle alone; these include education and the prevalence of VAWG and the anonymity of the internet. A national report into VAWG performance is due to be released in the near future. Essex Police encourage reporting and are working to gain a better understand this type of offence. The recent high-profile conviction of Stephen Bear demonstrates the Forces commitment to reducing VAWG and it is hoped this will encourage other victims to come forward with their experiences. There has been a decrease in Violence Against the Person offences against females compared to last year. Whilst the number of solved sexual offences has fallen compared to last year, the number of sexual offences reported has also fallen proportionately. As such a grade of Adequate is recommended. Please note: * The confidence question was added to the internal survey in September 2021 so year on year comparison is not available. 14

The number of individual repeat victims increased by 0.3% (60 more) for the 12 months to February 2023 (22,310 individual victims) compared to the 12 months to February 2022 (22,250 individual victims). There was a slightly larger overall rise of 4.7% (1,003 more) compared to the 12 months to December 2019 (21,307 individual victims). The average number of days taken to investigate High Harm offences increased to 51.3 in February 2023 compared to 49.2 in February 2022 (2.1 days more); it was 44.2 days in December 2019 (7.2 days more). There was a 0.5% decrease in the number of referrals to Victim Support in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022; this equates to 152 fewer referrals. There was, however, a 31.6% decrease (12,994 fewer referrals) for the 12 months to February 2022 compared to the 12 months to December 2019.*** Please note: * This metric details how many crimes had a repeat victim rather than the number of individual people who are repeat victims of crime. A repeat victim is someone who has been named as a victim for more than one crime within a 12-month period; to mitigate the fact that multiple crimes can be associated with the same incident, additional crimes with the same victim on the same date are not counted. ** Data are for February only for all three years. *** Please see slide 37for tables detailing Offence details. 15

Please note: * Crime Severity Scores (as calculated by the Office for National Statistics) measure the relative harm of crimes by taking into account both their volume and their severity. National data are not available for crimes committed in rural areas, so it is not possible to measure against an MSG average; due to this, Essex Police data (to January 2023) have been used rather than national data (which are to December 2022). 17

Compared to year ending December 2021, confidence in rural policing has deteriorated significantly, although it remains higher than the current overall Essex average (rural and urban combined) of 75.0%. Since 2019, confidence in Essex Police has increased significantly in every area across Essex. The four districts with the lowest levels of confidence (between 69%-75%) are urban. Essex Police is one of only 15 forces who have dedicated Rural Policing Teams. Essex Police are also continuing their commitment to prevent rural and heritage crime with the innovative launch of a horseback volunteer scheme in Uttlesford. The idea behind the scheme is that horse riders are in a unique position to spot signs of suspicious activity related to offences such as hare coursing, stolen agricultural vehicles, unlawful metal detecting or theft of lead from protected heritage buildings. The horseback volunteers will be trained in what to look out for and will be able to report any concerns or suspicious activity, helping the Force target those committing offences and stop criminality before it happens. Confidence in the local police in rural areas remains higher than in Essex as a whole, and offence levels in the 12 months to February 2023 are lower compared to the 12 months to December 2019 (pre-COVID). While there has been a slight increase in the number of rural offences and a slight decrease in the number solved, performance remains stable. A grade of Adequate is therefore recommended.

There was a 10.0% decrease (147 fewer offences) in drink driving and a 7.1% decrease (71 fewer offences) in drug driving. There was also a 31.7% decrease (1,049 fewer offences) in drink/drug driving offences for the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to December 2019; of these offences, there was a 9.4% decrease (138 fewer offences) in drink driving and a 49.4% decrease (911 fewer offences) in drug driving. All of these offence types are primarily driven by police proactivity in relation to road safety. The number of Failure to Provide samples decreased by 11.0% (39 fewer) in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the same period last year, and by 20.6% compared to the 12 months to December 2019. There was a 229.4% increase (1030 more offences) in the number of driving related mobile phone offences recorded for the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022.* Confidence in Essex Police and organisations with whom they police the roads (from the independent survey commissioned by Essex Police) is at 66.9% (results to the 12 months to December 2022). Confidence in the local police and organisations they work with has increased significantly when compared to year ending December 2021 (63.9%). Due to the increase in KSIs and the decrease in the number of driving under the influence of drink drug driving in the past 12 months compared to the previous 12 months and the 12 months to December 2019 a grade of Requires Improvement is recommended. Please note: * In 2019, the definition as to what constituted use of a mobile phone in relation to driver-related mobile phone offences was subject to a legal challenge. This resulted in a ruling, which held that while use included accessing the interactive functions of the mobile phone (such as making calls, sending messages or using the internet), it did not extend to solely accessing the device s internal functions (such as making use of the camera). Fewer mobile phone offences were subsequently prosecuted from this point. In 2021 the government announced that the law was to be changed making it illegal to hold a phone or sat nav when driving or riding a motorcycle. This law was finally passed on 25th March 2022. 23

In January 2022, the Local Policing Support Unit (LPSU) introduced a Strategic Co-ordination Group which proactively supports, throughout the county, the mobilisation of all Special Constables, Police Support Volunteers, Active Citizens, Accredited Persons and, where appropriate our Volunteer Police Cadets, with local operations and initiatives under the Chief Constable s Plan on a Page and the Police, Fire Crime Commissioner s Police and Fire Plan. Since last month s report, there are now: twelve more dog group members, three more farm and rural group members and three more heritage group members. There are currently 2,343 NHW Co-ordinators and 79,449 NHW members. Please note: * Neighbourhood Watch data were first produced in March 2022 so year on year comparison is not available. 24

This is down 30.6% (144 fewer) compared to February 2022. Compared to the 12 months to December 2019 this is down 37.0% (192 fewer). There are 221 Volunteer Police Cadets (VPCs) and 87 Volunteer Cadet Leaders across 13 Cadet Units. In addition, there are 99 Police Support Volunteers and 56 Active Citizens within Essex Police across the county, a total of 155 Volunteers. This is a decrease of 2 compared to last month. These volunteers also are part of the Strategic Co-ordination Group and support their Locally Community Policing Teams with local events. Confidence that there are good opportunities for volunteers to assist policing and reduce crime in Essex (from the independent survey commissioned by Essex Police) is at 52.5% for the 12 months to December 2022. Confidence has increased each quarter since Q4 2021/22 (2021/22 Q4 45.1%; 2022/23 Q1 48.6%; Q2 49.4%). The total number of volunteers decreased slightly compared to last month. The Special Constabulary headcount has also decreased significantly compared to 12 months ago and December 2019. However, due to the fact that Essex has the second largest Special Constabulary in the country, and that the Essex Police makes use of Ethics Boards to inform its work, a grade of Adequate is recommended. Please note: Monthly data only collected from December 2022 so year on year comparisons not available. VPC data are taken from the cadet census and are for the 28th February each year. Of the 13 Cadet Units 10 are active and 3 are temporarily suspended due to not enough leader coverage in that area. Recruitment is ongoing to get the units up and iiiiirunning again. They are Southend, Chelmsford & Braintree. ** The confidence question was added to the internal survey in September 2021 so year on year comparison is not available. 25

However, in contrast, there has been an increase of 51 compared to December 2019 (217). In the 12 months to February 2023, 356 new officers took their oaths to the King and started their Essex Police careers. The new officers pledged their commitment to police with the consent of every community at a time when the Force is welcoming more new colleagues from a range of different backgrounds. Over the same period, 244 officers left their positions, leading to an overall increase of 112 officers over the last year. The average days lost per person for sickness decreased for Staff and PCSOs, but increased for Officers in the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022. Full Time Employee vacancies deteriorated for all employee types except PCSOs over the same period. For these reasons a grade of Adequate is recommended. Please note: * Ethnic minority employees as a percentage of the total workforce. ** Ethnic minority employees as a percentage of type of employee. 26

This is an increase of 17% compared to the 12 months to December 2021.* There was a 52.0% decrease (1,397 fewer) in the number of programmes delivered in the 12 months to December 2022 compared to the 12 months to December 2019.** Audience Numbers decreased by 42.5% (88,963 fewer) in the 12 months to December 2022 compared to the 12 months to December 2019.** This section is due to be reviewed to include additional context. Whilst there has been a decrease in programmes delivered and audience numbers in the 12 months to December 2022 compared to the 12 months to December 2019, due to a lack of further qualitative information, a grade of Adequate is recommended. Please note: * Data is to December 2022. Only data for the last two years has been provided, so comparisons to the Pre-Covid period are not possible. ** Schools and colleges reopened in September 2020 due to the pandemic, but were closed again from January to March 2021. In addition, throughout most of the September 2020 to July 2021 period there were still government restrictions on gathering and movement, especially for non-essential mixing. *** Data is only available to September 2022. 27

  28. Monthly Performance Overview: Exceptions Exceptions Overview The force saw a statistically exceptional increase in Burglaries and a statistically exceptional decrease in Domestic Abuse in February 2023. Burglary (Residential and Business & Community combined) Increase 5.0% increase (321 more crimes) for the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022. Domestic Abuse Decrease 8.1% decrease (2,489 fewer crimes) for the 12 months to February 2023 compared to the 12 months to February 2022.

  32. End Notes 1Crime Severity Score measures relative harm of crimes by taking into account both the volume and the severity of offences, and by weighting offences differently. National data for the 12 months to December 2022 have been used in order that comparisons can be made to Essex s Most Similar Group of Forces (MSG). 2 Please note that on Wednesday 23 October 2019 the bodies of 39 Vietnamese nationals were discovered in a lorry trailer in Grays. This tragic incident is reflected in the Homicide numbers. 3 October 2021 saw the implementation of Operation SOMERTON, which aims to both improve the service given to victims of ASB and ensure crimes are correctly recorded. 4 Question from the independent survey commissioned by Essex Police. Results are for the period 12 months December 2022 versus the 12 months to December 2021. 5 The confidence interval is the range +/- within which the survey result will lie. This is mainly influenced by the number of people answering the survey. The more people that answer the survey, the smaller the interval range. 6 The methodology used for identifying these investigations as drug related is subjective and based on the circumstances presented. These figures will include investigations where the victim or the suspect are involved Drug Use, Possession or Selling. 7 The number of knife crime offences is an indicator of how effective Essex Police is at identifying knife-enabled offences, and is not necessarily reflective of the number of these offences that have been committed in the county. This is because the identification of these offences is reliant on the appropriate indicator being manually added to the crime record. A manual review of knife flags was conducted and missing flags were added retrospectively. Additionally a new data quality process was introduced in June 2020. Whilst this has enabled us to better understand knife crime in Essex, the process has consequently inflated the figures. As such, no inferences can be drawn as to the current trend. 8 OCG disruptions are reported quarterly. Data are to December 2022. 9 Solved outcomes are crimes that result in: charge or summons, caution, crimes taken into consideration, fixed penalty notice, cannabis warning or community resolution. 10 NRM data only available from April 2019 due to recording change at that time. 11 High Harm offences: Violence with Injury, Rape, Other Sexual Offences, Robbery of Personal Property and Residential Burglary. Average number of days are for the previous month in all three periods. 12 This is the number of theft offences in which dogs were stolen, and not necessarily the number of dogs which were stolen. 32

  33. End Notes - continued 13 Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) refers to all people killed or seriously injured on Essex s roads, regardless of whether any criminal offences were committed. Causing Death/Serious Injury by Dangerous/Inconsiderate Driving offences (detailed on slide 22) refers to the number of crimes of this type. 14In 2019, the definition as to what constituted use of a mobile phone in relation to driver-related mobile phone offences was subject to a legal challenge. This resulted in a ruling, which held that while use included accessing the interactive functions of the mobile phone (such as making calls, sending messages or using the internet), it did not extend to solely accessing the device s internal functions (such as making use of the camera). Fewer mobile phone offences were subsequently prosecuted from this point. In 2021 the government announced that the law was to be changed making it illegal to hold a phone or sat nav when driving or riding a motorcycle. This law was finally passed on 25th March 2022. 15 Monthly data only collected from December 2022 so year on year comparisons not available. 16 Neighbourhood Watch data are reported quarterly. Data as at 28th February 2022. 17 Ethnic minority employees as a percentage of the total workforce. 18 Absence data: Rolling from 1st April each year. 19 Data provided by the Fire Service and to the 12 months to December 2022. 20 Number of offences with repeat victim including month on month percentage change.
