Summary
Humberside has a population of almost 900,000 and has four operational commands aligned with unitary authorities and local crime and disorder reduction partnerships.
Strategic priorities for 2006/07 aim to improve how calls from the public are handled and implement a system for investigating crime that ensures, when evidence exists, that the offender is identified and dealt with promptly. It is also intended to provide dedicated and responsive policing teams to all neighbourhoods and to deal effectively with anti-social behaviour, criminal damage and other incidents that make communities feel unsafe.
The force has achieved some significant reductions in crime levels, and the formation of a major investigation team has greatly improved its capability to respond quickly and effectively to major crime incidents. Implementation of the incident-handling improvement team project has had a significant impact on call handling by delivering a far better quality of service to the public.
Call handling and response remain significant challenges, as do increasing community engagement and using new funding to produce real outcomes. The recent introduction of the volume crime model presents a major challenge but should lead to increased sanction detections and crime reduction. The roll-out of neighbourhood policing and the integration of police community support officers will strengthen community policing and reduce the fear of crime even further.
