3.2 The initial review carried out by the Scottish Police Authority and Police Scotland consisted of a strategic assessment analysis of current and future harms and threats, and a review of progress made so far to deliver against the outcomes in the current Strategic Police Plan. 3.3 Local authorities were invited to provide views and observations on the work carried out to date and any areas which would benefit from revised emphasis in a new iteration of the plan. Open-ended responses were requested at this stage and after these have been reviewed, considered and incorporated into the emerging draft plan as appropriate, it is the intention for a wider and more structured consultation process to take place. 4. Renfrewshire Council response to initial review of Strategic Police Plan 4.1 Renfrewshire Council welcomed the opportunity to comment on the initial review of findings on the joint Strategic Police Plan and an open-ended response was provided on 4 September 2022.

Appendix 1 – Renfrewshire Council response to initial review of Strategic Police Plan Submitted: 4 September 2022 When the Joint Strategy for Policing (2020) was launched, Elected Members of the Police and Fire & Rescue Scrutiny Sub Committee in Renfrewshire were very supportive of the 5 Strategic Outcomes and 15 Strategic Objectives. This still remains the case, however, some of the objectives are going to be tested more in the coming months and year than ever before. Renfrewshire Council agrees with the 5 areas requiring greater depth as part of the National Strategic Assessment. However, consideration also requires to be given with regards to interaction with youths as due to external circumstances (Covid-19, Cost of Living Crisis, Ukraine War and uncertainty), this is an area of increased activity and anti-social behaviour that is causing massive anxiety in communities across both Renfrewshire and nationally (discussions with other local authorities). The areas of change that will influence policing in 2022-2027 as detailed under Horizons Scanning and Future Approach are agreed with and welcomed, in particular the continued focus on public health approaches, early intervention and preventative approaches. Whilst the cost of living crisis is mentioned under a report, Renfrewshire Council wonders if this area was reviewed now, that this would influence policing more in the coming years than many of the other issues. With communities going to struggle in coming months/year/s then policing will need to respond to this. This is obviously captured in the Strategic Objective - Support the changing nature of communities, however, there will be a sharper focus in the coming period. One of the key issues talks about “trust and confidence” in policing. Within Renfrewshire, there is a strong relationship between the Council and Police (K Division), however, complaints are being received regarding the waiting times for calls being answered and responded to on 101. This is causing a confidence issue locally as people are losing trust and stopping phoning Police Scotland. Community Police resourcing should also be a focus over the coming year given the above challenges and the constant drain on these Officers within the community. Important initiatives cannot be resourced and again this is leading to a lack of confidence by Elected Members and communities. Renfrewshire Council agrees with the conclusions detailed in the paper and agrees there has been good progress made to deliver the ambitious strategic outcomes and the plan is being delivered in the face of changing circumstances e.g. Covid- 19/COP26. However, these challenges are continuing and as stated above, more cognisance should be taken of changing demographics (youths coming out from challenging years) and the cost of living crisis. These should be areas of emphasis on page 7. The work undertaken and relationships in Renfrewshire (K Division) remain excellent through the Renfrewshire Community Safety Partnership and the Outcomes and Objectives are being met, however, constant monitoring of resources will be required in the coming years to ensure policing within communities continues to meet their needs.

Due to the continued focus and proactivity on the issue there has been a increase of 30.1% in the number of detected drug supply offences, compared to the previous five year average. In the reporting period, 57 crimes have been reported to the Crown. We continue to gather intelligence for further enforcement action in Renfrewshire.

Motor vehicle crimes are also trending down, with a decrease of 36.3% on the five year average. Fraud is one of the few crimes of dishonesty for which an increase has been recorded—with reported crimes rising 75.1% above the five year average, to a total of 215 crimes.

We will continue to work closely with our partners in Renfrewshireto ensure we are all “Working Together for a Safer Scotland” through targeting risks to our communities at a local level.

The Local Fire and Rescue Plan for Renfrewshire identified six areas for demand reduction and is subject to regular monitoring and reporting through the Police / Fire and Rescue Committee. A summary of the priorities and current activity is detailed below with further detail and analysis contained within this performance report.
