LSO Ewing advised that all performance indicators in terms of accidental dwelling fires; accidental dwelling fire casualties and fatalities special service; deliberate fires; non-domestic fires; and unwanted fire alarm signals, were below the 3 year average. During discussion surrounding home fire safety visits, it was queried whether there was any indication as to whether residents in Moray were complying with the recent change in legislation regarding the installation of smoke alarms in their homes. In response, LSO Ewing advised that the Fire Service could only carry out a home fire safety check if invited to do so by a resident however if a high risk individual required to have interlinked smoke alarm devices installed, the Fire Service could assist however for a regular home fire safety check, a stand alone smoke detector unit would be fitted. LSO Ewing further offered a thematic report on home fire safety visits at a future meeting of this Committee, if this was felt to be helpful. This was agreed. Following consideration, the Committee agreed to note: (i) performance outlined in the report applicable to annual performance for 1 April 2022 to 1 September 2022; and (ii) that consideration would be given to providing a thematic report on Home Fire Safety Visits to a future meeting of the Committee. 7 Police Performance Page 6
Page 7
Under reference to paragraph 6 of the Minute of the meeting of this Committee dated 19 November 2020, a report by the Divisional Police Commander, North East Division, Police Scotland, informed the Committee of the performance of Police in respect of the Local Policing Plan 2020-23 and other key indicators. During her introduction, Chief Superintendent Stephen advised that Emma Bond had replaced John Hawkins as Assistant Chief Constable and that the Local Police Plan was currently being refreshed with a view to providing a new plan for 2023- 2026. Chief Superintendent Stephen went on to provide an overview of police performance in terms of staffing; complaints; anti-social behaviour, violence and disorder; acquisitive crime; road safety and road crime; protecting people at risk of harm; serious organised crime; and counter terrorism and domestic extremism. During discussion surrounding the recent increase in anti-social behaviour in the Elgin and Keith areas, it was stated that local Ward Members are being contacted frequently by residents who are concerned about the behaviour of these children and in some cases, concerned for their safety and it was queried what action the Police are taking in this regard, in particular, how parents are being informed. In response, Chief Superintendent Stephen advised that this was a challenge for the Police at this time and is a direct result of children receiving free bus passes which enables travel throughout Moray. Chief Inspector Reid further advised that in late June, the Police started to receive a large number of calls complaining of anti-social behaviour, primarily in the Elgin area and usually on a Friday and Saturday evening. Whilst the benefits of free bus travel for young people were recognised, it was noted that previous anti-social behaviour experienced in Keith, Buckie and Forres was being displaced to Elgin and linked to large groups of young people wishing to gather outside in open space. Following reports from Elgin Business Improvement District (BID), Elected Members and residents asking for a more visible police presence in the area, the community policing team were supported to engage with the young people with a view to preventing any anti-social behaviour. Community focused officers engaged with young people in schools to promote good behaviour however this was hampered by schools closing for the summer holidays. With regard to some serious incidents that have occurred, Chief Inspector Reid advised that these had been dealt with accordingly and reported to the Young Justice Management Unit and, if required, the Crown Office Procurator Fiscal however Chief Inspector Reid advised that assistance from partners within education, social work, other third sector agencies and parents was vital to address the issue going forward. This was noted. During further discussion surrounding the New Driver Scheme, it was queried whether the scheme was the same that had been used in the past. In response, Chief Inspector Reid advised that the New Driver Scheme had been developed further and had been very effective and agreed to provide further information in this regard to the Committee following the meeting. This was noted. In relation to the recent increase in antisocial behaviour, it was queried whether there was any correlation to the recent change in age of criminal responsibility. In response, Chief Superintendent Stephen advised that enquiries would be made as to whether there is evidence to suggest that the increase in anti-social Page 7
Page 8
behaviour coincides with the recent change in age of criminal responsibility. This was noted. Thereafter, the Committee agreed: (i) to note performance outlined in the reports; and (ii) that the Local Commander will continue to report to the Committee quarterly on performance measures against service objectives as articulated in the 2020-23 Local Policing Plan; (iii) the actions taken by the Police in relation to the recent increase in anti- social behaviour in Moray; (iv) to note that the Committee will be provided with further information in relation to the newly developed New Driver Scheme; (v) to note that enquiries would be made as to whether there is evidence to suggest that the spike in anti-social behaviour coincides with the recent change in age of criminal responsibility. 8 Question Time Councillor Coull sought an update in relation to the recent Scottish Fire and Rescue Service recruitment drive. In response LSO Ewing advised that recruitment in Moray continued to improve steadily and further explained the PREP initiative where early contact is made with potential candidates who are then supported through the recruitment process. 9 Police Scotland Operational Update [Para 14] Chief Superintendent Stephen and Chief Inspector Reid answered questions raised in relation to operational matters within Police Scotland.

7 Local Fire and Rescue Plan for Moray 2021 - Year to Date Monitoring of Performance PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS Of the 6 Priority areas, the following performance should be noted for the year to date 2022/23: Accidental Dwelling Fires The statistics against the key performance indicators show that we have a decrease compared to the three-year rolling average for Accidental Dwelling Fires. SFRS continue to work with partners to provide support and assistance to the most vulnerable in our local communities, reducing the risk of fire within homes. Accidental Dwelling Fire Casualties & Fatalities Accidental Dwelling Fire Casualties have seen a decrease compared to the three-year average. There have been no Fire Fatalities in the Moray area during this reporting period. Special Service All Special Service Calls have had a slight increase compared to the three-year average. The categories of Special Service with the highest number of calls were and Effecting Entry, RTC, and assisting other agencies. SFRS continue to work closely with partners to address these areas with targeted education within our local communities. Deliberate Fires Deliberate Fires have decreased compared to the three-year average. We have targeted the root causes of deliberate secondary fires (grassland/scrub) which had contributed to the bulk of the calls in 21/22. This was achieved via local crews engaging with land owners, local community groups and tourisms/visitors to the area. Non Domestic Fires Non- Domestic Fires have remained similar compared to the three-year average with resources attending 26 incidents covering a variety of premise types. We continue to work with owners and occupiers through our Fire Safety Enforcement Programme and Post Fire Audits to reduce the number of Non-Domestic Fires. False Alarm – UFAS UFAS incidents have increased compared to the three-year average, this has been noted due to many returning to the workplace following the COVID-19 pandemic. Distillery’s and education have been contributing to the bulk of the calls attended. Local crews assisted by Fire Safety Enforcement officers have undertaking targeted engagement with premises owner, providing advise on how to reduce UFAS through improved management arrangements.

Our aim is to reduce the rate of ADF’s by keeping these incidents below the three-year average for 2022/23. The reduction of fire casualties is clearly linked to our priority “Unintentional Harm and Home Safety”. The reduction of fire fatalities and casualties is at the core of our preventative and early intervention activities carried out by SFRS in the Moray area. Significant contributory factors associated with the number of fire casualties and fatalities include, lifestyle, independent living strategies, smoking, consumption of alcohol and prescribed and non- prescribed drugs, Individual capacity and vulnerability, and ageing demographics. ADF Fatal Casualties This indicator counts those people for whom fire has been clearly identified as the cause of death, even if they die some-time after the actual fire. Those who die at, or after, the fire but where fire is not identified as the cause of death are not included in these figures. Our aim is to have Zero ADF Fatal Casualties, in Moray during 2022/23 ADF Non-Fatal Casualties This Indicator counts all types of non-fatal fire injury in the home, including precautionary checks. Our aim is to reduce the risk of injury from fire in the home by keeping fire injuries below the three-year average during 2022/23. What we aim to Achieve As well as helping to deliver Priority One: Unintentional Harm & Home Safety, our activities will also support the long-term ambition of the Moray 10 Year Plan and supports achievement of the following local outcomes: • Building a better future for our children and young people in Moray • Empowering and connecting communities • Growing, diverse and sustainable economy • Changing our relationship with alcohol Page 19
Page 20
10 Local Fire and Rescue Plan for Moray 2021 - Year to Date Monitoring of Performance Performance Management There have been 35 ADF’s reported year to date, which is below the three-year average. We are therefore showing green for achieving the annual target. Accidental dwelling fires can have a significant negative impact upon both individuals, the wider community and are financially costly to house holders and housing providers in terms of repair and the reinstatement of homes. Key contributory risk factors include, lifestyle, independent living strategies, smoking, consumption of alcohol and prescribed and non-prescribed drugs. Individual capability and vulnerability, and aging demographics. There has been 0 ADF Fatal Casualties during year to date. We are therefore showing green for achieving the annual target. There has been 7 ADF Non-Fatal Casualties year to date, which is below the three-year average so we are showing green for achieving the annual target. Home Fire Safety Visits remain a key focus in our community safety activity to reduce accidental dwelling fires and casualties resulting from these. We continue to explore and develop partnerships throughout the area to identify those most vulnerable and/or at risk from fire and/or harm in the home. Through our contribution to Moray Community Safety Hub and the Community Planning Partnership collectively we have raised awareness of our referral process and promote a better understanding of fire risk in the home. The figures presented below show the number of Home Fire Safety Visits (HFSV) delivered year-to-date compared to the same period 2021: 2021 / 22 2022 / 23 High 425 239 Medium 209 155 Low 92 199 Total 726 513 The delivery of HFSV’s to date have decreased compared to last year. The SFRS focus remains on delivery of high HFSV’s to target the most vulnerable with our communities and these are being carried out by both our Community Action Teams as well as operational front-line staff. We continue to monitor emerging risk and will adjust our delivery strategy in line with Scottish Government guidance, to protect both the public and our staff. Page 20

12 Local Fire and Rescue Plan for Moray 2021 - Year to Date Monitoring of Performance Indicator Description A core part of SFRS activity locally is responding to Non-Fire Emergencies such as road traffic collisions (RTCs), other rescue situations and flooding. Firefighters are trained to a high standard and have at their disposal the most modern equipment for extracting people in rescue situations and administrating first aid to casualties. As well as our operational response we are actively involved in preventing accidents from occurring through our work with the Moray Community Safety Hub and Public Protection Partnership. What we aim to Achieve As well as helping to deliver Priority Three: Non-Fire Emergencies, our activities will also support the long-term ambition of the Moray 10 Year Plan and supports achievement of the following local outcomes: • Building a better future for our children and young people in Moray • Empowering and connecting communities • Growing, diverse and sustainable economy • Changing our relationship with alcohol • All Non-Fire Emergency (Ward Area) Committee 19/20 20/21 21/22 22/23 Buckie 16 15 16 14 Elgin North 16 16 29 26 Elgin South 30 16 24 37 Forres 14 17 23 24 Keith 13 18 19 15 Laich 18 15 23 24 Milnes 22 12 16 21 Speyside 28 9 27 14 Total 157 118 177 175 Page 22

13 Local Fire and Rescue Plan for Moray 2021 - Year to Date Monitoring of Performance Performance Management Special Service Incidents have increased slightly when compared to the average over the last 3 years, with 175 incidents attended. We are therefore showing green for achieving the annual target. During the Covid-19 Pandemic there was an increased request for assistance from partner agencies which falls under the incident type of special service, these continue to increase but SFRS are committed to supporting our partners. Out with RTC’s the most common form of Non-Fire Emergencies was effecting entry of which there were 52, and calls to assist other agencies of which there were 27. Incidents also included 35 road traffic collisions, as well as a small number of animal rescues and flooding’s. We continue working with partners through the Community Planning Partnership to reduce the number of casualties on our roads. In addition, we are working with partners agencies to share knowledge and experience when dealing with Non- Fire Emergencies. Prevention is a key role of the SFRS locally and this extends to our expansion in the role of reducing unintentional harm and identification of a wide range of risks. We continue to promote Road Safety through our Annual Station Plans and our involvement with Road Safety Groups at both a Strategic and Operational level. Page 23

15 Local Fire and Rescue Plan for Moray 2021 - Year to Date Monitoring of Performance Indicator Description In Moray, evidence reflects that deliberate fires are a problem in specific areas that can be linked to anti-social behaviour. Partnership working is key to reducing this type of incident and with the assistance of partners and communities we have reduced deliberate fires in areas where historically we have seen the highest level of activity. Deliberate fires can be split into two different categories, these are Deliberate Primary and Deliberate Secondary Fires. What we aim to achieve As well as helping to deliver Priority Three: Anti-Social Behaviour, our activities will also support the long-term ambition of the Moray 10 Year Plan and supports achievement of the following local outcomes: • Building a better future for our children and young people in Moray • Empowering and connecting communities • Growing, diverse and sustainable economy • Changing our relationship with alcohol Performance Management Results for this indicator show that we are below the average number of deliberate fires in Moray compared against the average for Scotland. During this reporting period we have seen a reduction in deliberate primary fires, including a decrease in deliberate secondary fires. During this period 72 of the 94 Deliberate Fires that occurred were Secondary fires. Many of these fires for the reporting period were involving wheelie bins, skips and waste storage structures. The remainder were split between grass / vegetation fires and a van fire. Partnership working is key to reducing deliberate fires and we achieve this through the Moray Community Safety Hub. An example was a trend that had been identified in Elgin town centre and the surrounding areas following a spate of deliberate fires. These fires were involving bins and refuse. Our crews and Legislative Fire Safety Officers worked with partners in Police Scotland, local authority and business owners to manage the accumulation of waste awaiting collection, particularly over the weekend period. This resulted in the reduction of these deliberate fires and an arrest by our partners in Police Scotland.

17 Local Fire and Rescue Plan for Moray 2021 - Year to Date Monitoring of Performance Indicator Description This priority concentrates on the reduction of fires occurring within buildings that are non-domestic premises. It also provides focus on the reduction of accidental ‘other’ primary and secondary fires which include agricultural land, forestry and moorland fires which pose a unique risk to the Moray area. Partnership working is key to reducing these types of incident and we work with building occupiers and owners through our Legislative Fire Safety Enforcement Officers to reduce fires in non-domestic properties. Every fire that occurs in a non-domestic building is followed up by a post-fire audit. These audits are carried out by our dedicated fire safety enforcement team. Partnership working with land and forestry owners continue, where risk reduction initiatives are discussed and delivered.

This reporting period has seen a continued significant reduction of Accidental ‘Other’ Secondary Fires within the Heldon & Laich Ward. Local engagement and education programmes have seen decreases of incident types - grassland, Woodland and crops between 20/21-22/23 of 17 to a total of 4. Our dedicated Fire Safety Enforcement Officers continue to audit relevant premises that fall within the scope of the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 to ensure compliance with their statutory responsibilities. These officers engage with duty holders of relevant premises and provide advice and guidance on how to prevent both accidental and deliberate fires in non-domestic buildings. Results for accidental ‘other’ primary and secondary fires are below the three-year average for the Moray area. Our Operational staff will continue to work with landowners to reduce this type of risk through risk reduction initiatives, training, and familiarisation visits. Page 28

20 Local Fire and Rescue Plan for Moray 2021 - Year to Date Monitoring of Performance Indicator Description Automatic Fire alarms (AFA) are fundamental to providing early warning from fire, giving people the chance to evacuate safely. However, to be effective, they must be properly installed and maintained, and a good fire safety management regime must be in place by the duty holder, so they do not activate when there is no fire. Every Unwanted Fire Alarm Signal (UFAS) from an AFA has an impact in terms of unnecessary blue light journeys, redirecting SFRS resources away from other activities such as community safety work and causing considerable disruption to businesses. Our aim is to improve fire safety management and awareness, by reducing the number of attendances to unwanted fire alarm signals (UFAS) from automatic systems in non- domestic buildings during 2022/23. What we aim to Achieve As well as helping to deliver Priority Five: Reducing Unwanted Fire Alarm Signals, our activities will also support the long-term ambition of the Moray 10 Year Plan and supports achievement of the following local outcomes: • Building a better future for our children and young people in Moray • Empowering and connecting communities • Growing, diverse and sustainable economy • Changing our relationship with alcohol Performance Management Year to date, the total number of UFAS stands at 386, which is above the 3-year average for Moray, and below the average for Scotland. The table below lists the top three property types that had persistent call-outs due to UFAS during April to September. Property Types No. of UFAS Distilleries 103 Education 45 Warehouses 34 All operational crews have received training and provide advice to occupiers each and every time that they attend a UFAS incident and use the opportunity to educate the duty holder about the impact UFAS has on their businesses and the service. Fire safety enforcement officers are also monitoring premises which are approaching the prescribed intervention stages Page 30

During this year, firefighters visited a range of sites to gather operational intelligence for both buildings and water risk, and reviewed our response plans. Senior Managers attended a number of planning meetings to identify the SFRS resources that were required to support a number of events in Moray during this year. Description The SFRS has a statutory duty to reduce the risks to our communities and to prepare for and respond to major emergencies. It is essential our firefighters possess the skills, knowledge and expertise to respond to incidents which, by their nature, can be varied in both their type and complexity. In Moray, this means: • Knowing what the risks are in Moray and then making plans, so we are resilient to respond to any event. • Exercising these plans • Being prepared to respond to national threats or major emergencies. • Developing flexibility to deploy crews, to take on a broadening role within the community. • Firefighters being equipped to deal with emergencies safely and effectively and our stations being in a constant state of readiness. • Safe, secure, vibrant and sustainable communities • An inclusive and sustainable economy • An enhanced, protected and enjoyed natural and built environment • Improved physical, mental and emotional health and well-being Page 31

OFFICIAL 3. OFFICIAL Introduction I am pleased to present the latest Police and Fire and Rescue Services Committee report on behalf of Police Scotland, North East Division. This report, my first as Divisional Commander, details performance in Moray aligned to the agreed priorities at local and national level for the period of 1 April to 30 September 2022. In line with previous reports submitted, comparison is provided against 5 Year Averages to ensure a more accurate picture can be drawn distinct from periods during which the impact of Covid lockdown measures obscured clear comparison. The report also contains additional information and context to illustrate a more informed perspective of matters across Moray. Staffing levels have remained consistent during the six months to which this report pertains, but like other public sector partners, there are significant budgetary challenges ahead. The impact of a change in pension regulations mean that many more experienced colleagues are choosing to retire earlier than previously anticipated. This has had an unprecedented impact across Police Scotland in both local policing divisions and national teams. Recruitment was initially boosted to replace retiring officers but shortfalls are still evident across the country. Whilst recruitment continues, our budget allocation for 2023- 2024 does not match current double-digit inflation and hard choices lie ahead. The Chief Constable will consider the full implications of the budget allocation in the coming weeks and thereafter, I will take the action needed to make best use of the funding available for North East Division. This reporting period has seen the delivery of a new national crime recording system to North East Division. ‘COS UNIFI’ replaced the ‘Crimefile’ application which had been in use locally for approximately 30 years. This was a significant period of organisational change and North East Division is one of the first in Scotland to make operational use of this. The magnitude of change has understandably presented challenges but I am pleased to report the implementation has been successful and we are already recognising efficiencies of the system. During September 2022 specialist and local Officers from Moray formed part of the wider deployment to local and national events connected with the death of Her Majesty The Queen delivering these with dignity. This was the largest ‘no- notice’ mass mobilisation of Officers and Staff since the creation of Police Scotland and significant local preparatory work ensured no loss of service provision to our communities in Moray. As Moray continues to recover from the pandemic, longer term effects of this remain evident and it is essential we remain committed to providing an effective, visible service working closely with partners to improve the lives of those resident in our communities. Aligned with the evolving impact of the cost of living crisis, Officers in Moray are increasingly called upon by partners or are first in response to incidents associated with some of the most vulnerable within our society at a point of personal crisis. These incidents often require immediate intervention for mental health issues and subsequent signposting to appropriate support services and agencies. Demand placed upon front line teams in Moray is often associated with poor mental health, poverty, housing and substance misuse and frequently occurs in a ‘non-criminal’ space. The close relationships cultivated by Local Policing and specialist teams across Moray with statutory and third sector organisations and groups require to be equally supported by our partners to provide effective and meaningful preventative initiatives connected to these issues.

OFFICIAL 4. OFFICIAL The delivery of ‘Operation Protector’ targeting the sale and supply of controlled drugs and engaging with those vulnerable to exploitation by Organised Crime Groups (OCG’s); local community Officer engagement at schools to influence youth Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) and violence; the Community Investigation Team’s proactivity around drug supply and associated ASB and work by local Officers and Road Policing specialists in respect of Road Safety concerns have delivered tangible results, in conjunction with partners, to address priority issues in Moray during this period. Policing remains relentless and this report reflects a busy and demanding period. I would like to take this opportunity to record my thanks to the Officers, Staff and Special Constables who have worked tirelessly during a period of continued exceptional demand to improve the safety and wellbeing of people, places and communities across Moray.

OFFICIAL 5. OFFICIAL Staffing Authorised Establishment September 2022 Difference Police Officers1 1092 FTE 1057.47 FTE -34.53 FTE September 2021 September 2022 Difference Police Staff1 119.57 FTE 115.59 FTE -3.98 FTE 1 North East Division (Moray, Aberdeenshire, and Aberdeen City) Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Staffing levels have remained relatively consistent during the six months to which this report pertains, but the impact of a change in pension regulations mean that many more experienced colleagues across Police Scotland are choosing to retire earlier than previously anticipated. This has had a significant impact across Police Scotland in both national teams and local policing divisions, including North East Division. Recruitment was initially boosted to replace retiring officers but shortfalls are still evident across the country. We have sought to encourage local applicants and during August a very successful recruitment event was held by Community Policing Officers and Special Constables in conjunction with ‘Developing Young Workforce’ (DYW) Moray at UHI Moray College. This and wider focused recruitment across the region has led to an additional 14 probationary Officers being recruited. These Officers are currently undertaking their initial Probationary Training Course at the Police Scotland College before joining the Division with 3 being deployed to stations in Moray. With a further intake of Officers planned before the end of the current financial year the current deficit should be further reduced. There are 21 Probationary Officers at various operational stations across the Moray area. 11 Special Constables routinely work alongside full time regular Officers in Community and Specialist Policing teams including Road Policing, Public Protection and Domestic Abuse teams in Moray. These Officers volunteer considerable personal time in service to our communities and the value of their support cannot be overstated. Page 41

An additional 2 Complaints About the Police have been recorded during this reporting period equating to a 4.5% increase while ‘On Duty’ allegations remain the same. Quality of Service allegations, which focus on Police powers and procedure, have increased by 4.3% equating to 1 additional allegation on the previous reporting period, primarily in respect of the ‘type of Police response’. Difficult decisions in respect of call attendance and ‘face to face’ contact remain a challenge with the initial call handling assessment incorporating factors based on levels of threat, vulnerability and the risk of immediate harm. This assessment ultimately dictates our level of response and can lead to frustration in terms of response times and level of interaction between Officers and the public. Local scrutiny via our Insight and Engagement Team has highlighted a positive position in respect of initial contact and the attitude of attending Officers with members of the public feeling reassured that their needs were understood by Officers. ‘User Experience Data’ is routinely shared with and scrutinised by the Division. This allows for regular overview of feedback around Service Delivery which is shared amongst Staff. We are responsive to this and it is recognised that positive action informed by such data is essential to proactively reduce Complaints About the Police and enhance the quality of service we provide the public. While any increase in Complaints About the Police is disappointing, our Front Line Resolution (FLR) process, affording a complainer the opportunity to ask questions and receive an explanation regarding actions taken by the Police, remains the primary means by which complaints are ordinarily resolved. Where complaints are not satisfactorily resolved through FLR, they are subject to robust independent Page 42

Group 1 Crime encapsulates all forms of serious non-sexual Violent Crime and includes a range of diverse offences. During the reporting period there has been a decrease of 2.2% in Group 1 crimes. Group 1 Crime includes ‘Threats and Extortion’ with several instances during this period of individuals sharing intimate images of themselves in an online setting across a number of platforms and thereafter receiving threats such images will be shared with associates unless some form of payment is made. Many of these crimes emanate overseas and with increased time spent online we have seen a rise in this challenging crime to detect, adversely impacting upon the overall detection rate. We further recognise the extremely sensitive nature of such crimes and the need to protect and support victims. Common Assault has risen during this period by 17.4% against the 5 Year Average with detection rate of 71.4%. This is slightly above the 5 Year Average. Page 44
Page 45
OFFICIAL 9. OFFICIAL Serious Assaults have increased by 3 in comparison to the last year which is just under 4 crimes above the 5 Year Average. This presents as a 15.1% increase and there has also been a reduction in the detection rate from the previous year against the 5 Year Average. Robbery has decreased by 5 against the previous reporting period and although only 1 above the 5 Year Average is reflected as a rise of over 12%. Detection rates remain high and above 70% which is a 5% increase on last year to date. The increase in crimes has presented challenges but through ‘Operation PINE’ and our Divisional Violence Prevention Board, we continue to focus upon any commonality in victims, offenders and location to understand evolving crime patterns and thus implement preventative measures and direct resources accordingly. This methodology has resulted in Divisional and national resources supporting activity in the Moray area to proactively patrol and investigate occurrences of violence in Elgin, Forres, Buckie and Keith during the reporting period. This work, and the detailed investigation undertaken, provides assurance that we direct our resources to the correct areas at the correct times to prevent or otherwise detect such crimes and report those responsible. Partnership working remains an integral part of our strategy to tackle alcohol fuelled violence, promote a responsible drinking culture and provide support to the most vulnerable. This is embedded in the Moray Community Planning Partnership arrangements we actively participate in and specifically Local Outcome Improvement Plans (LOIPs) which seek to prevent and reduce harms associated with alcohol (and drug) misuse. We understand the impact of Anti-Social Behaviour upon communities in Moray. We are committed to preventative work with partners in Moray in an effort to address this through enforcement, education and diversion. Considerable work targeting ASB has been undertaken during the reporting period by Police with young people in our community. In addition to patrols within identified ‘hotspot’ areas Local Community Officers have led work with schools across Moray providing bespoke inputs on ASB, Vandalism, Violence, Substance Misuse, ‘Sex and the law’ and Hate Crime. Such work will continue with plans for further school based and evening diversionary activity being organised by local Officers into and through the next reporting period. It is however essential that our partners support and lead aspects of preventative and diversionary work which amongst other objectives the recently launched Moray ‘Community Safety Strategy’ provides a forum and basis for the coordination and delivery of. There is a decrease in reported Vandalism again the last reporting period although this is still slightly above the 5 Year Average reflected as a rise of 3%. Anti-Social Behaviour incidents have seen a significant decrease of 10% (141 incidents) during this reporting period. This provides some optimism and is anticipated to be a consequence of the preventative and targeted work already being undertaken by Officers. Page 45

There has been a slight increase in Theft by Housebreaking to commercial and private properties in Moray with 17 more victims than last year and 7.4 more compared to the 5 Year Average. Detection rates have decreased slightly and are being closely monitored as we look to enhance the intelligence picture and ensure we target the right people and patrol the right places, minimising the impact of such an invasive crime on victims. This period has also seen an increase in Motor Vehicle crime, up 15.2% against the 5 Year Average. However, detection rates are strong at 13.4% above the 5 Year Average. Theft of Motor Vehicles has seen an increase in recorded crimes (3 more than last year) and up 66.7% (12 crimes) compared to the 5 Year Average. A number of instances of such Thefts during this period can be attributed to the removal of motor cars by individuals from a familial setting without permission of the owner known to them. Encouragingly, this period has seen a reduction of 24.7% in Common Thefts across Moray compared to the 5 Year Average. This is positive given the early indications that this financial year would see national increases due to societal pressures and the figures from last year being within a time of COVID restrictions. We view these returns cautiously in view of the context and these crime types are carefully examined to determine any pattern that may arise. Locally based Crime Reduction Staff continue to support victims and issue preventative messaging across Moray. Their crucial role helps ensure our communities are aware of the measures they can take to reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim of acquisitive crime. Page 46

OFFICIAL 11. OFFICIAL Increased use of technology has resulted in anticipated rises in reported ‘Non-Contact’ Frauds and in particular, Cyber Enabled Frauds. The Divisional Cyber-Enabled Crime Team (DCECT), within the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), have responsibility for all investigative and preventative strategies in this area of criminality. Although acquisitive crime across Moray remains relatively low when compared with elsewhere, the area suffers from a small number of mobile criminals travelling into the area, often committing crimes in more rural and remote areas. We encourage communities to report incidents of suspicious activity to Police, CrimeStoppers and to sign up to ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ and ‘Rural Watch’ schemes. The ‘North East Partnership Against Rural Crime’ (NEPARC) is chaired by Moray Local Area Commander, Chief Inspector Simon Reid and targets a variety of issues including acquisitive and other criminality affecting our rural communities in Moray and across the North East. The 2023 – 2025 ‘NEPARC’ strategy will be formally launched in March 2023. This comprises key areas which the partnership of some 34 representatives and organisations will work collaboratively to target. Page 47

There have been 2 fatalities on Moray roads over the reporting period, which is comparable to last year and there were 5 people seriously injured, 6 less than last year. No children were killed or seriously injured. Any loss of any life or serious injury on our roads is tragic and we remain committed to influencing driver behaviour to improve Road Safety as one of our priorities. With an ageing population, people are remaining mobile longer and continue to drive and consequently we are seeing an increase in older casualties. Driver Engagement North aims to reduce casualties and collisions in the north of Scotland by engaging older drivers and their friends / families in an interactive workshop. This is a pilot project supported by funding from Transport Scotland’s Road Safety Framework Fund. The project makes use of interactive driving simulators to assess and highlight a participant's reactions, hazard awareness and any potential vulnerabilities. Operation CEDaR (Challenge, Educate, Detect and Reduce) remains the North East’s overarching Policing strategy to increase Road Safety and reduce Road Crime. Using a proactive, intelligence and date informed approach aligned to expressed community concerns, local Officers have responded to Road Safety issues with targeted activity, high visibility patrols and have successfully influenced driver behaviour through both education and enforcement. Such work is undertaken collaboratively with specialist Page 48

OFFICIAL 13. OFFICIAL colleagues from the North East Road Policing Unit (NERPU) based in Moray and in support of national Road Safety campaigns. We routinely engage and work collaboratively with Moray Council in respect of Road Safety matters that are brought to our attention and look forward to participating as a member of the proposed ‘Moray Community Road Safety Group’ under the auspices of the Moray Joint Community Council to support community and partnership led and delivered Road Safety activities when this group is established. We remained committed to the North East Road Safety Strategy Partnership, continuing to identify and target routes with significant collision histories, appropriately balancing high visibility and unmarked patrols, utilising enforcement and education in order to improve Road Safety and driver behaviour. Excess speed remains a factor attributed to collisions where death or serious injury occurs. We have deployed Officers and the North East Camera Safety Unit (NESCAMP) to priority routes in Moray to conduct ‘speed checks’ and have seen a positive impact with a significant reduction in detected speeding offences compared to last year. In addition, Drug Driving legislation implemented under section 5A of the Road Traffic Act 1988, continues to prove an excellent road safety tool, with an increase of 18.1% in recorded offences. Nationally motorcyclists continue to feature disproportionately in relation to road death collisions. Recognising the need to engage directly with motorcyclists, this year saw the return of the ‘Rider Refinement North’ training days in Moray to encourage responsible and safe riding. Our activity has been aligned to the Priority Focus Areas contained in the Scottish Government’s Road Safety Framework which sets out a vision for Scotland to have the best road safety performance in the world by 2030.

OFFICIAL 14. OFFICIAL Protecting People at Risk of Harm Indicator 5 Year Average Apr 2022 - Sept 2022 Apr 2021 - Sept 2021 Difference % Change 2022 v 5 Year Av Group 2 Crimes – Recorded9 119.0 189 155 +70.0 +58.8% Group 2 Crimes - Detection Rate 58.2% 43.4% 65.8% -14.8% Rape - Recorded 20.2 35 25 +14.8 +73.3% Rape - Detection Rate 58.4% 28.6% 76.0% -29.8% Indicator 5 Year Average Apr 2022 - Sept 2022 Apr 2021 - Sept 2021 Difference % Change 2022 v 2021 Domestic Abuse Incidents Reported N/A 422 457 -35 -7.7% Domestic Abuse related Crime Detection Rate N/A 62.5% 73.5% -11.0% Hate Crime - Recorded N/A 31 26 +5 +19.2% Hate Crime - Detection Rate N/A 71.0% 53.8% +17.2% 9 Group 2 Crimes of Indecency include Rape, Assault with intent to Rape, Indecent Assault, Sexual Assault, Prostitution related crime and others with an indecent element. During this reporting period, the Division has seen an increase in reported Group 2 crimes. In Moray, the rise was notable and has followed on from the previous year, with 34 more reported crimes. This equates to 58.8% more than the 5 Year Average. In relation to recorded Rape, 10 more crimes were reported this year, 73.3% higher than the 5 Year Average. It is important to note that 5 Year Average figures are impacted by lockdowns during the COVID pandemic which saw recorded Sexual offences and Rape decrease. Similar to previous years, we continue to see an increase in reported non-recent crimes which are often more complex or protracted and difficult to detect by virtue of timescales involved and lack of potential for forensic evidence which would otherwise support such enquiries. Communications related offences and use of social media to commit offences have also increased. By their very nature, such investigations can be protracted to ensure all available evidence is successfully obtained and enquiries progressed. An increase in reporting such crimes to the police indicates a level of public confidence in the local policing response. Additionally, child protection processes such as the Inter-Agency Referral Discussion (IRD) and the interviewing of children have robust quality assurance processes in place; the former having recently been strengthened as a result of work being led by North East Division with partners regarding the implementation of the Scottish Child Interview Model (SCIM) for children who have been victims of significant harm and abuse.

OFFICIAL 15. OFFICIAL In respect of Domestic Abuse incidents reported to the Police, this year has seen a slight decrease in reported incidents at by 7.7% compared to last year. The detection rate has similarly decreased but remains strong at 62.5%. To improve detection rates, a new toolkit has been developed for newly promoted supervisors. This assists management and ensures enquiries are progressed fully, consistently and timeously with all available evidential avenues considered. With the support of the Division’s Partnership Co-ordination Unit and Public Protection Unit, a divisional oversight process also continues to ensure all domestic incidents are reviewed daily and that those most vulnerable are supported and robust action is taken against those posing the greatest risk. With the majority of Domestic and Group 2 offences being recorded with female victims, we have established strong links to the Moray Violence Against Women and Girls Partnership with Officers participating in and delivering a number of events and briefings. We strongly support the ‘Equally Safe’ strategy and are proud of our role in actively delivering upon its aim to eradicate violence against women and girls to, “achieve a Scotland in which women and girls are safe to thrive, fulfilling their potential free from violence and abuse”. One aspect of work being led by Police with partners includes the development a multi-agency dataset and quality assurance framework to allow further scrutiny of local trends in all areas of violence against women. This ensures our Officers and partners’ practitioners are supported to provide effective interventions and support. The Division continues to be fully represented at other local, multi-agency and national Police Scotland forums focusing on this priority area. This includes other areas of Public Protection such as the Adult and Child Protection Committees and their various work streams and sub-committees. The Division’s lead in the Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) and Disclosure Scheme for Domestic Abuse Scotland (DSDAS) processes in particular highlights this. Both forums have seen a continued increase in referrals and partnership support being sought and managed for those most vulnerable and at risk from violence and abuse. We also continue to utilise the Multi-Agency Tasking and Co-ordinating (MATAC) to focus on high risk perpetrators with partners. The national ‘16 Days of Activism’ campaign was also fully supported and specifically, enforcement days were carried out by divisional Officers, from local policing and specialist units. Media messaging also continued to be driven forward in support of local and national campaigns, most notably the award winning ‘That Guy’ campaign challenging men’s attitudes and behaviour towards women. The area continues its strong performance in terms of Hate Crime. In conjunction with a range of partners we have continued awareness raising campaigns intended to support seldom heard communities to build confidence and overcome barriers to reporting such crimes. This work runs in conjunction with developing a Third Party Reporting Centres (TPRC) network following successful training with community groups in September 2022. The training upskills key individuals within partner organisations to recognise and support victims of crime and in turn, act as a conduit to our Division. 5 additional Hate Crimes have been recorded compared with the same period in the previous year. Our robust investigative strategies in support of victims, has seen our detection rate rise to 71.0%. Page 51

Although the monetary value of assets seized across the North East during the quarter has reduced compared to this period last year, it is noticeable that in excess of £36,600 has been removed from criminals. With live cases continuing, this figure is likely to increase and will be reported upon in the next reporting period. The number of Drug Possession Offences have increased by 21% in comparison with the 5 Year Average. The number of Drug Supply Offences have increased in comparison with this time last year and remained steady with the 5 Year Average. A number of persons across Moray from English based Organised Crime Groups (OCG’s), were reported to COPFS for being involved in the sale and supply of drugs, along with other associated crimes and offences during this reporting period. Using the ‘4Ds’ (DETECT-DISRUPT-DETER-DIVERT) methodology, some successes have been seen both in terms of enforcement and our work with key partners to support and signposting those linked to Organised Crime who have been assessed as vulnerable and in need of intervention. We recognise tackling substance use and the harms these cause is part of our duty toward ensuring the safety and wellbeing of people within our community. Access to addiction services, poverty and mental health vulnerabilities can be impacted by the cost of living and exacerbate drug related harms. Serious Organised Crime (SOC) Interventions have developed strong links with rehabilitation and addiction groups within Moray. Intervention support informed by local community Officer activity and joint visits with partners ensures diversion from Cuckooing can be in place for those at a vulnerable stage in their recovery. During August 2022 we delivered the first ‘Operation Protector’ days of action across Moray. This two day joint partnership operation between Police Scotland, Arrows, Moray Council, Circles Advocacy and NHS Grampian used innovative tactics to target those involved in SOC related activity to disrupt their criminal behaviour and to identify and support individuals vulnerable to the influence of OCG’s. This was extremely successful with a number of individuals charged with crimes and offences and several vulnerable people were brought ‘into service’ with partners. ‘Operation Protector’ has since been run in Moray in November 2022 with similar success.

OFFICIAL 17. OFFICIAL Drug Deaths decreased by 3 compared to the previous year. We continue to work closely with partners and support services to better understand the causes of drug deaths and to signpost vulnerable individuals earlier to referral pathways to support them through addiction and dependency as soon as possible. However, the stigmatisation of this group leads to more drug related harms and prevents progress in almost all areas of life including addressing their drug problem and supporting their families and friends. In August 2022 and following a successful pilot, Police Scotland commenced the national roll out of personally issued ‘Naloxone’ to all operational Officers to the rank of Inspector. This approach forms part of the organisations public health approach toward addressing drug death rates. A number of Officers now routinely carry Naloxone in Moray with wider roll out continuing into 2023 and all probationary Officers now being trained in its use at the Police College during initial training.

OFFICIAL 18. OFFICIAL Counter Terrorism and Domestic Extremism The North East CONTEST Multi-Agency Board and associated sub-groups continue to deliver the UK National CONTEST strategy across the North East of Scotland. The Prevent, Pursue, Protect and Prepare (4P’s) principles of CONTEST are the continued focus of the strategy which aims to reduce the risks from terrorism. The role of all partners within the North East Division CONTEST Multi-Agency Board is to ensure all strands of the CONTEST ‘4P’ framework are proactively and proportionately delivered in a local context and aligned to the UK National Threat Level as determined by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC). Within Moray a cadre of Local CONTEST Liaison Officers, drawn from Community Policing Teams, receive enhanced training and are tasked with forging and maintaining strong links with relevant sites and venues. During the reporting period activity has taken place through the delivery of joint briefing and familiarisation events to local and specialist Officers at RAF Lossiemouth. Within a wider resilience planning context during the reporting period we have supported and jointly delivered multi-agency live play and table top exercises simulating aircraft incidents on and off station and exercised our joint Counter Terrorism response plans for the site. Such activity is not informed by any specific threat or risk to the site but reflects positively the preparedness of both the Royal Air Force and Police Scotland and insurance as to the operational competence of our Staff and readiness of our joint plans. Such work will continue into the next reporting period. Initial communication has been provided to CONTEST Multi Agency Boards across Scotland by the UK and Scottish Governments reporting on the findings from the recent Protect Duty Consultation. This contains details of policy elements and definition of ‘Publicly Accessible Locations’ (PALs) which will form the basis of the upcoming Protect Duty Bill known as ‘Martyn’s Law’. This will place a legislative requirement upon organisations in respect of security considerations at any venue, ‘to which the public has access on payment or otherwise’. This arose as part of the wider response and review following the Manchester Arena attack in 2017. It is anticipated implementation of ‘Martyn’s Law’ will have significant implications for organisations with responsibility for PALs. Page 54
