– Key performance measures of the Chief Constable and Thames Valley Police: crimes reported, attended, processed with outputs and a breakdown into crime types;
– Referrals to Professional Standards Department from the public and from within force and outcomes; recruitment/resignations/dismissals etc.
What benchmarking reports against other forces are in existence?		The opportunity to ask questions will be given at the familiarisation event being held by TVP and OPCC.
There are regular Performance and Accountability meetings with TVP, which the elected PCC chairs and asks pertinent questions about Force performance. We do also monitor performance against other Forces. Benchmarking data can be found via Police.uk.
At the familiarisation event, there will be an outline of the approach to scrutiny both from an OPCC and an independent scrutiny perspective. Page 10 of the briefing pack includes information on the work of the Joint Independent Audit committee who also provide independent scrutiny on behalf of the PCC and Chief Constable.
The briefing pack follows national guidance and aims to be as helpful as possible in the information provided, however, for ease of reference here is a link to the TVP Performance and Accountability Meeting April 2024. There are also detailed statistics published on the TVP website.

Question from candidate – I was surprised about Martin’s piece on the treasury function when he mentioned losses as the Iceland banks.  As I recall that was some way back.  What were the losses and when?
 
A: Please see below an extract from the 2013/14 Statement of Accounts
 
On 4th February 2014 the PCC sold its remaining deposit in the Icelandic Bank, Landsbanki Islands (LBI) which went into receivership in October 2008. The claim was sold through a competitive auction process. The price at which the claim was sold was based on a reserve price set by the PCC on the basis of legal advice received from Bevan Brittan, financial advice procured by the LGA and the PCC’s own analysis of the financial position. The proceeds of the sale were paid in cash in Pounds Sterling. The sale means that the PCC has now recovered £4.8m (or 96%) of the £5 million that was originally deposited with LBI in 2008. The sale of our claim represents a clean break. The PCC for Thames Valley is no longer a creditor of LBI.

Question from Candidate – What is the number of police per head of population compared to 2010? It is all very well saying that there are 600 more police officers, more than ever before, while in fact the population has increased much more than the rise in police officers, meaning there are fewer police officers per head of population and so having to work harder. Given the police is allocated funds on population, I would have thought this would have been fairly easy to work out.
 
A: Here is a link to how the police funding formula works, which is not as simple as the police being funded per head of population, which is a consistent campaigning point for all PCCs nationally to local government Provisional police grant report: 2022 to 2023 (England and Wales)¸ and ask you can see it is not as simple as being funded as a direct result of population size.
