1 Public Counter Service Review N Division Highland & Islands Public Briefing Paper Version 1 22/10/2013

2

3 Purpose The purpose of this briefing paper is to provide information on the proposals for Public Counter Service Provision within Divisions across Scotland. The review seeks to provide a consistency of service across Scotland with accessible public counters, focusing police officers in communities while recognising the current financial challenges facing Police Scotland. Overview Highland and Islands The Highland and Islands Division is the most northerly in the UK and covers a large geographical area. The Division has eight territorial command areas which have their own dedicated Area Commander who is responsible for the daily policing functions in that area. Each area is served by a number of community policing teams. These teams are built around the needs of the local communities and are responsible for responding to local calls and looking for long term solutions to key issues. Statistical Analysis Method A two week public counter demand survey was completed in March 2010 by Northern Constabulary as part of an internal review. The survey, to record footfall, included 13 of the 21 police stations within the force area where there was staffed public counter provision. The analysis in this report differs from other divisions in that the type of enquiry made was not recorded. Similarly there are no figures available to analyse police based demand with which to make comparison against the demand from the public. Data Capture There were a total of 2666 submissions from these stations. The volume of total demand at all stations across the division is shown in figure 1 whereas figure 2 shows total demands against time and gives an indication as to peak demand times. 1

4 Highland and Islands Demand Activity No. of Visits Stornoway Portree Ft. William Alness Dingwall Kirkwall Lerwick Thurso Dornoch Wick Aviemore Nairn Inverness Figure 1: Counter activity by station Following a review of station opening hours implemented on 1 April 2013 only Inverness remains with 24hr front counter provision. It was noted that the above figures appear to be disproportionately high compared with other areas. Inverness has a population 3.4 times greater than that of Orkney yet counter demand was almost the same. Counter Demand - All Stations No. of Visits :00 01:00 02:00 03:00 04:00 05:00 06:00 07:00 08:00 09:00 10:00 11:00 12:00 Hour of Day Figure 2: Counter demand across all stations 13:00 14:00 15:00 16:00 17:00 18:00 19:00 20:00 21:00 22:00 23:00 Figure 2 demonstrates that across the division in general, there is little requirement for staffed counter provision between the hours of 02:00 to 07:00hrs. 2

5 Where the demand data for the division could not be recreated in this format as in the case for this paper, a picture for the trend across Scotland has been provided as a useful indicator. Scottish Trend Activity Ratio 7% Ancillary Demand Core Public Counter Demand 93% Figure 3: Percentage of public counter demands across Scotland. Figure 3 illustrates that on average seven percent, or 1 in 14 demands dealt with by station assistant staff related to core functions. Rationale for Proposed Structure The following provides some of the key findings in relation to those stations within the Highland & Islands area where it is proposed that the public counter facility could be revised further. This analysis takes cognisance of the review and subsequent alterations made to station opening times and staffing that took effect on 1 April In terms of counter demand alone, it can be seen that there is little to justify extending station opening times beyond those currently in place. To achieve a consistent model across Scotland, defined categories of station opening hours have been developed which are based on work undertaken in the former Strathclyde and Grampian force areas. Category A B C D E Hours 24/ hrs 7 days per week hrs 7 days per week Appendix B provides key messages underpinning this review hrs Monday to Friday Appendix C provides further evidence relating to alternative methods of contact. Shared service or No full time provision 3

6 It is recognised that a number of shared services have been developed over recent years. Police Scotland welcome this development and are keen to engage with local authorities, partner organisations in the public sector or third sector to further develop this concept and operational service delivery model. In addition some private enterprises have expressed an interest in developing police drop in or surgery type functions that provide easy access on a regular basis to police facilities within their commercial environment. Police Scotland are keen to explore these opportunities and would welcome contact to local command teams in the relevant divisions or to the Review Team at publiccounterreview@scotland.pnn.police.uk Divisional Proposals The following provides a synopsis of the proposed outcomes for each station within the division and a rationale where a change of opening hours is recommended based on both footfall and professional knowledge: Aviemore Aviemore station is currently open from 0800 to 2000hrs, 7 days per week. These working hours were implemented in 2012 however, the demand data from prior to this point indicates of the 252 visits between those times, 48 (19%) were made between 2000hrs and midnight. Suggesting a demand outwith the current opening hours that should be met. The proposal for Aviemore is to be reclassified as a category B station i.e midnight, 7 days a week. Dingwall Dingwall station is currently open from 0800 to 2000hrs, 7 days per week. Footfall data indicates of the 174 visits between those times, 4 (2%) were made between 2000hrs and midnight. The proposal for Dingwall is to be reclassified as a category C station i.e , 7 days a week. However, in order to provide resilience for additional demands during normal working hours the proposal goes further to recommend that an additional member of staff works on a category D shift pattern i.e hrs, Monday to Friday. Fort William Fort William station is currently open from 0800 to 2000hrs, 7 days per week. These working hours were implemented in 2012 however, the demand data from prior to this point indicates of the 112 visits between those times, 26 (23%) were made between 2000hrs and midnight. The proposal for Fort William is to be reclassified as a category B station i.e midnight, 7 days a week. 4

7 Kirkwall Kirkwall station is currently open from 0800 to 2000hrs, 7 days per week. These working hours were implemented in 2012 however, the demand data from prior to this point indicates of the 411 visits between those times, 24 (6%) were made between 2000hrs and midnight. Kirkwall recorded the second highest number of visits marginally behind Inverness (447). Compared to the other stations surveyed and considering population and geography this appears abnormally high thus sustaining the need for a service as proposed. The proposal for Kirkwall is to be reclassified as a category B station i.e midnight, 7 days a week. Lerwick Lerwick station is currently open from 0800 to 2000hrs, 7 days per week. These working hours were implemented in 2012 however, the demand data from prior to this point indicates of the 153 visits between those times, 12 (8%) were made between 2000hrs and midnight. The proposal for Lerwick is to be reclassified as a category B station i.e midnight, 7 days a week. Nairn Nairn station is currently open from 0800 to 2000hrs, 7 days per week. These working hours were implemented in 2012 however, the demand data from prior to this point indicates of the 119 visits between those times, 23 (19%) were made between 2000hrs and midnight. There is significant development planned in Nairn (as referenced in the local factors and considerations section) which may impact upon the future opening hours of the police station and justifies the proposed opening hours. The proposal for Nairn is to be reclassified as a category B station i.e midnight, 7 days a week. Stornoway Stornoway station is currently open from 0800 to 2000hrs, 7 days per week. These working hours were implemented in 2012 however, the demand data from prior to this point indicates of the data indicates of the 114 visits between those times, 22 (19%) were made between 2000hrs and midnight. The proposal for Stornoway is to be reclassified as a category B station i.e midnight, 7 days a week. 5

8 Wick Wick station is currently open from 0800 to 2000hrs, 7 days per week. Demand data indicates of the 180 visits between those times. The proposal for Wick is to be reclassified as a category C station i.e hrs, 7 days a week. Thurso Thurso station is a shared service which is open from hrs, 7 days per week. No data is available to provide analysis however it is proposed that it is reclassified as a category C station i.e hrs, 7 days a week. Tain, Kyle of Lochalsh, Alness, Portree No change to current hours. Ullapool, Benbecula No data available to provide analysis. It is proposed that on the basis of local professional knowledge, both Ullapool and Benbecula is classified category E (no full time provision). Mallaig No data available to provide analysis however due to professional knowledge and location it is proposed that Mallaig is classified category E (no full time provision). Dornoch Dornoch currently has opening hours between hrs, Monday to Friday. No data is available to provide analysis. The police station at Tain, and the shared service operating at Golspie provide access to the police within a reasonable distance, therefore it is proposed that Dornoch has no public counter provision. Glencoe and Stromness There was no footfall data available. Both stations are currently open for half a day and based on professional local knowledge it is proposed to have no public counter provision. 6

9 Local Factors and Considerations Consideration has been given on how the proposed reduction or removal of counter provision may impact on counter service at other locations or area service centres. Although not specifically quantified, the demand levels involved are generally small and unlikely to impact on the proposed service provision. In formulating a proposal for public counters that will be consistent across Scotland, the review has taken into account the appropriate resource levels for staff for the demand from the public in each local area in addition to the variety of alternative contact/reporting methods now available. There are number stations which are seasonally affected due to the influx of visitors during the holiday and winter snow sports period. Moray Estate plans to build a new-town on the A96 corridor at Tornagrain, which received planning consent in A new settlement in this area was already part of Highland Council s Local Development Plan. Phase 1 building is expected to commence this year with the first homes being available in The town is eventually expected to comprise of 5000 homes, a population of 12,500, with associated services including a secondary school and a number of primary schools. The development will grow over a period of 30 to 40 years but the population is expected grow sharply in coming years. The location is approximately equidistant between Inverness and Nairn, about 8 miles from each. 7

11 Demand Descriptors Appendix A The following list of descriptors was used to categorise the main functions carried out by station assistant/front counter staff. These were split into core public counter and ancillary categories and were applied where possible to the data gathered from any demand analysis carried out. Core public counter demands were defined as those processes in general which require face-to-face interaction or which are subject to legal or procedural requirements that have to be completed at a police station. Ancillary demands were defined as all other functions that can be completed by other means or without the need for a visit to a police public counter. Any custody related activity has been filtered out from public counter demands where possible. Ancillary Demands Access to premises Admin duties Appointment CHS/PNC check Complaint against police Court admin Custody (property handed in) Custody enquiry Delivery/Collection General enquiry (non-police matter) General enquiry (police matter) Lost property (inc. dogs) Report crime/vehicle accident Request for police officer STORM (create/update incident) Warrant/fine enquiry Warrant (surrender) Core Public Counter Demands Bail (sign in/register) Data Protection/FOI requests Firearms (licensing/application/surrender) Found property (inc. dogs) HORT (check/record) Immigration (register/sign in) REGSO (register/sign in) Vehicle seizure/s165 enquiry i

12 Key Messages Appendix B 1. Policing continues to face unprecedented financial challenges over the coming months and years with a significant reduction in budget and a requirement to find savings and provide best value for public services 2. Police Scotland has maximised resources into frontline policing and specialist policing resources, which has allowed the Force to maintain Police Officer numbers at the highest possible level and continue to provide visible, localised policing services across Scotland focused on keeping people safe. 3. The way in which the public contact the police has changed significantly with the number of people actually using public counters falling dramatically as other methods of contact have become more popular. A number of these alternative methods, which are representative of the needs of a modern society, allow Police Scotland to maximise the number of police officers on the street at any one time and therefore improve the safety and wellbeing of people, places and communities in Scotland. 4. The implementation of the single non-emergency number (101) will allow for changes to be made to call handling and service delivery across Scotland and will provide a consistency of service. Requests for police service will be provided with an appropriate police response ranging from telephone advice to local officer deployment. As shown by the graph below, the volume of calls to the 101 number has risen consistently since being introduced and for the week ending 7 th July 2013 the 101 number accounted for 46.3% of non emergency calls made in Scotland. Weekly 101 Call Volume 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5, Week Weekly increase in volume of 101 calls since it was introduced on 18/02/ Police Scotland use social media to circulate the latest news, events and information to the public via Twitter (@policescotland) and Facebook ( 6. Hate crime incidents and domestic abuse incidents can now be reported online via the official Police Scotland website, or by visiting a third Party Reporting Centre. ii

13 7. In some areas police surgeries and diary appointments can be arranged and we will continue to utilise our mobile police stations, where available, for this purpose. 8. Information regarding crime can be passed to Crimestoppers on or through an Anonymous Online Form - both of these routes are completely anonymous and available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. 9. Changes to front counter services are designed to prioritise stations where there is a larger demand, work more effectively in partnership and potentially on partners premises and meet community needs in a more cost efficient manner. 10. Any changes to public counter opening hours will be publicised in order to keep the local communities fully informed. 11. Although most police station public counters will be closed overnight, local officers will still be working out of the stations and actively patrolling communities. Members of the public are asked to make routine enquiries during reception open hours. Officers will be available 24/7 if they are required. An analogy is a doctor s surgery The doctor s surgery may only be open for certain hours, but you can always access medical advice, a doctor or nurse, or emergency care, 24/7, if needed. Well trained and well equipped officers will continue to work closely with local communities and allow the force to maintain current levels of visibility and engagement. 12. Police Scotland remains committed to a community model of policing which understands the needs of its communities across the country and seeks to maintain the highest levels of frontline policing, and give the best possible service within the available funding. Our review is on the basis that officers will not routinely backfill public counter positions. 13. The service remains committed to there being no compulsory redundancies and any reduction in staff numbers will be through voluntary redundancy and early retirement which will be achieved through full consultation with staff and union representatives. 14. While there might be a reduction in the number of public counters this does not mean that police stations will close. Police officers will continue to work within these communities and keep people safe. iii

14 Alternative Contact Methods Appendix C Survey Results As part of the public counter survey carried out in 2011 by Lothian and Borders Police, a total of 1233 callers to the public counter were asked: If this police station had not been open when you arrived, which of the following would you have considered as an alternative method to contact the police? The table below shows the total figures for the separate surveys carried out at stations in the Lothians and Scottish Borders area (excl Edinburgh). The majority of those who answered other indicated they would make a return visit to the same station at another time. While this is the second most popular response, an online survey carried out by Lothian and Borders Police around the same time found that of 354 responses, only 8% (25) expressed a preference to report a crime at a police station, 4% (12) would prefer to report a disurbance/nuisance and 3% (11) would prefer to report a road accident at a police station. The results of the survey are reinforced by a separate analysis of crime reporting within the legacy Lothian and Borders area which confirmed the following percentages of crime reported at police stations compared to other methods: (2008/09 9.6%, 2009/10 8.3%, 2010/11 8.9%, 2011/12 9.1%). The counter survey in general, indicated a willingness by the public to use alternative methods of contact with the police when the counter is not available. However, in some instances the results suggested a lack of awareness of the various methods available. Since this survey was undertaken, clear guidance for emergency and non-emergency matters have been developed and published. iv
