Background
Between 28 September and 19 November 2023, the Contact Engagement & Resolution Project piloted the newly developed Proportionate Response to Crime (PRTC) process within North East Division.
During the pilot, incidents with low associated threat, harm, risk or vulnerability were assessed for investigative opportunities whilst crime reports were obtained via telephone by Contact Command and Control (C3) Division. Where no proportionate lines of enquiry were identified, crime reports were sent to North East Division with a recommendation that they were directly filed.
On 12 March 2024, the pilot evaluation report was presented to the SPA Policing Performance Committee. ACC Bond updated the Committee that the Force Executive had approved the recommendation to roll the process out across the rest of the organisation.
On 21 March 2024, the decision to roll out PRTC was discussed at the SPA Board Meeting, with the request that an update on the phased roll out and evaluation be provided to the Policing Performance Committee.
1.5 On 1 April 2024, the phased roll out of PRTC was approved as follows:
North Command – 01/05/2024
East Command – 27/05/2024
West Command – 24/06/2024
