• An overview of the report was provided.
• In response to a question about what the data on assault reporting was telling us, it was explained that there have been a number of reductions in the numbers of reporting and this was highlighted through the number of reports through your Safety Matters compared to Crime Reports. The Committee were clear to reinforce that no level of officer assault was acceptable but agreed this was important data to be used by divisions to highlight the need for robust reporting of assaults.
• The Committee look forward to the refreshed reporting which will provide a more holistic view.
