§ Norman BakerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information the Standards Unit has requested from(a) police forces and (b) basic command units within police forces; and if he will make a statement. [61179]
§ Mr. John Denham[holding answer 13 June 2002]: Following discussions between the Home Office, including the Police Standards Unit (PSU), and the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO), the police service have provided data on recorded crime and detections at force and Basic Command Unit (BCU) level on a monthly basis from 1 April this year. To serve as a basis for comparison of performance against previous
1497Wperiods and the monitoring of trends, the Police Standards Unit has also asked that forces submit backdated monthly data for 2000–01 and 2001–02.
PSU have also contributed to the work of the Home Office's Street Crime Action Team (SCAT). As part of their monitoring role. SCAT require weekly performance indication from BCUs in 10 urban forces on levels of robbery, snatch theft, car-jacking and criminal firearms offences.
PSU have of course been in contact with a wide range of forces and BCUs over the past year as part of its overall programme of work.
