4 1 Policy Section 1.1 Statement of Intent Aim and Rationale This policy document sets out the key principles applying to investigations and a framework to support the conduct of such investigations, enabling Dorset Police to deliver a more professional, ethical and effective investigation capability. It includes an overview of the investigation model and associated processes at each investigation stage and provides guidance to support managers in the deployment of resources to all categories of investigation. To ensure that crime recording procedures comply with the National Crime Recording Standards and the Home Office Counting Rules for recorded crimes. To provide clear guidance to all employees on the procedures to be adopted ensuring consistent and effective investigation recording To ensure that the Dorset Police have effective crime management systems and policies in place to support the investigation process. Dorset Police is committed to recording crime in accordance with the Home Office Counting Rules and the aims and principles of NCRS and NSIR in an accurate, consistent and ethical way. It is the aim of the Dorset Police to establish from every victim what service they would like from their contact with us. The initial contact and primary investigation should establish the expectations and needs of the victim and witnesses and our subsequent provision of service should reflect this. 1.2 Police Mission Our Mission for policing is: To make communities safer by upholding the law fairly and firmly; preventing crime and antisocial behaviour; keeping the peace; protecting and reassuring communities; investigating crime and bringing offenders to justice. This mission is set nationally and adopted locally by Dorset Police. Code of Ethics The Code of Ethics underpins every day policy, procedures, decision and action in policing today. The Code of Ethics is an everyday business consideration. This document has been developed with the Code of Ethics at the heart ensuring consideration of the nine Policing principles and the 10 standards of professional behaviour. Monitoring is carried out through the Equality Impact Assessment process which has been designed to specifically include the Code of Ethics. National Decision Model The National Decision Model (NDM) is the primary decision-making model used in Dorset Police. The NDM is inherently flexible and is applied to the development and review of all policy, procedure, strategy, project, plans or guidance. Understanding, using and measuring the NDM ensures that we are able to make ethical (see Code of Ethics), proportionate and defensible decisions in relation to policy, procedure, strategy, project, plans or guidance. 1

5 1.3 People, Confidence and Equality Throughout history policing has been most effective when the community and the police work together, helping each other to reduce crime and fear of crime. Our priorities have been based on today s risks and from what our communities have told us are areas of concern. This document seeks to achieve the priority of increasing the public satisfaction in the delivery of policing in Dorset. This document also recognises that some people will be part of many communities defined by different characteristics. It is probable that all people share common needs and expectations whilst at the same time everyone is different. Consultation and engagement has identified a common need and expectation for communities in Dorset to be:- Listened to Have their needs understood Have their expectations met where possible Be kept informed 2 Standards 2.1 Legal Basis This document has been drafted in accordance with the principles set out in the Core Investigative Doctrine and reflects the National Occupational Standards (NOS) for investigation developed by Skills for Justice to ensure that the highest standards of investigation are achieved enabling the provision of a quality of service to the victims of all investigations, including criminal and non-criminal allegations and maximising potential for crime detection or in achieving other successful outcomes and resolutions. Dorset Police have a legal duty under the Police Act 1996 to provide notifiable crime figures to the Home Office for the Annual data return (ADR). The following list details relevant legislation:- Code G Police and Crime Evidence Act (PACE) 1984 Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 Human Rights Act 1984 Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 Police Act
