Police Data
A key role of PCC Mr Scott is to hold the Chief Constable to account for delivery of policing in Kent.
Kent Police publishes a range of datasets on its website, and other performance data can be accessed below.
Police.uk
The website Police.uk publishes data on a range of performance metrics.
This includes 999 call performance for all police forces across the United Kingdom on a monthly basis. The data is primarily divided into the following categories:
- Percentage of calls answered in under 10 seconds
- Percentage of calls answered in 10 to under 60 seconds
- Percentage of calls answered at 60 seconds or longer
Data is also provided for the following indicators: total calls per month, average answer time in seconds (per month), median answer time (in seconds) and number of calls answered in under 10 seconds, between 10 to under 60 seconds and over 60 seconds.
The data can be viewed here.

National Crime and Policing Measures
As part of the national Beating Crime Plan, the Home Office developed National Crime and Policing Measures (NCPM) under six priority areas which have accompanying metrics to help focus effort on key policing priorities, allow performance to be measured and help to demonstrate value for money in policing.
The six key priorities of the NCPM are:
- Reduce neighbourhood crime
- Reduce serious violence
- Disrupt drugs supply and county lines
- Reduce murder and other homicides
- Tackle cyber-crime
- Improve satisfaction among victims (with a focus on victims of domestic abuse).
As part of the Specified Information Order every Police and Crime Commissioner is legally required to publish performance updates on these measures.
Current and previous NCPM quarterly updates provided by Kent Police can be viewed below.
