530. DECISIONS REQUIRED

Thematic Discussion: Partnerships and Collaboration and associated strategic implications

The Executive Board considered the current position and opportunities surrounding a range of partnership and collaborative joint working. As a consideration of future direction and potential implications for investment strategies in the future.

A range of partnership and collaborative activity was in place. This was acknowledged within recent HMIC Valuing the Police 4 Inspection which identified an assessment for North Yorkshire of good.

This acknowledged the work undertaken to ensure sustainable future delivery. Executive Board members considered future opportunities in support of the Police and Crime Plan and the context of moving to deliver services in the future from reducing resources.

It was agreed that the positive partnership working that had already been developed would continue with an enhanced emphasis on delivering where possible through shared facilities and co-location as was already successful with a range of partners including Fire Service, National Parks etc. The potential opportunity through exploring wider operational joint working and the effect on existing models of delivery identified through the Operational Policing Model were explored.
