Constabulary launches Operating Model
Sue visits flood-hit residents Since the flooding began Sue Mountstevens has been committed to visiting the residents that are coping with life in the flood-hit areas. Sue has made several visits to the Somerset Levels affected by the flooding including Muchelney, Thorney, Fordgate and Moorland and has also visited the silver control centre in Taunton.
Welcome to the second edition of my newsletter. I have many aspirations for 2014 which I am sure you would share. I want to see crime continue to fall, particularly burglary, domestic and sexual violence and the impact of antisocial behaviour in our local communities to reduce. I am also looking forward to the changes that are underway in the Constabulary which will see a better service for local people ensuring that resources are put in the places that need it most.
Following her visit to Muchelney and Thorney Sue said: “I have nothing but praise for the farmers and tractor drivers who are helping villagers and school children to get about in the flooding. Residents are really pulling together and looking out for one another.
The opening of three new custody centres will ensure the right people are in the right place at the right time. They will enable money to be saved on buildings which means less impact on police officer and staff numbers.
“There is a huge demand for the boats going back and forth from Muchelney and the situation could be better. The help of special fire and rescue vehicles which will be more convenient for residents will hopefully take some of the pressure off the boat service.
However it does not mean that we will be withdrawing from local communities. Wherever a police station closes a base within the heart of the community will replace it.
“Hearing from residents helped the police to continue to make sure people are getting the help they need and allowed me to hear first-hand about their plight and what support I can give.”
Sue has since joined councils in Somerset to ensure communities who have been affected by the flooding receive council tax relief. The Commissioner is planning to set aside approximately £22,000 towards the council tax bills of those whose lives have been changed by the flooding.
Later this year, when we open our Victims Care Centre, I hope that the voice of victims will be heard at the heart of the Criminal Justice Service.

Road Safety Summit People in Bristol were encouraged to have their say on road safety when the very first Road Safety Summit came to town. Commuters and residents were invited to put their questions to Commissioner Sue Mountstevens, Bristol Mayor George Ferguson and Chief Constable Nick Gargan. Sue said: “Residents have spoken to me regarding a variety of road safety concerns and the summit enabled us to come together to discuss these issues and raise awareness amongst road users.”
Mayor George Ferguson who announced that speed cameras in Bristol will be switched back on said: “This summit will help us review our policies to ensure we have the right designs and procedures in place and are doing enough to reduce speeds and increase the visibility and awareness of vulnerable road users.” The event saw over 100 people attend and many more tune in online to learn more about the work of the police and council in relation

Sue supports powerful campaign… …Challenging views about rape, sexual assault and domestic abuse Sue Mountstevens has funded and helped launch a powerful publicity campaign to increase awareness of violence against women and children. The objective of the campaign is to challenge the perception that women are often to blame for being raped, sexually assaulted and domestically abused. The ‘No Excuse’ campaign, which confronts the myths offenders use to justify their actions, is the creation of Safer Bristol following successful funding from the community safety grant. The first phase of the campaign, This is not an excuse to rape me, was launched in November 2013 to national and international acclaim. The second phase, launched in March 2014 is This is not an excuse to abuse me.
d domestic “Rape, sexual assault an seriously y abuse is taken extremel t and I se across Avon and Somer will be they want victims to know to report. believed if they choose
Following its initial success, Sue has further funded work to make the campaign Avon and Somerset wide with the police and local authorities assisting in spreading the word. Both phases of the campaign will feature on bus stops, billboards, posters, social media and radio adverts. The messages feature some of the myths that people use to make excuses and challenges those myths as entirely untrue. The key messages for This is not an excuse to rape me are that there are NO excuses for rape and the victim is never to blame: • Whatever they were wearing • However much they’ve had to drink
• Even if they’ve said yes to other sexual activities • And that no one has a ‘right’ to sex just because they’re married or in a couple. Phase two of the campaign This is not an excuse to abuse me features the following key messages busting those myths: • “The kids are upstairs, they don’t know it’s happening” • “It wasn’t my fault, I was drunk” • “It’s not abuse, I never laid a finger on them” • “She was asking for it” It is estimated that 3,894 women and girls aged 16-59 have been a victim of sexual assault in the past year. In terms of the offences reported to the police, 834 sexual offences were reported in 2012/13, 56% (467) of which were of a serious nature. Sue Mountstevens said: “Rape, sexual assault and domestic abuse is taken extremely seriously across Avon and Somerset and I want victims to know they will be believed if they chose to report. For me, a crucial step in tackling any of these vile crimes is to give confidence to victims to come forward and seek justice.” To find out more about the campaign visit www.thisisnotanexcuse.org.uk How to get help: Anyone in immediate danger should ring 999 or contact Somerset and Avon Rape and Sexual Support on 0808 801 0456, www.sarsas.org.uk.

One Billion Rising for Justice One Billion Rising for Justice is a call to women, men and young people around the world to gather together and stand up against violence against women and children – one of Commissioner Sue Mountstevens’ priorities.
On Friday, February 14, 2014, Sue invited officers and staff of Avon and Somerset Constabulary to join her and special guest Paulina Gillespie from Heart Radio for a Zumba session to mark the day. Over 50 people attended and generously donated £3, all of the money which will go towards supplies and gifts for local women’s refuges across Avon and Somerset.

Police and Crime Panel back PCC budget proposals
This year the PCC has developed nine local Police and Crime Plans, one for each local authority area.
The Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Panel has agreed with Sue’s proposal for a rise in the policing part of the council tax of £3.34 (1.99%) a year for the average (band D) household in Avon and Somerset. PCC Sue Mountstevens said: “The Panel’s agreement with my proposal to increase the policing part of the council tax means the average 17 2014-6p Planor and Crime household will pay an additional £3.34Policeper year per week.

The Plan’s priority areas will continue to include reducing anti-social behaviour, tackling Police and Crime Plan 2014-17 Plan 2014-17 Police and Crimeand burglary domestic and SUPPORTING YOU TO TO YOU G BE SAFE AND FEEL SAFE SUPPORTIN FEEL SAFE particularly towards women and children BE SAFE AND sexual violence and ensuring victims are at the heart of the criminal justice system. However after working with the Constabulary, local authorities and wider partners the Plans and local policing will be even more tailored for your local area.
NEWS IN BRIEF Ambitious plans for Victims Four young people from Youth Opinions, Bristol and Somerset UK Youth Parliament Advisory Group spent the day shadowing the PCC, sitting in on a meeting with the Chief constable and working with the PCC’s team helping to deliver the Police and Crime Plan priorities.
This year will see Sue launch her ambitious plans for transforming services for victims as she works together with the Constabulary, Local Criminal Justice Board and wider partners.
Amy Hurst, Youth Champion for Sue said: “Takeover Day will be the first of many opportunities to work with young people directly, involving them in the PCC role in a meaningful way, developing ideas alongside them and ensuring that their views are truly reflected in the work we do.”
The new victim services programme will have the leadership of a new senior officer – Natalie Steadman, who will co-ordinate the police, probation and other agencies across the criminal justice system towards a truly integrated approach. Also, following an extensive review and lots of listening to victims Sue will look to set up a Victim Care Centre for victims of crime to get help, advice and support.
Regional Collaboration
Police forces in the South West have agreed to pursue a new streamlined and cost-effective regional forensic services collaboration, after it was signed off at the regional meeting of Police and Crime Commissioner’s and Chief Constables. The meeting also saw the five South West PCCs commit themselves to the new College of Policing Code of Ethics which would see every police officer and staff abide to a ‘Hippocratic Oath’ similar to those taken by doctors. Last year, regional collaboration also saw South West PCCs and Chief Constables sign contracts on Tri Force Specialist Operations and Special Branch Collaboration.
e “Takeover Day will be th es first of many opportuniti to work with young people directly…”
More recently the PCCs have welcomed Government funding totalling around £2 million for innovative projects. Three joint bids were submitted and received funding including: 1. Regional forensic services collaboration which received £880,000 contribution from the Home Office. 2. Command and control software for tri-force specialist operations received £300,000 in 2013/14 from the Home Office and approval of £150,000 for 2014/15. 3. £994,000 has been awarded for transforming the use and storage of digital imaging evidence.
A word from . . . As the Violence Against Women and Children Champion I have a varied role supporting the PCC’s priority of tackling domestic and sexual abuse. Something that may not be obvious from the title is the wide range of issues this includes such as Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), Human Trafficking and Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE). The PCC is very clear in her ambition – she wants to improve services and give victims the confidence to report to the Police and seek support. My role is therefore to support the Commissioner in every aspect of this – such as overseeing police activity, working with partners and advising the PCC ahead of events and meetings. What has struck me in this first year is the immense drive and enthusiasm in Avon and Somerset to tackle domestic and sexual abuse. We have a long way to go but we are certainly at a time where there are great opportunities to make a real impact in this priority area.

Operating Model puts local people first Over the past seven months Avon and Somerset Police has undertaken its most comprehensive review of the way they operate leading to the launch of the “Operating Model.” The new model plans to bring the frontline closer to local people and ensures officer reductions are kept to a minimum. As well as being clearer about what kind of service local people should expect from their police service. In an interview available online Sue Mountstevens asks the Chief Constable Nick Gargan about the effects of the review on neighbourhood policing teams, response times and the changes local people can expect to see. Sue said: “I am very supportive of the Constabulary’s approach. In reviewing the way they operate they are putting local people first and ensuring policing is responsive to demand. The programme will deliver savings which are required over the next two years although this was not the primary motivating factor for developing the Operating Model.
“I will be closely scrutinising the model and asking the questions that local people will want answered. I will be listening to local people throughout the progress of the Operating Model to make sure it meets local peoples’ expectations.” If you want to find out more or have any comments and views about the Constabulary’s new Operating Model you can contact Sue at suemountstevens@gmail.com
New places of safety for mentally ill Increasing the number of health based places of safety is an issue which Sue has campaigned on since taking office. It also supports her aspiration that no individual should be detained in police custody under the mental health act.

What does this mean for you? • Your requests will be responded to in the right way • You will have access to Avon and Somerset Constabulary 24 hours a day, 365 days a year • You will be treated professionally, with fairness and respect • You will be listened to and the issues that matter most to you will be tackled • You will be kept updated and informed
At the end of January, this campaign saw its first major success with the opening of a new four-bed mental health unit based at Southmead Hospital in Bristol. The unit replaces an existing single bed space covering the area formerly known as Avon, and will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and will be supported by dedicated mental health staff. Sue said: “I am delighted that following many conversations and much lobbying this new facility, staffed by trained nurses, is now up and running. “I have always been passionate that police cells are not a place to detain someone suffering mental illness. Too often I have heard about people being detained under the Mental Health Act even though they have committed no crime. “People who are mentally ill require specialist help in order to get better. Unlike a mental health professional, police officers are not trained to provide the necessary level of support to someone with mental health problems.”
