PU240 SCOTTISH FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE PERFORMANCE REPORT
The Scottish Fire & Rescue Service performance report provided information on
prevention, protection and operational response activities within the Stirling area for
the period 1 April – 31 August 2016.
The reports attached as Appendices 1, 2 and 3 set out an overview of incident activity
compared against the same period the previous year, the context relating to these
incidents, and action taken. The latest notes gave details for the period 1 July to 31
August 2016.
Responding to questions, the Local Senior Officer advised that the Ward
Development Plans for each of the seven Stirling Council Wards were being
progressed and he hoped to present these to the next meeting of the Committee.
Decision
The Public Safety Committee agreed to note the updated performance indicators and
the contents of the Fire & Rescue Service Performance Report.
(Reference: Report by Local Senior Officer, Scottish Fire & Rescue Service, dated
11 August 2016, submitted)
PU241 POLICE PERFORMANCE REPORT FOR STIRLING AREA: APRIL – AUGUST
2016
The report by the Local Police Commander highlighted matters in Stirling Area
Command such as emerging trends and threats and particular successes and
difficulties. The performance report contained information on performance against
selected performance indicators. The covering report provided complementary
information to that in the table to present a rounded picture of issues affecting policing
in the Stirling Council area.
In summary the number of crimes recorded in Groups 1 to 5 compared to the same
period the previous year had fallen by 8.1% (down from 1,703 to 1,565 crimes). This
drop was accompanied by a reduction over the longer term with a significant fall of
15.5% compared with the 5 year average.
There had been significant long term reductions in Crime Groups 1, 3, 4 & 5
accompanied by reductions in Groups 1, 4 & 5 compared with the same period the
previous year. Group 1 Crimes of Violence was down from 43 to 31, Group 2 Crimes
of Indecency was up from 56 to 62, Group 3 Crimes of Dishonesty was up by 1 crime
from 704 to 705, Group 4 Vandalism/Fire-raising etc. down from 467 to 381 and
Group 5 Pro-Active Crimes – weapons, drugs & Bail offences etc. down from 433 to
386.
The Local Police Commander extended an invitation for all members to visit the
Bilston Glen control room, to view it in operation. The Clerk would liaise with Police
Scotland to confirm arrangements for this visit.
Discussion took place regarding community engagement with particular reference to
a consultation regarding the sale of local police offices. Members noted there were
confusing messages around this consultation process and how meaningful the
consultation was.
4
The Local Police Commander confirmed that this consultation was part of the process
of rationalisation of the Police Scotland estate. This was a national programme with
the national recommendations being based on consultation with local communities.
The affected offices in Stirling Council area were Bannockburn and Bridge of Allan
Police offices.
Members noted concerns about the lack of a policing presence in these communities
and also the loss of the Police call points which were installed when the offices were
originally shut to the public. The Stirling Area Commander advised that the data had
shown that the call points had not been used frequently and they were looking at
options to continue to provide these points within the community, such as within a
local Library etc.
The Local Police Commander advised that ultimately there were difficult decisions to
be made within the current financial circumstances. The decision to continue running
and maintaining a Police office that was used very little could result in the loss of a
community officer post etc. Ultimately, financial savings required to be made and
communities would need to consider whether it was more important to have a
physical building or additional officers out in the community.
Decision
The Public Safety Committee agreed to note the contents of the report and the
associated tables.
(Reference: Report by Local Police Commander, Forth Valley Division, Police
Scotland, dated 16 October 2016, submitted)
PU242 SCOTTISH FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE (SFRS): UPDATE REFERENCE SFRS
AND POLICE SCOTLAND REGARDING INLAND WATER RESCUE FROM
LOCHS AND RIVERS
The report by the Local Senior Officer provided the Committee with details in
reference to liaison arrangements between SFRS and Police Scotland regarding
inland water rescue from lochs and rivers.
The responsibility for coordinating search and rescue on land and on inland waters
rests with Police Scotland. The Maritime & Coastguard Agency through HM
Coastguard, would respond to rescues at sea, on the coastline, within tidal waters
and in certain delegated inland waters. Both Police Scotland and HM Coastguard
were able to call upon various search and rescue assets (SFRS, the Royal National
Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), privately operated lifeboats, search and rescue
helicopters, Scottish Ambulance Service (SAS), cave rescue, mountain rescue, etc.),
when deemed necessary.
Police Scotland contact the relevant SFRS Operational Control to request SFRS
assets (SFRS shall automatically inform the SAS and the Maritime & Coastguard
Agency where relevant). Police Scotland shall provide a Police Incident Officer who
will be responsible for coordinating and providing a suitable rendezvous point and or
forward control point for the performance of a multi-agency joint assessment.
Where an Incident is attended in the first instance by an emergency service other than
Police Scotland the attending service shall ensure the multi-agency services
mobilised are provided with a suitable rendezvous point and or forward control point,
5
via the Police Scotland operations control room. Once in attendance a joint multi
agency assessment shall be performed to determine strategy and resources required
to resolve the incident.
An invitation was extended to all members who wished to visit Stirling Fire Station to
view current water rescue resources available to SFRS. Members were asked to
contact the Clerk or SFRS directly if they wished to arrange a visit.
Decision
The Public Safety Committee agreed:1. to note the content of this report and consider if any further specific information is
required; and
2. to accept the opportunity for any elected member to familiarise themselves with
the current water rescue resources available for inland water rescue.
(Reference: Report by Local Senior Officer, Scottish Fire & Rescue Service, dated
30 September 2016, submitted)
PU243 ROAD SAFETY UPDATE REPORT
The report by the Senior Manager – Environment & Place set out Stirling Council’s
road safety responsibilities as noted in the Road Safety Plan 2011-2015. It provided
an update on progress and the contribution to date made towards achieving national
casualty reduction targets as set out in the Scottish Government Road Safety
Framework to 2020 ‘Go Safe on Scotland’s Roads it’s Everyone’s Responsibility’.
Stirling Council adopted the Road Safety Plan 2011-2015 at a meeting of the
Executive on 27 October 2011. Progress was noted at a meeting of the Public Safety
Committee on 3 May 2014.
The Plan was developed in consultation with road safety partners to complement the
Scottish Road Safety Framework. It was built on the successes of the previous plan,
reflected the changes in national targets and addressed those areas that needed to
be strengthened.
The Plan also provided an accident reduction strategy to contribute towards achieving
the Scottish Government’s casualty reduction targets by 2020 through identifying
road safety problems, identifying action points and targeting resources under a series
of key themes.
The Plan sat under the Local Transport Strategy and was designed to help deliver
high level objectives as well as those specific to casualty reduction and road safety.
A new ten year Local Transport Strategy had been drafted and issued for public
consultation. The publication of a new five year Road Safety Plan will follow on from
the adoption of a new Local Transport Strategy.
Road traffic accidents reported on roads in the Stirling Council area had contributed
costs of £28,421,599 to the wider economy annually over the five year period 2011
to 2015.
6
The average number of accidents and resultant casualties reported on roads within
the Stirling Council area continued to fall over the last year despite an increase in the
annual total. The Five year average casualty figures showed encouraging
contributions towards national targets and to achieving local objectives but also
highlighted potential areas of improvement.
Decision
The Public Safety Committee agreed to note:1. the statutory road safety responsibilities placed on Stirling Council by The Road
Traffic Act 1988;
2. the local contribution made towards achieving the national casualty reduction
targets for 2020; and
3. the improvements to road user safety across the Stirling Council area.
(Reference: Report by Senior Manager – Environment & Place (Localities &
Infrastructure) dated 14 October 2016, submitted)
PU244 UPDATE ON PROGRESS: COMBATING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
The report by the Senior Manager – Communities and People provided an update to
Committee on the progress of actions following a presentation and report by Stirling
Women’s Aid and Stirling Gender Based Violence Policy Coordinator to the March
2016 Public Safety Committee.
At the March meeting, members noted Stirling Gender Based Violence (GBV)
partnership’s positive work to combat violence against women and endorsed the
programme of training and initiatives for tackling GBV.
A number of areas had been identified as key aspects of the programme and priorities
for action. These were noted as follows:Training - To ensure that Council staff had the skills and knowledge to deliver Equally
Safe, the national strategy to combat gender based violence, and allied local
strategies, awareness of gender based violence needs to be part of organisational
development for all frontline staff, proportionate and profiled to each service, and
prominent within the induction programme for new staff.
Data collection and monitoring - GBV partnerships were recognised as the local
delivery vehicle for Equally Safe. Being able to measure their performance against
its vision, and allied local GBV Strategies and Action Plans was crucial, as was
identifying areas where improvements were needed. Towards achieving this, in
September 2016, the Equally Safe ‘Accountability’ workstream circulated a draft
Performance Management Framework Guidance document containing a suite of
outcomes and indicators, along with a rationale as to the importance of each.
Securing leadership support for the 16 Days of Action / Activism against gender
based violence - 16 Days was an annual international campaign that called for the
elimination of all forms of violence against women and raised awareness about
7
gender based violence as a human rights issue at local, national, regional and
international level.
Members noted and agreed with the intention to produce a suite of performance
indicators relating to this priority, to be reported to the appropriate Committee in
future.
It was noted that a final update paper would be provided for the January Committee
meeting.
The Stirling Area Commander noted that Police Scotland now had 6 officers across
Forth Valley Division who were trained to support people facing similar LGBT related
issues and this was a resource that could be utilised if members were ever
approached or made aware of people experiencing this type of problem. It was
agreed that information regarding this resource would be shared with members for
their information/future use.
Decision
The Public Safety Committee agreed to:1.
note that the all members briefing was being scheduled to take place after the
Council’s programme of activity for 16 Days of Action (25 November – 10
December, 2016), which would serve as the foundation for the briefing; and
2.
endorse the programme outline for this year’s 16 Days of Action, including
proposed White Ribbon activities and the Opening Conference on 25
November 2016.

1. To ensure local risk management and preparedness
The Service identifies, prioritises and plans to meet the risks in each local community.
We said we would:
•
actively participate in the Community Planning Arrangements
•
develop our staff to deal with our local risks
•
gather and analyse risk information
•
work with partners to mitigate risks
•
adopt a multi-agency approach in our response to major events.
All our operational staff continue to gather and analyse local risk information and operational intelligence which is used in our preparations drive down risk and to resolve incidents.
We conduct Post Incident debriefs to identify any lessons that can be learned from our preparedness and response to emergency events.
We use Urgent Operational Intelligence Briefings to inform our operational staff of any safety critical information that ensure their, and the communities, continued safety.
We continue to be an active member of the Forth Valley Local Resilience Partnership.
We share information with local authority partners and other key stakeholders (e.g Police Scotland, Scottish Ambulance Service, Stirling Council Emergency Planning Department) to ensure
emergency event risks are mitigated.
During the reporting period the service did not attend any large scale incidents.

Definitions
Accidental Dwelling Fire
Building occupied by households, excluding hotels, hostels and residential institutions. In 2000, the definition of a dwelling was widened to include any non-permanent structure used solely
as a dwelling, such as caravans, houseboats etc. Caravans, boats etc. not used as a permanent dwelling are shown according to the type of property. Accidental includes fires where the
cause was not known or unspecified.
Fire Fatality
A person whose death is attributed to a fire is counted as a fatality even if the death occurred weeks or months later.
Fire Casualty
Non-fatal casualties consist of persons requiring medical treatment including first aid given at the scene of the fire, but not those sent to hospital or advised to see a doctor for a checkup or
observation (whether or not they actually do). People sent to hospital or advised to see a doctor as a precaution, having no obvious injury are recorded as precautionary ‘checkups’.
Deliberate Fire
Includes fires where deliberate ignition is merely suspected, and recorded by the FRS as “doubtful”.
Non-Domestic Fires
These are fires identified as deliberate other building fires or accidental other building fires.
Unwanted Fire Signal
Where the FRS attends a location believing there to be a fire incident, but on arrival discovers that no such incident exists, or existed.

STIRLING COUNCIL
THIS REPORT RELATES
TO ITEM 8
ON THE AGENDA
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
POLICE SCOTLAND
17 JANUARY 2017
NOT EXEMPT
POLICE PERFORMANCE REPORT FOR STIRLING AREA: APRIL – OCTOBER 2016
1
2
SUMMARY
1.1
The purpose of this report is to highlight matters in Stirling Area Command
such as emerging trends and threats or particular successes and difficulties.
1.2
The Stirling Policing Performance Scrutiny Report table (attached as
Appendix 1) contains information on performance against selected
performance indicators. This covering report provides complementary
information to that in the table to present a rounded picture of issues affecting
policing in the Stirling Council area.
1.3
Data for this report is sourced from Police Databases that are subject to
changes as enquiries progress. They can be best regarded as Point in Time
figures. Five year average figures are not available for all measures. The
information in the table should be regarded as provisional.
1.4
The format of this report generally follows that of the Local Policing Plan
priorities (i.e. Protecting People and Places, Dealing with Antisocial
Behaviour, Violent Crime, Disrupting Organised Crime, Crimes of Dishonesty,
Making Roads Safer) as they appear on the Scrutiny Report table. There is
also a further category of Cross Cutting Themes which are relevant to all the
foregoing priorities.
1.5
There will normally be contextual information provided on any current
performance which shows significant improvement or reduction against that
achieved previously.
OFFICER RECOMMENDATION(S)
The Public Safety Committee is invited to:
2.1
note the contents of this report and the associated tables and make known
any issues for consideration of action by Police Scotland.
38
3
CONSIDERATIONS
3.1
This summary details the number of crimes recorded in Groups 1 to 5
compared to the same period the previous year has fallen by 8.4% (down
from 2,321 to 2,125 crimes). This drop is accompanied by a reduction over
the longer term with a significant fall of 16.1% compared with the 5 year
average.
3.2
There have been significant long term reductions in Crime Groups 1, 3, & 4
accompanied by reductions in Groups 1, 3, 4 & 5 compared with the same
period last year. Group 1 Crimes of Violence is down from 60 to 47, Group 2
Crimes of Indecency is up from 68 to 81, Group 3 Crimes of Dishonesty is
down from 963 to 914, Group 4 Vandalism/Fire-raising etc. down from 610 to
524 and Group 5 Pro-Active Crimes – weapons, drugs & Bail offences etc.
down from 620 to 559.
3.3
The performance indicators used in the report reflect the aspirations of Forth
Valley Division to achieve continuous improvement in service delivery to the
communities in this area.
3.4
The format reflects the objectives in the Stirling Local Policing Plan and
contains information produced by Police Scotland which is also relevant to
national priorities. Where indicators link to more than one of the six policing
priorities they have been collated under the heading of Cross Cutting Themes.
3.5
Together, they help to provide information on trends in performance which is
expanded by the contextual information and actions shown in the final
column. Thirty one of the local plan indicators currently contain data which
allow long term comparisons to be made. Of these, 22 show performance
has improved or stayed the same. Fifty two indicators allow comparisons to
be made over the short term. Of these 35 show either targets have been
achieved or performance has improved or stayed the same. The scrutiny
table provides detail of how significant the variations in performance are.
3.6
One of the performance indicators under the priority of Protecting People is
to reduce the levels of crimes of indecency. Reports of this type of crime
have increased during the reporting period up 13 crimes from 68 to 81.
Crimes are recorded according to the date they are reported regardless of
when they occurred. It should be acknowledged that 19 of the crimes, 23.5%,
recorded in the reporting period were committed prior to 1 April 2016 and are
classed as historic enquiries. The positive element of the level of reporting of
historic crime is an indication that victims perhaps feel more confident and
able to report such offences.
3.7
Another objective under the preceding priority is to respond to hate crimes
and offences. The rate for detecting offenders remains high at 73.1% which
has fallen compared with 79.7% for the same period the previous year. The
priority afforded to the investigation of these incidents reflects the importance
placed on addressing this issue, and work in detecting offenders is
complemented by the provision of assistance, advice and guidance to victims.
There were 56 such crimes during the reporting period, over half of which
related to race related incidents. These number of reported crimes has
remained at the same level to last year. A total of 13 crimes were incidents
involving police officers which is 5 less than the 18 reported over the same
period last year.
39
3.8
The number of domestic abuse incidents shows an increase of 0.9%
against the previous year (461 to 465). This issue is a priority within Forth
Valley Division and measures including intervention, enforcement and target
profiling are applied successfully. Whilst detection rate of domestic related
crimes has reduced from 78% to 71.4%, the investigation of these incidents
are still afforded a priority status.
3.9
The long-term downward trend in reports of instances of Anti-Social
Behaviour and Disorder has continued over the reporting period. For
example, the number of incidents of disorder reported to the Police (KPI 32 of
table) continues to fall, showing a reduction of 6.7% amounting to 184 fewer
incidents compared with the same period last year. Crimes of vandalism are
down by 11.3% when compared the same time last year and it should also be
noted that the number of detected crimes compared with the same period last
year has risen from 28.7% to 30.1%.
3.10
In respect of violent crime the reporting period has seen an overall reduction
in both the long and short term. Given numbers are relatively low there can
be fluctuation however so far year to date serious assault figures have stayed
the same and robberies have increased by 1 from 12 to 13. Petty Assaults
are also down on the short term with a year to date drop of 11.5% (down from
633 to 560). Detection rates for these crimes remain significantly high with
100% of serious violent crime detected and 71.8% of Petty Assaults detected.
In the majority of assaults no weapon was used.
3.11
There has been reduction in the number of misuse of drugs supply offences
down on last year from 79 to 55. The current period is compared against a
period of focused activity last year. The current number is akin to levels seen
in the preceding years.
3.12
Crimes of dishonesty (group 3) has dropped compared against the same
period last year (963 to 914) whilst there is a continued significant reduction of
25.6% when compared against the 5 year average. There has been a
continued reduction in the number of reported housebreakings, down 15.2%
from 145 to 123. The only crime types to have risen are shoplifting, up
23.4% (197 to 243) and the number of reported Frauds, up 12 from 62 to 74.
The detection rate for all acquisitive crime currently stands at 42.3% up 1.3
percentage points.
3.14
Road Policing and Road Crime is being addressed by Community Officers
augmented with staff from the local Forth Valley Divisional Road Policing Unit
who themselves are supplemented by the national Trunks Road Policing
Group which covers activity on key main routes. The number of collisions
resulting in injury has decreased from 119 to 115 compared with the same
period last year. Overall casualty figures for those seriously injured or killed
have reduced from 49 to 27. The number of children suffering serious injury
is 1; there has been 2 adult and no child fatalities during the reporting period.
40
3.15
Community Confidence and Engagement remains at the heart of local
policing, and the number of complaints about the police can be a measure
of how well this is being achieved. There have been 57 such complaints
during the period from 1 April 2016 to 31 October 2016. This equates to 38.7
complaints per 10,000 police incidents, which is an increase on the rate
shown in the last report (35.4). The 57 complaints contained 79 allegations,
62 of which related to incidents involving staff on-duty, 0 off-duty and 17
issues relating to the Quality of Service delivered by the organisation.
3.16
The User Satisfaction Survey is the current process for measuring public
satisfaction with policing. This survey is carried out in each division with the
Forth Valley Division results amalgamated with the survey results from C3
division (covering service users from with Forth Valley). The results are
shown in the attached table. Levels of satisfaction are generally in excess of
61.5% across a variety of indicators.
3.17
Attention of Members is drawn to the Management Information now published
via Police Scotland Website which can be found at the following location http://www.scotland.police.uk/about-us/our-performance/
3.18
Due to internal changes in the way Police Scotland reports some activity, 8
KPI’s are not available for this report. These are 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14 and
48.
Risks and Threats
3.19
Some of the risks and threats which continue to present are:3.19.1 Shoplifting
3.19.2 Thefts of purses from elderly in shopping centres;
3.19.3 Local impact of serious organised crime groups;
3.19.4 Public drinking and consequential need for medical attention; and
3.19.5 Changes/trends in drugs supply including monitoring the impact of so
called ‘legal highs’.
By their nature, these remain longer-term threats and Forth Valley Division
continues to focus on intervention and enforcement to address them.
3.20
There were no significant new issues emerging during the previous reporting
period.
3.21
No new issues have come to the fore in the current reporting period.

Aim to

The period April to October
2016 shows a year to date rise,
in the number of crimes
recorded under Group 2 Crimes
of Indecency, with 13 more
crimes recorded during the
period compared with the same
period last year.
The current level is also higher
when compared with the longer
term 5 year average. The
percentage of historic crimes
reported in the Stirling Area
Command is 23.5% (19
crimes) and is indicative of
victim confidence and robust
investigation into historic
crimes.
Aim to
increase
Although there has been an
increase in group 2 crimes the
detection rates have also seen
a substantial increase. The
period April to October 2016
shows an increase of 15.1
percentage points compared
with the same time last year
whilst the comparison with the
longer term 5 year average
shows performance also shows
a rise, up 18.5 points. Out of

Historical reporting of this

crime type. Of the 12 crimes of
rape reported year to date, 6
were committed prior to the
current financial year and are
classed as historic

of crimes directed at police

the overall detection rate as in
those particular crimes the
offender was already known.
Where crimes remain
undetected there is usually an
insufficiency of corroborative
evidence. There is evidence of
society becoming less tolerant
of hate crime with instances of
third party reporting being
made where the complainer
has not been traced. In such
cases it is more difficult to

This area is given a high degree
of priority with all possible
effort made to deliver these
messages within the target
time. The year to date figure
shows the target has been met
with all bail checks being
carried out within 24hrs. Where
notification has not been made
within the timescales this has
largely been due to the fact
that some victims are fleeing
the locus to stay with friends or
relatives and face to face
contact has not always been
possible within the timescale.
Notification outwith face to face

17.5 percentage points higher
than the same period last year
and 7.5 points lower than the 5

context as numbers are low in
this category and there is a
variance in the number
reported year on year, this
equates to 38 crimes detected
over the period compared with
21 for the same period last

Due to the detailed
investigation nature of fraud
crimes, enquiries may be
protracted and this figure may
increase over time. There are
challenges to detecting crimes
when frauds are perpetrated by

The definition of
serious injury is

notable factor in
respect of serious
injury collisions is
that the majority
occur on rural
roads where the
speed limit is 60
miles per hour.
The nature of local

that Stirling

PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
SCOTTISH FIRE AND

17 JANUARY 2017
NOT EXEMPT
JOINT STIRLING COUNCIL / SCOTTISH FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE (SFRS)
COMMUNITY FLOOD MITIGATION PARTNERSHIP UPDATE
1
SUMMARY
1.1
2
The purpose of this report is to provide the Stirling Council Public Safety
Committee with further details on the progress on the joint Stirling
Council/SFRS proposal for community flood mitigation, presented to
Committee on the 23 August 2016.
OFFICER RECOMMENDATION(S)
It is recommended that the Public Safety Committee note the content of this report.
3
CONSIDERATIONS
Update
3.1
The outcomes from the meeting held on the 20 November 2015 between
SFRS and Stirling Council Environmental Services, Bridge and Flood
maintenance department were:
• Proposal No1 - SFRS community Fire stations to become holding areas
for flood mitigating resources, these resources were predominately
deemed first strike property protection defences such as water absorbing
gel sacks and flood bags. (complete)
• Proposal No2 - Stirling Council to purchase bulk quantities of flood
products for SFRS to store and distribute. (purchase & storage complete,
draft protocol for distribution being progressed)
90
3.2
Ref Proposal No 1 the Four Fire stations identified were Callander,
Aberfoyle, Stirling and Bridge of Allan. SFRS are pleased to report the above
stations have now received the following stock of bulk storage flood sacs and
these have been secured in place by the SFRS property manager with the
associated cost below.
3.2.1
Callander 180 Hydro sacks (blue) & 180 Hydrosnakes (red)
3.2.2
Aberfoyle 180 Hydro sacks (blue) & 180 Hydrosnakes (red)
3.2.3
Stirling 120 Hydro sacks (blue) & 120 Hydrosnakes (red)
3.2.4
Bridge of Allan 120 Hydro sacks (blue) & 120 Hydrosnakes (red)
The cost per station is £150.00 + vat + £180.00 = Total £720.00
This includes
• Eyelet fixings were required
• Key padlocks 1 per bin
• Combination padlocks 1 per bin
• Chain
•

91
Protocol
3.3
Reference proposal No 2 a draft joint protocol is being compiled which will
be agreed by the SFRS and Stirling Council to determine the triggers to
activate a response to issue the flood sacs as and when required.
3.4
The following issue was raised at the meeting at Endrick House on the 24
November 2016 with Claire Elliot (flood coordinator Stirling Council), Ross
garland (assistant flood coordinator), Kimberly Campbell (Resilience & Risk
officer Stirling Council).
3.5
Pre issue of flood sacs to Aberfoyle residents was discussed to enable the
community to have immediate access to a predetermined number of flood
sacs. The limited warning of flooding to Aberfoyle area was a driver for
requesting pre issue of flood sacs. The pre issue may however raise a
number of concerns reference Stirling Council sand bag policy, which directs
communities to pick up sand bags at locations during adverse weather. It
was therefore agreed for Claire Elliot to ascertain if Stirling Council would
sanction pre issue of flood sacs to residents in the Aberfoyle area, the
partnership awaits a decision from Stirling Council, as per paragraph 3.6
3.6
Following discussions on the 24 November 2016, proposals were put forward
to the Land and Roads manager setting out how pre-issue of Property Level
Protection (PLP) products could be achieved. The concerns and potential
legal implications of undertaking this were outlined and advice sought for next
steps, officers await further direction from senior management.
3.7
Following the discussions on the 24 November 2016, all local
residents/business owners who received the Scottish Government Flood
Grant were contacted via email and asked to provide information on how the
funds have been used to make properties more flood resilient. Only 6 of 21
individuals responded*.
*Note some of the 21 received grants for more than one property.
3.8
Extract from Stirling Council website:Stirling Council can offer assistance during flooding and may be able to make
sandbags available at Springkerse (Stirling) and Lagrannoch (Callander)
depots, dependent on resources and the priorities set out in the Winter
Maintenance Policy. No guarantee can be made that sandbags will be
deployed and property owners should take steps to protect their properties.
For assistance dial the contact Centre on 01786 404040.
3.9
In addition to the agree bulk stock of hydrosacks & hydro snakes, the
potential for locating two pallets of sand bags at the agreed four fire stations
during adverse weather was agreed. Claire to discuss with Stirling Council.
CONTAINER STORAGE
3.10
The potential use of the garage in Aberfoyle which is community owned land,
to locate a storage container during the winter period was deemed to be a
potential site for further discussion. The range of flood support materials will
be subject to agreement and the following list is not exhaustive:
92
3.10.1
Door guards, flood barriers, flood hydrosnakes, sacs, PPE, duct tape,
lighting, sand bags etc.
3.10.2
It is important to highlight the limitations and issues surrounding
appliance pumps and portable pumping equipment. The use of
sump pumps require portable generators to operate and competent
personnel to deploy and use. The storage of portable pumps and
generators would require robust maintenance regimes to ensure
standard testing is performed. It is unclear at this stage if the
partnership could provide a robust safe system of work to enable
small portable pumps to be stored and deployed from a storage
container.
SFRS Pumps
3.11
The formation of the SFRS provided the people of Scotland with equitable
access to specialist resources. As such the SFRS have four High Volume
Pumps (HVP) capable of moving high volumes of water considerable
distances. The partnership highlights these resources are available across
Scotland, however significant operational issues arise from deploying HVP.
Practically the HVP pumps require to move flood water significant distances to
areas that can accommodate the volume of flood water. The large volume
hose can create transport restrictions in the area of operations due to the
large diameter hose deployed. The deployed HVP hose requires ramps to
enable vehicles to cross over the hose, these are extremely limited in number,
and therefore significant road closures are required.
3.12
The SFRS shall review the Aberfoyle, Callander, Bridge of Allan and Stirling
area to determine if any strategic sites could provide pre planned locations for
the use of these specialist resources as part of its operational intelligence
duties.
3.13
SFRS Portable pumps are limited to approximately 800-1000L per min, these
are carried on standard fire appliances and require to be used by competent
SFRS personnel only.
93
STRATEGY
3.14
Following a very positive meeting with Paul Hendy (Recovery Operations
Manager Flood Forum) and Claire Elliot (Flood Coordinator Stirling Council)
an outline strategy followed the following brief overview.
3.14.1 Identify SFRS personnel in flood areas who can undertake the
necessary training to perform a property flood survey.
3.14.2 Arrange dates for the training to be delivered at fire stations
3.14.3 Contact Flood Forums and Community Councils and agree to hold
Flood Seminars at Community Halls.
3.14.4 Provide demonstration of flood mitigation equipment available at
seminar
3.14.5 Identify residents in community wishing flood surveys
3.14.6 Perform flood surveys to community
3.14.7 Utilise Flood Forums and Community Councils to assist in activation
protocols and maintenance of flood procedures to aid community
resilience.
3.15
Station Managers for Aberfoyle, Callander, Stirling and Bridge of Allan fire
station have requested volunteers to undertake the necessary flood survey
training, we await numbers to be confirmed.
3.16
The group is awaiting progress on training dates, Seminar and Flood Forum
meetings to date

NOT EXEMPT
CRIMESTOPPERS CAMPAIGN REPORT
1
SUMMARY
1.1
2
This report provides an overview of a multi-agency planned initiative aiming to
assist in the reduction of Antisocial Behaviour through increased partnership
work with “Crimestoppers”.
OFFICER RECOMMENDATION(S)
The Public Safety Committee agrees to note and comment on the initiative proposed
within this paper.
3
CONSIDERATIONS
3.1
The amount of Anti-Social Behaviour within Stirling continues to reduce with an
overall declining trend in anti-social behaviour complaints made to Stirling
Council since April 2014. Between 2014 and 2015 there was a 21% decline.
Figures for 2016 so far show fewer complaints per month in comparison to
2015 in all months except March.
3.2
To support this continued improvement a multi-agency group has been set up
to investigate the potential to increase the utilisation of “Crimestoppers” as an
additional tool to support this continued reduction. This partnership approach
aims to not only meet the short term objective to reduce anti-social behaviour
but to embed crimestoppers as a long term asset for the communities within
Stirling. This is being jointly funded by Stirling Council, Police Scotland and the
SFRS with each agency contributing £1,500.
3.3
Crimestoppers is a national charity that supports the reduction of crime within
communities utilising a number of mechanisms. They are able to offer
anonymity to people wishing to report crimes, engage with communities to help
create safer places to live, to educate through sharing experiences and to
analyse the information they receive. The expertise being delivered by
Crimestoppers will ensure that all agencies get value for money in their
investment.
98
4
3.4
The initiative is being divided into three phases. The first being a leaflet
support to the “Our Stirling” campaign, the second phase is using the
community councils and other community groups to share the message with
the communities and the third being a targeted approach aimed at school
children prior to the Easter holidays.
3.5
The support of “Our Stirling” campaign will be achieved using leaflets. During
Our Stirling, partners will engage with members of the public within the Stirling
City Centre. One of the messages we will get over is the additional options of
reporting crime through Crimestoppers.
3.6
The second phase will require partners to attend the local community council
meetings asking them to share the potential of Crimestoppers with members of
their community. Leaflets will be provided to support this and local advertising
will be considered in a targeted manner.
3.7
The final phase is to link in with the local schools through the current
arrangements and ensure all school pupils are aware of Crimestoppers and
ask them to champion this within their communities.

PUBLIC SPACE CCTV SYSTEM UPDATE
1
SUMMARY
1.1
2
The purpose of this report is to update the Committee on Stirling Council’s
Public Space CCTV improvements.
OFFICER RECOMMENDATION(S)
The Public Safety Committee agrees:2.1
3
To note the content of this report and progress to date on the Public Space
CCTV upgrade.
CONSIDERATIONS
3.1
In 2015 the Council awarded capital investment funding to update the
current Public Space CCTV system. Work has been ongoing over the last
year to take this forward and the new system will be delivered on budget.
3.2
Stirling Council now has 5 re-deployable mobile CCTV cameras that are
deployed on an intelligence led approach through the Safer Communities
Tasking & Co-ordinating monthly meeting.
3.3
The 5 mobile deployable CCTV cameras have already improved public
safety within areas of concern. The deployed cameras have provided better
picture images which has resulted in assisting Police colleagues. For
example, in relation to a serious assault after a football match, the new
technology allowed Police to view footage to identify the perpetrators and
charge individuals for a serious assault.
3.4
CCTV contractors have now replaced all 32 public space CCTV analogue
cameras to new digital cameras, which provide higher definition monitoring.
Due to the quality of imaging, monitoring staff have been proactive in
passing incidents of concern to the Police resulting in positive outcomes.
102
4
3.5
The new CCTV digital platform and monitoring suite has been installed at
Customer First. Technical testing is underway which will include acceptance
testing to ensure that the CCTV contractors meet all tender requirements
and technical specifications.
3.6
The newly integrated location of the CCTV monitoring suite alongside the
Safer Communities Team and Police Scotland will provide a quality service
with a more holistic approach. This will enable staff to be deployed on
intelligence led information.
3.7
All Safer Communities Enforcement Officers have undertaken Public Space
Surveillance, Security Industry Authority (SIA) CCTV qualifications as well
as Home Office approved Airwaves training to provide an enhanced service.
3.8
New CCTV monitoring and data protection training will be undertaken by all
staff to fulfil all regulatory requirements.

Stirling Council: EqIA Relevance Check (June 2014)
Completing this form will help you determine whether or not an equality impact assessment
is required and provide a record of your decision. This is a screening process to help you
decide if the proposal under consideration requires an EqIA - it is not an EqIA and the
impact of the proposal will be determined by the EqIA itself.
The Guidance: Equality Impact Assessment Toolkit June 2014 may help when
completing this form this can be accessed via the following link http://web.stirling.gov.uk/eqia_toolkit.doc
The term proposal used below is intended to include “policy, strategy, service, function,
procedure or project.”
When is an EqIA required?
While each proposal must be considered individually, it is anticipated that an EqIA will
always be required when:
• introducing a new policy/strategy/service/function
• reviewing a current policy/strategy/service/function
• reducing / discontinuing an existing service
• considering budget proposals resulting in any of the above
Reports on technical or procedural matters or which confirm progress on previously
considered proposals, may be less likely to require an EqIA but this can only be determined
by using this form.

SUMMARY
1.1
The purpose of this report is to provide the Stirling Council Public Safety
Committee with an overview of the overall SFRS Strategic Intent Programme of
work to deliver and equip three SFRS regional Control rooms with a modern call
handling and mobilisation system, along with merging the respective Control
rooms and their respective data sets, working practices and most importantly our
people.
1.2
The report presents a positive and consistent approach for the delivery of SFRS
Control rooms.
OFFICER RECOMMENDATION(S)
The Public Safety Committee is asked to note the content of this report and make any
comments.

INTRODUCTION OF THE SCOTTISH FIRE & RESCUE SERVICE
3.1
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) was established as a single
national organisation by the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012 to
provide Fire and Rescue Services across Scotland. This Act also amended the
Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 to take account of fire reform and further modernise and
update the functions of the SFRS. On the 1 April 2013 the former eight Fire &
Rescue Services across Scotland became a single national service.
SFRS Strategic Intent
3.2
The Property Estate Strategic Intent document laid out proposals for the future
shape of the SFRS in terms of its required properties and infrastructure. On the
26 September 2013 the SFRS Board considered the proposals which included
the future locations and number of control rooms.
3.3
The SFRS Board decision was to move to three control rooms, these would be
based at Johnstone, Dundee and Edinburgh. The significant project of work
would be undertaken by the Command & Control Futures (CCF) project Board.
110
3.4
The SFRS Board decision was to move to three regional control rooms, which
would locate one Operational control room in each of the three SFRS service
delivery areas. Dundee in the North Service Delivery Area, Johnstone in the
West Service Delivery Area and Edinburgh in the East Service Delivery Area.
3.5
The multi-million pound investment to migrate legacy service controls has
provided greatly improved control infrastructure with state of the art systems and
facilities.
3.6
Johnstone WSDA regional control room went live on November 2014. Tollcross
Edinburgh ESDA regional control room went live on the 30 March 2016 and the
extensive redevelopment and refurbishment work to the OC in Dundee is
progressing. Control room staff have moved into a specialised high specification
modular accommodation at McAlpine Road Fire Station to enable the work to be
completed. This transition phase will allow effective and resilient operation with
full capability until the third Regional Control room in the NSDA is completed,
projected go live for the Dundee OC Room is March 2017.
3.7
Part of the CCF programme is to procure a new single system to replace the
multifarious instances of fire command and control systems existing in OC today.
This procurement exercise is ongoing and time consuming. The new single
technical platform shall be delivered through the three control rooms and provide
full interoperability and ensure the most appropriate resources can be mobilised
across the whole of Scotland, improving the safety of communities and
firefighters alike.
Consistent Approach
3.8
The SFRS OC rooms all operate to National Control Operating Procedures
(COP) this ensures a consistent approach.
3.9
Operational response to an incident is delivered in a consistent manner across
the whole of the SFRS.
3.10
Overview- 999 caller, depending on location of call, one of the three SFRS
Regional OC shall capture the telephone number and location of caller using an
8 figure grid reference. OC shall insert the address of incident and the incident
type (example a dwelling fire) into the SFRS mobilising system and the system
will generate the nearest appliances to the incident location. This is known as
dynamic mobilising, which ascertains the nearest appliance location and
provides the time of travel to the incident. The OC operator will be offered a list
of appliances with the nearest appliance offered at the top of the list. Importantly
the SFRS have adopted a standard approach across the whole of the SFRS,
whereby the system incorporates 5 minutes response times for retained duty
appliances, as these personnel are required to respond to the station and don
the personal protective equipment. The wholetime appliances are already in the
respective stations or doing other duties the system incorporates 2 minutes into
their travel time to the incident.
111
4
3.11
The mobilising system used by the SFRS is called Vision, the system is
preloaded with the United Kingdom address gazetteer. Travel times to incident
is calculated by using predetermined road speeds to the class of road network
(example class A road 64Km/ hr, class B road 56 M Km/hr and motorways 90
Km/hr) included in the preloaded information is the 5 minutes for retained duty
system (RDS) crews to respond or 2 minutes for the wholetime crews to
respond.
3.12
Example - 2 pumps are mobilised to Hanover Court Dunblane, the system shall
plot the address, incident type, ascertain what appliances are available and offer
up to the Control Room Operator the two nearest appliances. If Dunblane RDS
appliance is not available then the system shall automatically select the next
nearest appliances. In this case Bridge of Allan and Stirling Fire Station
appliances. The system shall indicate Bridge of Allan as 10.1 minutes travel
time to the incident location and Stirling appliance as 10.8 minutes. Note the
travel time is decimal 10.1 minutes = 10 minutes 6 seconds not 10 minutes 1
second. Importantly the system cannot facilitate for busy roads, closed roads.
3.13
The SFRS can align resources and travel times to specific locations if for
example a bridge is closed for 6 months and the local area can identify a
significant delay in response to an area, this however is not practical on a daily
basis across the SFRS nationally.
3.14
The weight of Operational response is predetermined by incident type across the
whole of the SFRS. For example the SFRS shall mobilise:
•
Two Pumps to a house fire.
•
Four pumps to a nursing home fire.
•
Two pumps to road traffic accident unless on a motorway where they
shall send three pumps.

APPENDIX "A" - AUDIT METHODOLOGY
Audit 1 - Crime Related Incidents and Associated Recorded Crime
The audit sample was selected from Command and Control incidents over a specific four day
period with initial call types CR-60 to CR-79 within the Crime category, and incidents with initial
call types AB-57 Communications, AB-58 Hate Crime, PW-40 Domestic Incident and PW-76
Child Protection. The incident sample selected for audit ensured, working to a 95%
confidence level with a confidence interval of +/-3%, that the sample audited was statistically
representative of all incidents of this type recorded during the four day audit period. A formula
was applied to the total number of incidents per Command Area and apportioned out between
Divisions in that Command Area in order to obtain sample sizes. These were subject to a
minimum of 150 and a maximum of 300 per Division.
Compliance in each of the two Tests is achieved with a result of 95% or above.
The audit tested:
Test 1 – Crime Related Incidents
•
That incidents initially inferring a crime or apparent criminal activity and closed as a
non-crime contained a satisfactory narrative to eliminate any inference of criminality
and fully justify a non-crime disposal.
•
That each incident clearly indicated a crime or non-crime as a disposal on the incident
text.
•
Where an incident was closed as a crime, the corresponding crime record was traced.
Test 2 – Recorded Crime
•
The correct application of SCRS on recorded crimes in respect of the Scottish
Government Counting Rules and the correct classification of crimes. In terms of
compliance with SCRS each individual crime over or under-recorded, or incorrectly
classified was counted as having failed the audit.
Audit 2 - Recording of Specific Crime Types (Divisional Crime Audit)
To ensure that a number of different areas of crime recording are represented by Audit 2,
samples were obtained from the following categories:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Assault (Common Assault only)
Group 1 Crime (Crimes of violence)
Group 2 Crime (Sexual offences)
Group 3 Crime (Crimes of dishonesty)
Group 4 Crime (Damage to property)
Other Crimes from Groups 5, 6 and 7
119
While not as statistically representative of all records within the audit period as Audit 1, the
sample sizes in Audit 2 were weighted to take into account higher volumes of crime being
recorded in some Divisions subject to a minimum of 100 records and a maximum of 300
records.
The audit tested the correct application of SCRS on recorded crimes in respect of the Scottish
Government Counting Rules and the correct classification of crimes. In terms of compliance
with SCRS each individual crime over or under-recorded, or incorrectly classified was counted
as having failed the audit.
Compliance in this audit is achieved with a result of 95% or above.
Audit 3 - Crime Records Reclassified to "No Crime"
The third principle of SCRS states "once recorded, a crime will remain recorded unless there is
credible evidence to disprove that a crime had occurred".
The audit tested the correct application of this principle in respect of recorded crime which was
reclassified to "No Crime" following Police enquiry into the reported circumstances. In terms of
compliance with SCRS each individual crime reclassified incorrectly was counted as having
failed the audit.
The sample sizes in Audit 3 were weighted to take into account the higher number of records
reclassified to "No Crime" in some Divisions subject to a minimum of 50 and a maximum of
100.
Compliance in this audit is achieved with a result of 95% or above.
In order to allow Divisions a reasonable period of time to ensure that records are complete and
compliant with SCRS, audits are generally undertaken once a period of three months from the
date of the incident/crime has elapsed. Any record incomplete at the time of audit will be
audited based on the information available at the time.

FOREWARD
Welcome to the Scottish Fire & Rescue Services (SFRS) Operational Plan for the
Local Authority Ward Area of Trossachs and Teith. This plan is the mechanism
through which the aims of the SFRS’s Strategic Plan 2013 – 2016 and the Stirling
Council area Local Fire and Rescue Plan 2014-17 are delivered to meet the agreed
needs of the communities within Trossach and Teith.
This plan sets out the priorities and objectives for the SFRS within the Trossachs and
Teith area for 2016 – 2017. The SFRS will continue to work closely with our partners
in Trossachs and Teith to ensure we are all “Working Together for a safer Scotland”
through targeting risks to our communities at a local level.
This plan is aligned to the Community Planning Partnership structures within the
Stirling Council area. Through partnership working, we aim to deliver continuous
improvement in our performance and effective service delivery in our area of
operations.
The SFRS will continue to use data analysis techniques to identify risk and to ensure
resources are allocated to the point of need within our communities. While
considering the strategic priorities of the SFRS we will develop local solutions to local
needs and ensure equitable access to Fire and Rescue resources. Through our
involvement with local community safety groups in the Trossachs and Teith area and
Stirling Council area we will continue to develop our understanding of local needs
and proactively seek out consultation opportunities with all sections of the
community. Using this approach we will ensure that the service we deliver is driven
by consultation, in line with public expectations and helps to build strong, safe and
resilient communities.

SCOTTISH INDEX OF MULTIPLE DEPRIVATION INFORMATION
Trossachs and Teith Ward is subdivided into 15 datazone within the Scottish Index of
Multiple Deprivation (SIMD). SIMD utilises seven factors including crime, access to
services, education skills and training employment, health, housing and income to
identify areas that need the greatest support.
SIMD information identifies that crime is not a significant issue in the area. There are
no areas which are classed as being within the worst 10% nationally for reported
crime. This crime will include fire related activities.
The health indicators show a positive range in the ward with no areas in the lowest
20% and 8 areas in the highest 20%.
When the all seven factors are brought together the information identifies that there
are no specific areas that the SFRS should target with prevention activities.

including over 4700 dwellings. These range from flatted accommodation and local
authority housing to farms, cottages and large detached villas.
There are also a significant number of business, retail and heritage premises. Typical
risk premises within the area include hotels, sheltered housing, care homes, leisure
centre, primary schools , a secondary school, numerous farms and steadings,
caravan and camping sites, a quarry, a distillery, retail premises and a number of
small garages, factories and manufacturing units.
The SFRS gather operational intelligence on any significant risk to enable crews who
are attending incidents to be fully aware of the risks encountered.
Infrastructure
Amongst the main trunk roads spanning Trossachs and Teith are the A82, A84 and
A85. These roads carry a significant amount of traffic including; commercial haulage,
farm and agricultural vehicles, holiday tour buses, commuters, motorbikes and
cyclists. These roads account for a large number of Road Traffic Collisions (RTC)
each year.
There are two rail lines which cut across the north west corner of the ward, forming
part of the West Highland railway. Both lines carry passenger and freight trains.
Environmental
Wildfire
There are vast areas of managed forestry land throughout Trossachs and Teith.
While some is privately owned, Forestry Commission Scotland is the largest owner
and manager of forest. There are also vast areas of grass and heathland, both
managed and unmanaged. These all pose a significant risk from wildfire during warm
and dry weather.

Water risk
Several Lochs, rivers and reservoirs are located within the ward and are being
increasingly used for recreation, presenting a significant water risk.
There are a number sites and premises within the area identified by SEPA that are at
risk from flooding following significant rainfall.
Special risks
Deanston Distillery
Camphill Residential Home
Cononish Gold Mine
Numerous heritage risks in the area including;
Inchmahome Priory
Doune Castle
The Loch Katrine ships – ‘The Lady of the Lake’ and the steamship ‘Sir Walter Scott’
which offer trips around Loch Katrine 12 months of the year.

LOCAL OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
The local operational performance identifies the activities undertaken by the
operational crews working within Trossachs and Teith ward. By examining these
statistics we can identify priorities within the area.
These figures are further scruitinised to identify the cause and severity of the
incidents. This analysis has been used to direct community safety engagement
activity carried out within the local area and this is detailed within the
‘priorities/expectations and outcomes’ section on page 10 of this document.

RESOURCES
The formation of the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service has provided a more equitable
access to our services and resources, such as specialist equipment and teams
across the country.
The operational response for an incident in the Trossachs & Teith area shall be in
most occasions be mobilised from
Aberfoyle, Callander, Killin, Tyndrum or
Crainlarich and Doune Community Fire Stations. These is are single pump stations
operated by Retained Duty System personnel.
RDS firefighters provide a 24 hours a day, seven days a week emergency on call
response. They provide a vital service to the community in which they live or work.
Most of our RDS firefighters are women and men who have primary employment
outwith the SFRS , however in addition to their full time job, they provide the same
range of emergency services as their whole-time colleagues.
The area will also be supported by SFRS resources throughout the Forth Valley area
including across Scotland if required.
PERFORMANCE REPORTING
The objectives contained within this plan and a suite of performance indicators will be
reported on to the Stirling and Clackmannanshire Management Team on a Quarterly
basis by the Station Manager.

PRIORITIES/EXPECTATIONS/OUTCOMES
Reduction of Accidental Dwelling Fires
The table below shows that Trossachs and Teith ward has shown not only a
recent increase in accidental dwelling fires but the long term trend is also
increasing. This ward is also significantly above the Stirling District and
Scottish average for accidental dwelling fires. The main cause of this increase
is the number of cooking related fires within domestic premises with over 90%
of the fires in 2015/16 occuring in the kitchen.

Stirling Council: EqIA Relevance Check (June 2014)
Completing this form will help you determine whether or not an equality impact assessment
is required and provide a record of your decision. This is a screening process to help you
decide if the proposal under consideration requires an EqIA - it is not an EqIA and the
impact of the proposal will be determined by the EqIA itself.
The Guidance: Equality Impact Assessment Toolkit June 2014 may help when
completing this form this can be accessed via the following link http://web.stirling.gov.uk/eqia_toolkit.doc
The term proposal used below is intended to include “policy, strategy, service, function,
procedure or project.”
When is an EqIA required?
While each proposal must be considered individually, it is anticipated that an EqIA will
always be required when:
• introducing a new policy/strategy/service/function
• reviewing a current policy/strategy/service/function
• reducing / discontinuing an existing service
• considering budget proposals resulting in any of the above
Reports on technical or procedural matters or which confirm progress on previously
considered proposals, may be less likely to require an EqIA but this can only be determined
by using this form.
