Where does ABC sit with respect to PSA2?
Activity Sampling is a key input into the measure of frontline policing within PSA2. The definition has been agreed between ACPO, the APA, HM Treasury, Number 10 and the Home Office. Activity Sampling and HMIC role codes have been used as the basis of the definition in order to avoid imposing a new data requirement on forces and authorities. The activities that will contribute to the measure were detailed in a letter to forces and can be obtained from the Police Standards Unit. For more information on ABC in frontline policing, please contact Christopher Doel, Economics & Resource Analysis Unit (ERA) – see section 4 for contact details.
