Objectives April 2013 — March 2014
e Fraud Activity Return On Investment (ROI) - 72% recovery rate against closed cases (according to
John Scott at SOLT meeting 15" May 2013). Planning an intelligence check checklist for association
with all Fl cases raised ... to ensure all channels explored to maximise recoveries. I have attended
North & South Sec Ops team meetings, dealing with POL045s (voluntary bank disclosure), Altia
software, reconsideration cases and all aspects of training, so all Investigators are aware of the focus on
recoveries. Quarterly meeting held with FSC to ensure two way engagement in all things recovery
related. I am also to commence proofreading/sign off of submitted cases, again to promote recoveries
as well as ensuring compliance is adhered to.
e Reconsideration Cases (Cold Case Reviews) — Meetings held with FSC (30" April) and Cartwright
King (3 June) communicating intentions to conduct reconsideration cases — what it involves, why we
are doing it and the potential benefits. Awaiting Cartwright King (Phillip Bown) to communicate the
mechanics of getting such cases back into court and establishing what is required (e.g. in terms of
restraint/identified assets). To commence first phase in quarter 2 (selecting archived cases and
commencing cold case review on asset identification).
« Expand Geographical Remit To Genuine National Status — Part 4 powers obtained re Northern
Ireland orders, meeting with PSNI on 24" July (put back due to G8 summit) to discuss crossing t’s and
dotting I’s. Meeting held with Scottish FIU 12" June — to explore utilisation of POCA powers in Scotland
via PF and Crown, then report back to me. Land Registry system now set up in respect of both
Northern Ireland and Scotland, thus increasing this intelligence source to UK wide status.
e Behaviours - PDR timelines adhered to, including completion, submission, review discussion and
Objective setting. I have also continued to adhere to all security requirements such as monthly
submission of T&S forms, correct out of hours messages on my mobile and laptop, completion of
electronic calendar, etc. Wider team and Inter strand working and engagement has been demonstrated
— most notably in the people plan activities, 10 x Torch visits and becoming a member of the Crown
Loss Forum. I have provided details of my ‘buddy offices’ - Windsor Crown Office and Hurst Park Sub
Post Office ... to await ‘further communication’ on next steps.
e People Plan —- Training — I was part of the induction group but this has concluded following successful
delivery. I have asked to be placed in the training group. This is because part of my remit covers
training aspects for Sec Ops and wider teams (as appropriate/applicable). To this effect I have
delivered on the courtroom training course for Investigators (1% March), Dynamic Risk Assessment (12"
April), Cartwright King training day (11" June) and attended North & South Ops team meetings (29"
May and 20" May). Currently being planned and scoped are Mock Trial day, investigation refresher,
courtroom confidence for other teams, conflict management and situational crime prevention.
e Fraud Risk Programmes -— these programmes are being led by Commercial Security but nothing has
been communicated re assistance by Sec Ops. I have provided detailed knowledge to one Sec Ops
Manager and his Team Leader concerning ONCH programmes (mechanics, process, benefits, etc) but
have received no green light that this can commence as a new programme.
