Notes
(1) The PSA24 police user satisfaction indicator (baseline year ending March 2008) is a national target. The PSA24 target for police user satisfaction will be met if there is a statistical significant increase (at the 95% level) in the percentage of satisfied responses.
(2) Police user satisfaction data is collected at police force level. The data presented for London LCJB corresponds to the Metropolitan Police Service area and excludes City of London Police.
(3) Whilst it is possible to disaggregate the data at the local level there are no performance targets/measures for LCJBs this PSA period. The data presented at the LCJB level are for information only.
* denotes a statistically significant change at the 95% level since the CJS baseline
Data are provisional and subject to revisions
