THE NSIR SUB-AIMS
Stakeholders have agreed that the project will

• Allow police data to inform shape the
  Governments work in relation to anti-social
  behaviour and Community Cohesion
• Provide data for use in the Office of National
  Statistics Neighbourhood Renewal project
• Allow Government the Police to more clearly
  quantify the totality of demand that is being
  placed upon the policing services
• Allow Government the Public to know how
  efficient effective the police are at
  addressing calls for service which amount to
  non-crime non-Notifiable crime incidents
• Allow better understanding of why public
  satisfaction with police is year on year
  reducing, especially where people actually call
  upon police to provide a service
• Allow a better understanding of public
  satisfaction in relation to non-notifiable Crime
  and other incidents
• Allow a better understanding of the potential to
  use standardized incident recording as an
  alternative measure for minor crime and as a
  measure of operational effectiveness
• Allow more informed debate around the police
  services position of the provider of first
  last resort, i.e. dealing with matters which are
  arguably beyond its remit
• Support the National Intelligence Model with the
  capture of information and production of
  intelligence thereby facilitating reductions in
  crime and disorder
