I think CambsPol already have;

Local crime rates fall again | St Neots People
Statistics produced by the force for the year ending March 31, show there were 51,658 crimes in 2011/12, an 8.6 per cent drop on the year before when there were 56,527.

It also represents a drop of more than 20 per cent in total crime in the past three years. In 2008/09, there were 64,663 offences.

In the past year, there have been significant, double-digit percentage falls in crimes including burglary, robbery, vehicle crime, violent crime and criminal damage.

There was a 25.9 per cent rise in the number of drugs offences, from 2378 to 2994 offences, which is believed to be a result of the force's ongoing campaign against those supplying and producing drugs.

Chief Constable Simon Parr said: "The force has undergone significant changes in the past year so I am very pleased that we have maintained our focus on tackling crime.

"It is particularly pleasing to see nearly 5000 fewer victims, especially of offences such as burglary and robbery, which cause so much distress.

"However, we are not complacent and I am looking forward to see the force's restructure bedding in and helping us to improve further. The force still faces significant financial challenges but our commitment remains to improve our performance and make Cambridgeshire a more hostile place for criminals to operate."

Statistics for number of offences:

All crime fell from 56,527 to 51,658, a drop of 8.6 per cent.
Burglary fell from 3317 to 2772, a drop of 16.4 per cent.
Robbery from 617 to 417, a drop of 32.4 per cent.
Vehicle Crime fell from 5326 to 4531, a drop of 14.9 per cent.
Theft from vehicle fell from 4191 to 3631, a drop of 13.4 per cent.
Theft of vehicle fell from 1029 to 818, a drop of 20.5 per cent.
All recorded violence with injury fell from 4550 to 3754, a drop of 17.5 per cent.
Serious sexual offences fell from 592 to 535, a drop of 9.6 per cent.
All violent crime fell from 12,185 to 10,272, a drop of 15.7 per cent.
Criminal damage fell from 9171 to 8232, a drop of 10.2 per cent.
All drugs offences rose from 2378 to 2994, an increase of 25.9 per cent.

As the first round of units joining NPAS is about to start is the management and command structure all in place? Where are their offices and contact details to be found? Anyone have any ideas or info?

While we're back here, any truth that the well discussed 20 minute flying time circles, have now been transformed to;
'15 minutes from receipt of call at the control centre?

If that's what is now being said I'd be very interested to know how they have managed to reduce the times
so drastically, considering the 20 minutes response time was originally calculated ( IIRC ) on flying time alone.

15 minutes from receipt of call at the NPAS Control Room ( in Hampshire ),
will probably equate to around 12 or 13 minutes of that call being received by the crew,
and by the time they get airborne it will only leave them 10 minutes from the original 20 to get on scene.

Here comes the spin -
That's a FANTASTIC 50% saving on flight time with a mere stroke of the pen ! Well done

Or is the 15 minutes now going to be the MINIMUM time to arrive on scene ?
( More likely ? )

Re earlier post by Helinut - CC Marshall worked for TVP, but never had responsibility for air support in that force. Cambs perhaps?

Any news on whether West Yorkshire Police did recruit an additional ACC to hold the NPAS Portfolio ?

On 25th July West Yorkshire Police Authority announced that temporary ACC John Robins had been appointed as ACC, but this was to take up the post vacated by ACC John Parkinson, on his promotion to Deputy Chief Constable. ( Who in turn took up the post vacated by David Crompton who moved to SOUTH Yorkshire as their new Chief Constable ).

SS - (your post #510) is interesting in that the Cambridge figures are up to 31st March 2012, and therefore include the aircraft as one of their tools to reduce crime, until the following day when they waved goodbye to it.

I wonder how the statisticians will ma/n/ss/age the figures over the current year??

It would appear that the "NPAS effect" has taken its toll at south yorks and their engineers have voted with their feet and walked..!
I hear they're AOG right now with NO engineering staff to do the work.!

Perhaps the engineers have simply moved over to ECPM.
Full story required methinks

Only got info third hand.
However the info I got was that they (engineers) weren't convinced by npas HR people about future of the unit and tupe situation. Thus gone to pastures new (outside of police aviation).
They defo AOG at the moment, WYP been doing jobs for them.

Just heard it's the Gearbox - fond memories of a visit to the European Distribution Centre -
where a newly delivered Transmission took pride of place ( in days gone by when they were in short supply ! ).
