ABasis of 2004/5 Bid
• Crime continues to be a serious problem & barrier to economic growth
• NPA performance has improved but the size of the problem is also increasing
• Reaching the limits of gains to be made from improving productivity
• Cannot be satisfied that enough has been done in terms of making an impact on reduction of crime & increasing confidence in criminal justice system
• However simply doing more of the same is neither affordable nor effective in the long term
• Transformation process underway in NPA looking for solutions – design phase to be complete June 2005
