  As part of a Force improvement process, Cheshire Eastern Area BCU was created in April 2005 from the former Crewe and Macclesfield divisions and the Congleton section of the Congleton and Vale Royal division. Although each of these divisions had been subjected to separate BCU inspection processes, the recommendations from each of the reports were carried forward to the new BCU structure.

  A mixed picture of performance indicates that there is scope for further improvement. While local tasking and co-ordinating processes have improved and there is a well embedded performance culture based on crime reduction and detection targets, better use could be made of incident analysis and PDR to achieve a greater understanding of problems and trends, and to focus both individual and team activity. Translating the ‘Putting People First’ philosophy into strategy is a critical first step in establishing a comprehensive point of reference to guide activity and measure performance.
