The Home Office assessed forces on reducing crime, investigating crime, promoting safety, providing assistance, citizen focus, resource use and local policing. The results were turned into a league table, by awarding the forces points according to whether they were rated excellent, good, fair or poor in each area. The Home Office does not produce such a league table itself. | POLICE PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS 2005/06 | | | FORCE | POINTS | RANK | | Staffordshire | 18 | 1 | | Northumbria | 17 | 2 | | City of London | 14 | =3 | | Dorset | 14 | =3 | | Dyfed-Powys | 14 | =3 | | Hertfordshire | 14 | =3 | | Lancashire | 14 | =3 | | Leicestershire | 14 | =3 | | North Wales | 14 | =3 | | Surrey | 14 | =3 | | West Yorkshire | 14 | =3 | | Durham | 13 | =12 | | North Yorkshire | 13 | =12 | | Thames Valley | 13 | =12 | | West Mercia | 13 | =12 | | Avon and Somerset | 12 | =16 | | Essex | 12 | =16 | | Hampshire | 12 | =16 | | Merseyside | 12 | =16 | | Metropolitan Police | 12 | =16 | | South Yorkshire | 12 | =16 | | Sussex | 12 | =16 | | West Midlands | 12 | =16 | | Cumbria | 11 | =24 | | Devon and Cornwall | 11 | =24 | | Kent | 11 | =24 | | Cambridgeshire | 10 | =27 | | Derbyshire | 10 | =27 | | Gloucestershire | 10 | =27 | | South Wales | 10 | =27 | | Suffolk | 10 | =27 | | Wiltshire | 10 | =27 | | Greater Manchester | 9 | =33 | | Gwent | 9 | =33 | | Norfolk | 9 | =33 | | Cheshire | 8 | 36 | | Bedfordshire | 7 | =37 | | Cleveland | 7 | =37 | | Warwickshire | 7 | =37 | | Lincolnshire | 5 | 40 | | Nottinghamshire | 4 | 41 | | Humberside | 3 | =42 | | Northamptonshire | 3 | =42 | | Source: Press Association, based on Home Office figures |
