Members noted that there were a large amount of dockets on detectives' desks and commented that no person can work on thirty or more dockets at once. Thus, concern was raised towards the improper storage of case dockets and that the threat that someone might walk past and swipe one or more of the dockets existed. The caseload of dockets at the time of the visit was 850. The smallest caseload per detective was 53, and the highest was 143. The oldest docket that was still open, was for theft of a motor vehicle in 2003. The detection rate on rape was 66.67%, murder 36.86%, house robberies 72.73%, business robberies 76.92% and assault GBH was 85.71%. The station could not provide the conviction rate. The station had experienced problems with incorrectly formulated charges and poor statement- taking. The problems were being addressed through workshops that were taking place at the time of the visit.
