In a special 2006 report, the Department for Communities and Local Government, along with the Arson Control Forum, identified that only 9% of arson cases recorded by the police resulted in an offender being identified. The conviction rate (3%) was even lower, and as a result, Fire and Rescue Services, and the Police, were asked to jointly focus on improving multi-agency investigation of deliberate fires, to help increase the detection and conviction rates of arsonists. Having secured funding via the Hampshire County Council Local Public Service Area Agreement 2, (LPSA2); Hampshire’s Arson Task Force (ATF) went “live” in June 2007. The Hampshire ATF is an intelligence-led unit which exists to detect and prevent deliberate fires (arson), reduce risk to life and property, and enhance arson investigation via tactical response and appropriate support.
