Meeting Your Priorities for Policing

 

Cheshire Police Authority is sounding out public opinion on possibilities for the Chief Constable′s policing objectives for 2012/13.

Public consultation at a series of Roadshows during December and January is a key factor in the decisions the Authority will take. People are also being asked to express their views by email or by letter.

Listening to people′s views about policing and where they feel the police should focus their time and effort is an important part of the Authority′s role. During 2011 we have gathered the views of more than 1,300 members of the public about their priorities for policing and about police services.

The results show that the top 5 areas described as ‘essential′ by the public are:

  • responding to emergency calls
  • detecting crime and arresting offenders
  • tackling violent crime
  • tackling organised crime and terrorism
  • targeting drug dealers

The Authority has considered the results of the consultation and the priorities set for policing by the Coalition Government.

Each year, this process helps the Authority decide the key policing objectives which will be published in the Authority′s Policing Plan.

We then scrutinise the Constabulary′s performance against the objectives throughout the year. The proposed objectives for the coming year are:-

1. Respond as an emergency service and improve the way we care for individuals and the public and protect our communities from serious harm

2. Understand and strive to meet the expectations of the people of Cheshire

3. Maintain the trust and confidence of the public

4. Work with the public and our partners to reduce those crimes and acts of anti-social behaviour which the public are concerned about

5. Continue to increase the level of positive outcomes, provide the best care for victims and witnesses and work effectively with our partners to reduce re-offending

6. Improve the efficiency of our people and make best use of resources to prevent waste and duplication.

The Authority is asking people to comment on these proposals at the road shows being held across Cheshire in December 2011 and January 2012. Alternatively, the public can comment on the proposed objectives by sending an e.mail to police.authority@cheshire.pnn.police.uk , or by writing to us at: Cheshire Police Authority, Clemonds Hey, Oakmere Road, Winsford, CW7 2UA.

All comments must be received by no later than Friday 3 February 2012.
