Protecting People
In order to protect people from the most serious offences, we will seek to prevent crime in the first place; relentlessly pursuing criminals who pose a threat to others and supporting victims to guide them through the Criminal Justice System and rebuild their lives.

• Make our towns and cities safer at night time

• Continue to drive down serious violence

Protecting Property
Although crimes, such as burglary, are at historically low levels and have fallen since before the pandemic, the impact is significant and public confidence is undermined if the police are not seen to tackle these issues.

• Tackling retail crime such as shoplifting

• Reducing vehicle crime

• Dealing with rural crime

• Improving prevention to reduce cyber crime and fraud
