NY Policing Plan 2008-11
|
- To secure an efficient and effective police
service on behalf of the local community
- To consult with the local community about
its policing needs and priorities
- To hold the Chief Constable to account for
police performance, on behalf of local people
- To ensure that there is continuous improvement
in the delivery of the police service in our
area.
The Authority works with the Chief Constable
to prepare a 3 year strategy for the development
of the service and an annual Policing Plan which
sets out the way in which the Chief Constable
will police the area having regard to the Home
Secretary's national policing priorities and
the local priorities determined by the Police
Authority. This document is called NY Policing Plan.
The NY Policing Plan leaflet can also be viewed by clicking here.
The Authority also has its own Business Plan outlining the Authority's vision, mission, objectives and priorities for improvement.
