  • Policing Northumbria
    Policing Northumbria 2009 – 2011 Joint Policing Plan of Contents Page Foreword 3 Introduction 4 Our Vision and Values 7 Our Objectives, how we will achieve them and 8 measures of progress Managing our Finances and Performance 32 How to Contact Us 40 Page 2 of 43 Foreword We are proud to say that, over the last three years, our success in reducing crime in Northumbria has continued. An 18% reduction in crime and a 30% reduction in anti­social behaviour demonstrate a policing service that is delivering our Policing Pledge and responding to your needs and those of the most vulnerable in our communities. We could not have achieved this alone. Without joint working with our partners, including local authorities, criminal justice agencies, fire and rescue and probation services, we would have been unable to deliver many of these improvements. We are not complacent. Value for money is important to everyone and we want you to feel that we use our resources in the most effective and efficient way. We believe this is demonstrated by Northumbria Police Authority setting one of the lowest council tax charges for local policing in the country and Northumbria Police remaining a top performing policing service. This is achieved by good organisation and leadership. Over the next three years, we will ensure that officers and staff have the, right skills, are in the right place and deliver the right service to local communities. We will preserve frontline policing services despite financial pressures and you will not see a reduction in officers on the beat or responding to incidents.
