Key National Priorities for Policing
The Home Office has developed a range of National Crime and Policing Measures to help focus effort on key national priorities, allowing performance to be measured and help to demonstrate value for money in policing. The Government has been clear that they must achieve significant reductions in crime and restore the public’s confidence in the criminal justice system.
How our local priorities will contribute towards the national priorities
Our Police and Crime Plan priorities takes account of the national priorities through a focus on a number of local outcomes including:
- Reducing the impact of drugs on our communities
- Reducing high-harm offending/reoffending by working together to protect the most vulnerable in society
- Education and support for young people, preventing them being impacted by crime
- Reduced harm through sustainable interventions aimed at domestic abuse perpetrators
- Greater trust and confidence in urban, rural and coastal areas
- Organisations equipped to respond to evolving crime issues
- Place-based approaches that respond to community safety issues
- Better partnership working
What the National Crime and Policing Measures area and what they do
- Designed to support the police role in the Government’s crime reduction ambition, understanding that the police cannot achieve this ambition alone.
- Address key priorities: murder, serious violence, domestic abuse, neighbourhood crime and drugs supply/county lines.
- Measured at a national level using metrics such as the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) to minimise the administrative burden on forces and respect their autonomy.
- Create an expectation of significant improvements within 3 years, showing clear improvements against indicators.
- Include a range of metrics to reduce risk of over-prioritisation and perverse incentives – reflecting as far as possible the breadth of crime activity with which the police are faced.
The national measures are as follows:
