Police and Crime Plan

The Police and Crime Plan outlines the Police and Crime Commissioner's ambition in bringing together the police and wider partners more effectively to reduce crime, improve community safety and support victims of crime across Essex.

It is the first Police and Crime Plan prepared by a Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Essex and builds upon previous Policing Plans jointly prepared by Essex Police and Essex Police Authority.

The Plan focuses on the issues including domestic abuse and alcohol, drugs and re-offending which drive so much crime including anti-social behaviour, violent crime and burglary. It also focuses on the approaches that will deliver effective crime reduction and fewer casualties on our roads.

Nick Alston, Police and Crime Commissioner for Essex, said: “The Police and Crime Plan sets out key areas of focus for Essex Police and partner organisations.  Our shared aim is to reduce crime so that there are fewer victims of crime in our county.”
