A meeting of Sussex Police Authority this week will decide how much money Council Tax payers will pay in the next financial year for the policing of Sussex.
The recommended rise for 2010-11 is of 7 pence per week, per average Band D household. The Authority and Sussex Police have worked hard in making sustainable efficiency savings totalling £7.3m which has enabled the Authority to agree 31 additional Neighbourhood Policing officers.
The Authority is an independent body that has responsibility for appointing Chief Officers of Sussex Police, setting the policing budget, scrutinising Force performance, ensuring that Sussex voices are able to shape the Local Policing Plan and overseeing that Sussex Police deliver their Serving Sussex Pledge.
Performance, and our ability to manage it, is key to informing and reassuring the people of Sussex about policing in the County. The Authority sets priorities for Sussex Police in the Local Policing Plan and monitors delivery against those targets. Click here to find out more about the performance of Sussex Police
