LOCAL POLICING PLAN

 

Local Policing PlanEvery year Sussex Police Authority updates The Local Policing Plan (LPP) which sets the operational priorities and targets for Sussex Police in the coming years.

The Local Policing Plan for Sussex sets out what the Police Authority hopes to achieve for policing in East and West Sussex and Brighton & Hove in the year ahead.

In producing the Plan, we consult with local people. We are in no doubt that communities want to see more police out and about on the streets, they want the police to come quickly when they are needed in an emergency and they want the police to sort out anti­social behaviour in towns and villages.

The Authority's response is to provide in the Plan for the further improvement and development of neighbourhood policing in Sussex, something we know will be welcomed by residents. At the same time, the Plan seeks to enhance the ability of the police to deal with the most serious forms of crime, including threats to our national security.

The Plan includes some key targets, by which we can measure progress. During the year, the Authority will be monitoring the performance of Sussex Police against these targets and helping the Chief Constable to ensure that they are met.

In drawing up the Plan and the annual budget to support its achievement, the Authority has to balance the need to provide high quality policing and the cost of the service to local taxpayers. This is particularly important in the current economic situation. We believe we have got that balance right, but will be consulting widely across Sussex during the year ahead, seeking your views on how we are doing.
