David Keane, Police & Crime Commissioner for Cheshire, is setting out his vision for policing in Cheshire as he publishes his Police & Crime Plan which will run from 2016 to 2021.

David said: "Making sure that residents, community leaders and our partners have a strong voice in the development of the Plan was a major focus for me as soon as I came into office. I have been delighted to get so many responses and I am pleased that the level of support for the priorities and commitments set out in the Plan has been overwhelming.

"The Plan sets out the priorities which the Chief Constable will deliver and how we will work together with partners to make sure people feel safe in their homes and their communities. The legacy will be; a police service fit for the future which is connected and accessible to local communities; services supporting victims and protecting the vulnerable; and a clear focus on preventing crime and anti-social behaviour."

In order to deliver safer communities for the people of Cheshire, the Commissioner has set four priorities for policing:

  • A Police service connected with our communities
  • Support victims and protect vulnerable people
  • Prevent crime and anti-social behaviour
  • A Police service fit for the future

On publishing the Police & Crime Plan, the Commissioner has confirmed that he is now developing a range of measures and actions to monitor the success of achieving the priorities.

The Commissioner outlined: "I have always said that I want to make policing in Cheshire more transparent and accountable to the public. I will be acting as the public's elected representative in holding the Chief Constable to account and I think it is only right that the public have access to information that allows them to see how their police service is doing."

In conclusion he commented: "I will continue to be your voice in policing and will be listening to what you think of policing in the county and will refresh the Plan as required to make sure it remains relevant and delivers even safer communities for the whole of Cheshire."
