The Commissioner has developed this Police & Crime Plan in consultation with members of the public and partners in Sussex to ensure that the police and crime priorities contained within accurately reflect the policing, crime and community safety issues important to them.
The Plan will remain a living document and will be reviewed and refreshed periodically to ensure that it continues to accurately reflect local and national priorities.
Why does the PCC set a plan?
The Commissioner has a statutory duty to set the policing and crime objectives for their police force area through a Police & Crime Plan.
The Sussex Police & Crime Plan sets out the strategic policing direction for our county with objectives for how policing services will be delivered in Sussex up to 2028.
The Commissioner has developed three Public Priorities for 2024/28:
Public Priority 1 – Prevent crime and support victims and witnesses.
Public Priority 2 – Investigate crime and bring offenders to justice.
Public Priority 3 – Improve trust in policing and build public confidence.
