Foreword
Alex Marshall, Chief Constable of Hampshire Constabulary
This policing plan continues with the priorities we have addressed over recent years. I am delighted that for the third year in a row crime has gone down and we have caught more criminals. When I became chief constable in 2008, local people told me what they wanted from Hampshire Constabulary. As a result, we have consistently focused
on reducing crime, striving to provide an excellent service and catching criminals and managing offenders. We look to protect the people of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight and put additional effort into protecting the most vulnerable.
The main request from local people has always been for me to place as many officers as possible out in local communities. Our neighbourhood policing teams are out in every part of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to work with you in solving issues of crime and anti-social behaviour.
The backdrop to these priorities over the coming year will be the need to make unprecedented savings in our budget. We are redesigning and reshaping the organisation to ensure we remain strong and stay within our reduced funding. We will need to make savings in many areas; these will include building costs, centralising some of our functions, collaborating with other forces and, where necessary, looking into outsourcing. We will have fewer senior managers and we will reorganise our policing structures to focus on local delivery.
Throughout the next 12 months, I undertake to preserve the total number of police officers and police community support officers in neighbourhood teams, the police officers who provide the 24-hour emergency response and the detectives who investigate local crime. I will ensure that despite the cuts we will not increase the workload of those who work in our public protection units.
The police authority will hold me to account to deliver against the priorities described in this annual plan.
