Police and Crime Plan 2017-2021

The Police and Crime Plan, updated in 2017, is the overriding strategy the police must work to. It will be in operation for the next four years and beyond the next election in 2020. You can read it on the OPCC website: https://www.gloucestershire-pcc.gov.uk/ Our priorities remain: • Accountability and accessibility • Older but not overlooked Video illustrations of some of the work being done under these headings are available through the links provided. All of these priorities are aimed not only at making Gloucestershire a good place in which to live, work and visit but also about ensuring a society that is fair, just and compassionate. Plans are also being drawn up for the delivery of two other important elements of the Police and Crime Plan - ‘A green and pleasant county for now and in the future’ which requires the Constabulary to operate in as responsible and sustainable a way as possible; and ‘A compassionate approach’, which extends to animals and their ability to enjoy a life free of cruelty and recognises the link between human wellbeing and animal welfare. • Safer days and nights • Safe and social driving • Safer cyber
