Making Wiltshire Safer

Wiltshire and Swindon’s Police and Crime Plan 2022 – 2025

Since starting in this role, my mission has always been to make Wiltshire a safer place to live, work and visit.

Now is the time for Wiltshire Police, and my office, to go back-to-basics and deliver exactly what our residents want – a quality, frontline, policing service which tackles the crimes which matter most to them.

Making Wiltshire Safer sets out the direction for policing focus and priorities until 2025 as well as showing you the funding I receive and how it will be spent during my first term in office:

	Priority 1: A police service that meets the needs of its communities I am prioritising: Increasing public confidence, trust and our policing engagement with communities Provide a quality of police service to all our communities Giving the Police the right tools for the job
	Priority 2: Reduce violence and serious harm I am prioritising: Violence reduction and domestic abuse Violence Against Women and Girls Child abuse and Child Exploitation County Lines and Serious Organised Crime and exploitation
	Priority 3: Tackle crimes that matter most to local communities I am prioritising: Anti-social Behaviour Road safety Rural crime and heritage crime Fraud, cyber crime and hate crime
	Priority 4: Improve the experience of victims and deliver justice I am prioritising: Victim care and support Mental Health The criminal justice system Restorative Wiltshire Reduce re-offending

From the start, I was determined my police and crime plan – and the strategic policing blueprint for Wiltshire Police – would be informed by you, Wiltshire and Swindon’s residents, to deliver a service that you have told me is important to you and that you deserve. This is what has happened.

I consulted widely with the people of Wiltshire and Swindon via Use Your Voice and opportunities for you to download copies of the draft plan and participate in public discussions on social media.

I listened to our key stakeholders and partners using Focus Group sessions, and heard what the Chief Constable and colleagues within the Force telling me what needed to be included, during several internal meetings, before publishing my Police and Crime Plan – approved by Wiltshire and Swindon’s Police and Crime Panel.

Our new police and crime plan is as closely aligned with your concerns and aspirations as possible and this has been balanced with advice from the Chief Constable as well as

My office is currently working on the results from my Use Your Voice survey and we will publish the results here in the spring.

The Youth Commissioners also had great impact and their survey and report informed Making Wiltshire Safer from their perspective.
