Making Wiltshire Safer

Wiltshire and Swindon’s Police and Crime Plan 2025 – 2029

My priority is to ensure Wiltshire remains a safe place to live, work, and visit, and I’m delighted to share with you the launch of our refreshed Making Wiltshire Safer: Police and Crime Plan for 2025-29.

This strategic blueprint has been shaped through detailed consultation with you, our residents, local stakeholders, and policing professionals with both local, regional and national input.

Together, we have created a plan that addresses the key challenges our communities face while continuing to improve policing services across Wiltshire.

The Police and Crime Plan 2025-29 focuses on four key priorities

	Priority 1: A Police Service that Meets Community Needs Enhancing visibility and responsiveness in your neighbourhoods. Building trust and confidence in Wiltshire Police.
	Priority 2: Reducing Violence and Serious Harm Tackling domestic abuse, sexual violence, and organised crime head-on. Proactively addressing issues that cause the greatest harm.
	Priority 3: Tackling Crimes that Matter Most to Communities Reducing anti-social behaviour, rural crime, and improving road safety.
	Priority 4: Improving the Experience of Victims and Delivering Justice Supporting victims throughout their journey. Ensuring justice is served efficiently and compassionately.

Building on Progress

This plan builds upon the successes of my previous strategy, Making Wiltshire Safer 2022-25, which laid the foundation for many of the improvements you’ve seen. Both I, and my office, have been working closely with Chief Constable Catherine Roper, to ensure Wiltshire Police has made significant strides, particularly in frontline visibility and better and improved outcomes for victims.

However, there’s still more work to be done. Transforming investigations, supporting victims, and providing a better public experience remain top priorities.

Listening to You

Your feedback has been invaluable in shaping this plan. Through focus groups, stakeholder engagement, and public consultations, we have aligned our goals with your concerns. The plan also reflects advice from operational policing experts and considers national policing priorities to ensure we are addressing current and emerging threats effectively.

Our Commitment

This is more than just a plan—it’s a commitment to you, our communities. By working together—residents, community groups, and the police—we can create stronger, safer neighbourhoods where everyone feels protected and valued.

I encourage you to read the full Police and Crime Plan 2025-29 and join me in this mission. Let’s make Wiltshire safer, together.

Next month, I will be launching the Use Your Voice: Police Precept survey and the police budget will be discussed in detail at Wiltshire and Swindon's Police and Crime Panel.

Thank you for your continued support.
