Keeping people safe
GOAL
To provide safe communities
Where the police, partners and society work together to tackle crime and antisocial behaviour and to protect vulnerable people.
APPROACH
We will work with public services, the third sector and the public to understand issues and solve problems
We will seek to identify and fill gaps that affect public safety in our communities. Driven by evidence in deciding our priorities. We will support others to act and challenge actions where needed.
PLAN
Six key elements
We believe that our work to keep communities safe should be based around six key elements that will help to make the public safe within that community. Many of the actions that need to be taken will help contribute to more than one of these overarching components.

APPROACH
We will think innovatively about policing
We will be open to all collaboration and improvement opportunities and will think innovatively about policing. We expect partners to play their part - we will support them to do so but will challenge inaction. We welcome scrutiny of our work.

Getting the best out of the police
The Police and Crime Commissioner’s vision for the 2016-2020 Police and Crime Plan has two core strands.
On behalf of the people of Devon and Cornwall the PCC will act (individually and jointly), commission, scrutinise and campaign to deliver this plan.
In developing the plan we are driven by four overriding principles:
- That we must work together to keep the people of Devon and Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly safe – and ensure in particular, that we protect and support the most vulnerable people
- That everyone has a part to play in keeping their community safe – we need to encourage the public and wider community to work alongside us to keep people safe
- That we must recognise that in order to effectively tackle crime – we must look at the victim, the offender and the location – and take steps in all three areas
- That we focus on delivering quality, connected, services to our communities – spending public money wisely and in ways that will have a real impact
