Priorities

Safer Herefordshire undertake regular strategic reviews to identify local priorities.  Performance is monitored around these priorities against Government targets.

A priority area is identified through extensive research, including community consultation and the collection, gathering and analysis of data from many different agencies and sources.

Strategic priorities are then translated into action plans, which are implemented throughout the Partnership and its groups.

Safer Herefordshire's 2008 - 2011 strategic plan focuses on five key areas:

• Reducing crime through offender management and other interventions (including domestic abuse)
• Reducing drug and alcohol harm
• Promoting and delivering increased road safety
• Providing community reassurance on anti-social behaviour, disorder and crime
• Multi-agency and community dynamic tasking and co-ordination

Two other themes were identified as having such impact across all other areas, that they should be considered within each of the other five areas individually.  These are:

• Young people (victims and offenders)
• Violent crime
