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 by the Partnership and its member groups.
During the 2008 - 2011 Strategic Plan, we successfully met the following objectives:
| Target | Outcome |
| Increase the number of people (Problematic Drug User's) in effective drug treatment by 6% by 2011 | Currently on course to meet / exceed the target set by the National Treatment Agency (NTA) |
| Reduce the number of anti-social behaviour (ASB) incidents reported to the Police by 10% by 2011 | Currently on course to achieve a 15% reduction in ASB since 2007 / 2008 |
| Reduce incidents of criminal damage by 10% by 2011 | Currently on course to achieve a 30% reduction in criminal damage incidents since 2007 / 2008 |
| Reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured in road traffic accidents on the county's roads | Those killed or seriously injured on Herefordshire’s roads have more than halved since 2008 |
| Reduce all recorded crime by 8% by 2011 | Currently on course to achieve a 13% reduction in all recorded crime since 2007 / 2008 |
Our new 2011 - 2014 Strategic Plan will focus on four key areas:
