White Paper - Building Communities, Beating Crime: A better police service for the 21st century
Preventing, reducing and detecting crime; providing safety and security for law-abiding citizens and their families - this is what effective policing is about and it is at the heart of civil society. Working closely with the service, we have seen tangible development and achievements. There are record police officer numbers and 4,000 community support officers. Crime has fallen by 30% since 1997. We are cutting bureaucracy and making wider, better use of new technology and scientific techniques. We have embedded effective performance management throughout the service. Fear of crime is falling. Through more effective partnership working, use of new powers and best practice, we are getting a grip on anti-social behaviour. The chances of being a victim of crime are at the lowest level for over 20 years. This paper sets out a clear direction of change as we move into the second phase of reform – to deliver community policing for today’s world and face the new challenges of changing criminality.
