As the Police and Crime Commissioner, the strategy which sets the strategic direction of Devon & Cornwall Police is technically my plan- and I have a legal obligation to produce it- but in reality it is yours, with the challenges, problems and risks you told me mattered most to you highlighted in four clear priority areas. 

What my office and the police have achieved in the term of office which ends in a few weeks, is laid out in an End of Term Report which I have published on my office's website. The report is designed to help the public hold me and the force to account for areas of performance where there is room for improvement too.

One of my priorities this term has been drugs, and here real progress has been made under the banner of Operation Scorpion, which on Friday (March 15) completed its seventh iteration. It is a joined-up approach to keeping drugs out of the South West and was created by five Police and Crime Commissioners in the region, supported by their Chief Constables. See the following news article on the Devon and Cornwall Police website for more information on the successes of the seventh iteration of Operation Scorpion.

With the new financial year approaching, my office has distributed a leaflet which explains how Devon and Cornwall Police will be funded for the next financial year, the implications for your council tax bill and the strategic direction of the force: https://devonandcornwall.s3.amazonaws.com/Documents/Our%20information/KeyDocs2024/Council%20tax%20leaflet%2024-25%20UPDATED.pdf
