My Vision “To achieve excellence in local policing and the highest levels of public confidence by working alongside communities and partners to address what matters locally”.

Outcomes that I want to achieve  Making local communities and the victims of crime feel empowered through:  Involving them in the design/redesign of local police and crime services  Listening to their feedback in the evaluation of service delivery  Defining services that match the needs our communities have identified to us - underpinned by my personal commitment to work with and for our communities

Outcomes that I want to achieve  Maximising the benefits of partnerships through the use of innovative shared working arrangements to tackle and prevent crime at its source.  Using our resources intelligently to ensure what we do is both efficient and effective.

My Personal Priorities  To reduce the impact of Domestic Abuse, particularly violence against women and girls.  To reduce the impact of Hate Crime  To improve engagement with local communities across the Constabulary area

Domestic Abuse  More than 1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse often with years of psychological abuse  This is potentially 78,399 females across the Force Area  12,899 in Darlington  65,500 in Durham  The financial cost of violence against women and girls in the UK is £37.6bn

Domestic Abuse  I am personally committed to implementing the Government’s “Call to end violence against women and girls” action plan. Specifically:  Preventing such violence from happening by challenging the attitudes and behaviours which foster it and intervening early where possible to prevent it;  Providing adequate levels of support where violence does occur;  Working in partnership to obtain the best outcome for victims and their families; and  Taking action to reduce the risk to women and girls who are victims of these crimes and ensure that perpetrators are brought to justice.

Hate Crime  Targeting people because of their:  Race, ethnic origin, nationality  Religion  Sexual orientation  Disability  Gender identity  71 average number of reported incidents over a 3 month period across Durham & Darlington  Doorstep campaign indicates high level of under reporting

Hate Crime  I am personally committed to:  Raising awareness and working with the Chief Constable to make it easier to report hate crimes and hate incidents  Making sure that the victims of hate crimes and hate incidents receive the best possible support  Working with partner agencies to make sure that we all respond effectively to hate crimes and hate incidents
