Merseyside Police Authority publishes its Policing Plan for 2009-12

The Policing Plan for 2009-12 agreed at a recent Police Authority meeting has been published on the Merseyside Police Authority website.

Jointly owned by the Police Authority and Merseyside Police, the Plan clearly maps out Merseyside's policing priorities for the period 2009 -12. It explains how these priorities were arrived at, and details how they will be successfully implemented.

The Plan highlights how community consultation played a key role and describes how, along with national priorities, it forms the policing future for Merseyside.

Chair of MPA, Bill Weightman said: "Community consultation is an integral part of what we do as an Authority. This Plan could not have been achieved without involving local people and working closely with community representatives. We are confident we can rise to the challenges laid out in the Plan and determined not to let the people of Merseyside down."

Everyone can have a say on the Plan as it is now available online with a feedback form attached.

In addition, every household in Merseyside will receive a Policing Plan Summary later in the year with a freepost feedback form included.

The publication is also available in several languages and formats, details of which can be found on the website.
