The Plan details the joint Authority and Suffolk Constabulary Vision, Mission and Values, together with their Strategic Ambition for the next three years.

It takes local and national influences into account, balancing these with force priorities and financial constraints. Key priorities for this year are grouped under the headings of ‘Confidence and Satisfaction’, ‘Local Crime and Policing’ and ‘Protecting People from Serious Harm’. The Authority agrees a range of local performance indicators to consistently monitor the performance of the Constabulary. Targets are set for each of the indicators and these, together with a range of Objectives and Activities, are how the Constabulary will achieve its priorities in 2010/11. Suffolk Police Authority Three-Year Plan 2010-13 881kb (pdf).
