Police and Crime Plan

The Police and Crime Plan for 2025-29 was published on the 31st March 2025. You can read the Police and Crime Plan here.

The draft version of the plan was approved by the Police and Crime Panel by PCC Joy Allen on the 26th March 2025. The Police and Crime Plan sets out the PCC’s Vision, the outcomes they wish to achieve, along with key priority areas which will be the focus over the life of the plan. The PCC has reached out to the communities in the Durham Police area to understand exactly what areas of crime matter most to residents and impact on their quality of life.

The results have enabled Commissioner Allen to develop a robust four-year action plan to help make County Durham and Darlington safer, stronger and more resilient to crime, drugs and anti-social behaviour.
