Police and Crime Plan 2025-2029

The meeting was scheduled to include a discussion of the draft Police and Crime Plan 2025-2029, prepared by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire. This plan outlines the strategic priorities and objectives for policing in Hertfordshire over the next four years. The report pack indicated that the panel would be reviewing the proposed direction and focus of the plan, which aims to address crime and community safety across the county.

Precept for 2026-2027

A key item on the agenda was the proposed precept for the financial year 2026-2027. The precept is the amount of money that the PCC raises through council tax to fund policing services. The report pack detailed the PCC's recommendations regarding the level of the precept, which would impact the overall police budget.
