The PCC is focussing this plan on his six missions which are underpinned by objectives. The PCC recognises these missions and objectives will evolve over the period of the plan. His overarching mission is to make Bedfordshire safer and fairer.

 

This plan must be ambitious yet achievable. It must maximise impact and public benefit, have measurable outcomes, and be affordable within tight financial constraints.

This plan has two stages, October 2024 to March 2025, and April 2025 to May 2028. This document principally sets out the plan for stage one, with stage two being published in March 2025. Stage one will be a combination of some objectives and establishing the foundation for the longer term.

Some of the objectives will take much longer than four years to be realised, particularly those which require whole-system, cultural and behavioural change.
