1 Examples of Organisational Objectives 1. Essex Policing Plan 1999/2000 Organisational Objectives Boundary Changes In June 1998, the Home Secretary decided to change the boundaries of Essex Police, which will be enlarged to take in Chigwell, Buckhurst Hill, Loughton, Waltham Abbey and Debden. The target date for these changes is 1st April 2000, which coincides with the creation of the London Police Authority. A project team is working closely with the Metropolitan Police to ensure the smooth handover of the area. The Millennium We are preparing for an increased workload during the 'Year 2000' celebrations. Potential failure of computer systems which cannot cope with the date change, and the large number of events organised, may create heavy demands on the police. All police leave has been cancelled during the period and contingency plans have been drawn up so that the deployment of resources can be effectively managed. We have also prepared an audit of our own IT systems with particular emphasis on network and radio communication. This testing strategy has been based on accredited standards. The Essex Police internet site has full details of preparations for the millennium. Best Value Strategy We are committed to maintaining tight control over expenditure and are set to achieve real savings through increased efficiency, without adversely affecting operational capability. Therefore, best value will underpin every area of activity. We will challenge traditional ways of providing services; compare performance against other similar forces as well as our own targets, and use competition to ensure support services are delivered in a cost effective manner. Policing Rural Essex New community policing teams are being introduced across the rural sections of Essex to improve community safety in the countryside. Following an extensive review of the existing detached beat system, and a three-month period of public consultation, the new teams will become operational at the end of April The community policing teams maintain the strong links forged by having a nominated officer for each area, reinforced by back up and support from the rest of the team when this officer is unavailable. Based at section stations within their area, the teams will work with the community to identify and deliver crime reduction measures and solutions to community safety problems.

2 Youth Offending Teams In support of the Government's intention to reduce youth crime, Essex Police remains fully committed to tackling these problems through the implementation of Youth Offending Teams. Throughout 1999 we shall be working with partner groups to establish, across Essex, a total of six such teams which are to be fully operational by 1st April 2000, in line with the Government's requirement. By providing a multi-agency approach, Youth Offending Teams will offer services, assessment and support to those actively involved in crime and anti-social behaviour. The coming year will provide the opportunity to develop best practice in programmes which will be designed to prevent children and young people from future offending. 2.
