Believe that successful continued provision of good policing services requires application of three principles. We must:
* Innovate in partnership
* Maintain a countywide and regional view
* Seek every opportunity to secure new infrastructure capital funding, especially Community Infrastructure Levy and Developer Contributions (section 106, Planning Act 2008).
Achieving the necessary enhancements in infrastructure will present a particular challenge for policing due to funding structure of police forces; both local funding via the police authority precept of the council tax and central funding via the 'funding formula' are provided for ongoing policing services. As such there is no surplus that could be diverted towards capital projects.
