The Police & Crime Plan for Lancashire 2024-2029 - Page 14

Strategic Policing Requirement (SPR)

Police forces in England and Wales need to tackle a wide range of threats to keep the public safe. There are some that go beyond county boundaries and require police forces to provide a joint national response.

Commissioner Grunshaw and officers in Blackpool

A Strategic Policing Requirement has been produced by the Home Office in consultation with the National Police Chiefs’ Council. It describes the main national threats for England and Wales and requires each Police and Crime Commissioner and Chief Constable to provide sufficient resources to collectively meet the national threats:

  • Violence against women and girls
  • Terrorism
  • Serious and organised crime
  • A national cyber incident
  • Child sexual abuse
  • Public disorder
  • Civil emergencies

I will work with the Chief Constable to make sure Lancashire balances its requirement to meet national issues whilst protecting residents here in Lancashire.
