Putting victims at the heart of what we do is a key commitment in our Police and Crime Plan. To deliver that service to victims and help the cope and recover we work with other agencies to deliver against the commitments in the current Victim's' Code.

No victim of crime should be a victim of the process.
We need your help to improve the rights of victims, whether or not they choose to report a crime.
The nature of crime is changing, and we must keep up.

Roger Hirst, Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex has welcomed the new legal duty on public bodies to work together to tackle and prevent serious violence.
“As public bodies we all have a role to play in keeping our communities safe and protecting the vulnerable. In Essex, by working together we have put together a comprehensive programme of activity to identify and support those people who are vulnerable to being drawn into a life of crime. At the same time we have continued to robustly crack down on those individuals bringing violence into our towns and cities.
“Only by working together can we create the safe and secure communities we all want and that means all public bodies need to step up, be vigilant and support our efforts to tackle serious violence.
“Within the emergency services we have seen how strong legislative action by the government can make a huge practical difference in how services work together on the ground. The same needs to happen with a much wider range of public bodies and I welcome this strong commitment by the government to create the right legislative environment for these relationships to grow.”
