Sussex Police, like every other public sector organisation, needs to make big savings in the coming years. It is currently estimated that the Force will need to find savings of approximately £52 million by 2015.

We have now entered into a new performance year in Brighton & Hove and it is perhaps an opportune moment to reflect on our results from the previous year.
One of our key aims was to continue reducing crime in the city, making it an even safer place for you to live, work and visit. It proved to be a challenge in light of the current economic situation we are experiencing and the fact that we have achieved so much already in previous years. However, I am delighted to say that we reduced crime by a further 3.1% compared to 2008/09. This may not seem a huge amount but it means that there were 774 fewer offences over the year
