Good morning. The Police and Crime Commissioner, Alison Hernandez, has published her plan for Devon and Cornwall Police for the next four years.
The aim of the plan is to reduce violence and anti-social behaviour, and Ms Hernandez wants the force to focus on theft, alcohol-related offences, and rural crimes. She especially wants the police to do more to protect women and girls from harm.
The plan also sets out how the force鈥檚 performance will be measured in achieving these aims.
Additionally, His Majesty鈥檚 Inspectorate of Constabularies has said that Devon and Cornwall police needs to do more to record crimes efficiently, and to answer telephone calls more quickly.
"I want a police force that our communities can trust and be proud of鈥, said Ms Hernandez.

Scientists at Plymouth University have been studying sand dunes all over Cornwall to try to predict the effect of climate change on our coastline. But, according to a report published by them, the dunes are not developing as foreseen.
As we know, storms are becoming stronger and more frequent, and the researchers noticed that some dunes were retreating, as predicted. However, there were some others which had grown.
At Par Sands, for example, since 2007, the dunes grew by about one metre a year, but at Crantock, they had retreated by about three metres in total.
The report concluded that it was necessary to consider each system individually, rather than try to provide a general prediction for the whole coastline.

The postmaster of Bude Post Office, Luke Francis, has flown more than 4,000 miles to hand-deliver to his great-aunt a 100th birthday card, sent to her by King Charles and Queen Camilla.
His great-aunt, Emlyn Makofsky, now lives in Florida. But, she grew up in Morwenstow, before becoming a nurse during the Second World War and moving to Newquay.
She met her American husband at RAF St Mawgan in 1945 and then emigrated to the USA.
Emlyn was longing to eat a Cornish pasty, so, the day after her birthday, Mr Francis baked one for her. And, according to Luke, she was delighted with it because it brought back to her memories of the 鈥榦ld days鈥 yn Cornwall.
And that鈥檚 all from me for this week. Until next time!
