The Office of the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Cumbria is committed to providing the highest quality of policing services to the people of Cumbria. This is done in a constantly changing and challenging environment and therefore a strategy is in place to set out how arrangements are in place to manage risks.

Risk management involves the identification, assessment and prioritisation of risks and taking action to control, minimise and monitor them. Risks are threats that have the potential to impact on our organisation and the delivery of objectives and services.

A Risk Management Strategy has been developed and approved by the OPFCC Executive Team.

The Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner presents a quarterly report to the Joint Audit Committee on its current strategic risks and how these are being managed. You can read the Joint Audit Committee reports.
