HUMBERSIDE police and crime commissioner Matthew Grove has pledged to make the most of limited resources to help cut crime.
In the final version of his police and crime plan, Mr Grove said he will "do things differently" to ensure crime falls, despite stringent budget cuts.
Mr Grove said his priorities are reducing crime, protecting the public and improving safety and the quality of service for victims.
He said: "It is not just efficiencies we need to find, we must ensure we remain effective.
"I am very aware of the economic austerity facing local people, so I am determined to meet my priorities in a way that ensures taxpayers' money is spent wisely.
"Dealing with the necessary budget reductions and the commitment to deliver value for money provides me with a whole range of challenges.
"However, it does present opportunities as we examine what we do, what can be done differently and how we can combine all public resources to improve outcomes in the most efficient, effective and sustainable way."
The five-year plan was published yesterday after two months of public consultation, during which Mr Grove was criticised for his use of jargon.
Mr Grove said he wants members of the public to become more involved in the fight against crime, including by volunteering to become special constables.
He also wants to work closely with local authorities and other public services to share resources, including buildings, and to make better use of modern technology.
"Fundamentally, I have a simple view and it is that fighting crime is a team game," he said.
"The bigger your team, the more likely you are to win.
"It is so much more than just police officers, it is about empowering the community and making sure everyone across the region is focused on driving crime out of our communities.
"Better use of technology will also reduce bureaucracy and improve access to the police."
Mr Grove said he wants officers and staff to focus on reducing violent crime and reoffending, as well as increasing the use of restorative justice as punishment for criminals.
He said: "We need to increase the proportion of crimes that are solved and ensure more offenders are brought to justice and punished for their crime.
"However, punishment is often not enough to stop reoff-ending. Restorative justice techniques are not a soft option.
"Used properly, they bring much better satisfaction to victims and make reoffending much less likely."
