Chief Constable Rob Carden said: “Cumbria Police is committed to neighbourhood policing, which remains firmly at the heart of the organisation.
“Cumbria and its geography bring some unique policing challenges, with many rural communities and around 18 million visitors into the Lake District every year.
“These challenges highlight the real need for maintaining a positive relationship with our residents, business owners and visitors and building trust and confidence in our policing response.
“This pledge further reinforces our ongoing commitment to providing a quality policing service for the people of Cumbria through providing a visible policing presence and prompt response to issues you say matter the most.
“I am proud to be launching this new pledge today, in partnership with the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, which sets out how we will deliver this service to our communities and what our communities can expect from us.”
