The past year has presented a number of significa￿t thalleng¢s for Ihbver Parttkrship Against Crijne (DPAC).
Membership nwnbers declined. primarily due to the difficult economic climate # necessary increase in membership
fees.
Incideni reporting and engagement with our website was lower than 8nticipate(L particularly amongst retail businesses,
although the Pub Watch element of our operation continued to wforni well. The resignation of our Chaimian, followed
by the departure of ttvo Board mernbers, together with a worseJung fll)aDciai positio]4 raised concerns about the future of
the orgallisation.
During the year, a techDical issue afFecting the radio system requwed ￿gent attention. Whilst challengin& thts provided
an opportunity to relocate our Dover base statiOTL ensuring the continued reliability and ￿si[1¢n¢e of the service at a
reduced cost. At this critical time. GraI￿n Tutthill, a fornfft Chainnan of DPAC. came out of retiremeut to WOEk

Thanks to the dedication 8nd persistence of our Treasurer and C0-(￿dI￿t0l, 5everdl overdue payments and
long-out5tanding debts were successfulty recov¢red. As a resuI4 DPAC ended the year in a better financial positiO)L With

steadily, and we are developing a llumttr of ex¢iling initiatives that will support future growth and enhance the servites
