Aiming for Excellence
AFE is Durham Constabulary’s organisational philosophy; it is the way we do our business which in turn enables us to achieve the Force Vision.
AFE consists of four elements:
- Team work
- Accountability
- Leadership
- Communication
These four elements enable us to achieve positive outcomes for our communities and ultimately increase their satisfaction and confidence in the force.

AFE has never been more important in ensuring we deliver a truly citizen-focused service which puts the customer at the heart of everything we do.
