Prevention
Prevention statistics
Elected Police and Crime Commissioners are delivering prevention through their extensive partnership work, commissioning and grant making, and by holding chief constables to account.
The best way to prevent crime is to stop it happening in the first place and that is why PCCs have adapted a whole-system approach by working with partners across not just policing, but health, social care, local authorities, and charities. PCCs are also helping to end violence against women and girls (VAWG) by working closely with their chief constables in the delivery of local VAWG action plans.
We have welcomed the Government’s Safer Streets Fund which allows PCCs to work with local partners in areas that are disproportionately affected by neighbourhood crime, investing in preventative approaches to make communities safer.
