Prevention and rehabilitation

Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) have a vital leadership role in galvanising the local response to preventing crime and serious violence, identifying vulnerability in their communities, and targeting support to prevent crime from happening. They work with local partners in areas relating to vulnerability such as social care, mental health, drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness, and police custody. Safer Streets funding has enabled PCCs to use their local knowledge of where investment is most needed, alongside their unique abilities to bring partners together to make our streets safer.

Safer Streets is an initiative supported by the Police and Crime Commissioner. It has enabled the community to improve street security through installing more streetlighting and placing CCTV in areas of crime and anti-social behaviour.

Through the Safer Streets initiative:
🔵 520 homes have been made safer by target hardening
🔵 11 tonnes of waste have been removed
🔵 30 alleyways have been cleared, with 16 new gates installed and 14 locks repaired.

Young people who have suffered violence are receiving immediate support from trained youth workers in A&E or on a hospital ward, thanks to a Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) funded scheme.

"Funding from our project comes from the Police and Crime Commissioner to keep our staff team and the amazing project going for the young people that we work with and the hospital trusts that we're now embedded within to keep our services going."

PCCs work with local partners in areas relating to vulnerability such as social care, mental health, drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness, and police custody.

Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) fund and support initiatives like Business Crime Reduction Partnerships (BCRPs) to help reduce crime and anti-social behaviour that affect local businesses. BCRPs enable local businesses to feel confident in reporting crime and know that they have a voice.
