New measures to tackle serious violence and anti-social behaviour announced by Humberside Police
The Home Office has granted new funding of almost £1.4 million to tackle 'hotspot' areas
Humberside Police have announced new measures to tackle serious violence and anti social behaviour across their region.
It's after the Home office granted new funding of almost £1.4 million.
Police and crime commissioner Jonathan Evison says they'll target a number of hotspots where there have been problems by bringing in what are described as "targeted initiatives".
There'll be a range of measures which will include extra officers in those certain areas whilst also working with local councils and community organisations on tackling issues.
In addition Mr Evison has announced plans to "streamline" the justice system in the region.
He says that's designed to make the process quicker and more efficient for victims and offenders alike.
PCC Jonathan Evison commented:
"I am committed to tackling serious violence and ASB in our communities, and this funding will enable us to take proactive steps to address these issues head on.
"By investing in targeted initiatives and developing new solutions, we can make a real difference in improving the safety and well-being of our residents."
