Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner brings together local agencies
£3.6m has been invested into local councils, the police and the Fire and Rescue Service
One of Humberside Police and crime commissioner’s focus’s this year is bring local agencies together to reduce crime.
£3.6m has been invested into local councils, the police and the fire and rescue service.
Police and Crime Commissioner Jonathan Evison says the partnerships will ease the pressures from officers who may be required for more serious jobs.
Each CSP has provided a business case to the Commissioner to set out their priorities over the next three years, which reflect the aims of the Commissioner’s Police and Crime Plan. A total of
£3.6m has been allocated until March 2025 to assist these plans and give partnerships more support for longer-term planning.
Jonathan Evison said:
“Partnership working is vital to achieve the aims of my Police and Crime Plan, reducing crime and anti-social behaviour and building safer communities can never be achieved by agencies working in isolation. Community Safety Partnerships bring together all organisations to find joint solutions and this three-year commitment will enable them to have more stability to establish programmes that will make a positive difference for all communities.”
Chief Superintendent Matthew Peach, Chair of North and North East Lincolnshire CSPs said:
“As a partnership we are grateful for the PCC giving the CSP the three-year commitment to ensure we take robust action to tackle crime and disorder and ensure the area remains a safe place to live, work and visit. The partnership is very active and this funding will allow for great initiatives to reduce crime and the fear of crime in this area.”
