We are responsible for resourcing various Crime Initiative funding streams, through the Safer and Stronger Communities Fund.
The Safer and Stronger Communities Fund aims to reduce crime, reduce the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour and to reduce the harm caused by illegal drugs within our region.
The fund brings together a number of Home Office and Department for Communities and Local Government funding streams, such as:
- Building Safer Communities Fund
- Domestic Violence
- Neighbourhood and Street Wardens
