Extra money to tackle burglary and robbery
Published: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:13:13
A crackdown on prolific offenders, free security devices for the public and targeted police operations to follow convicted burglars and disrupt the sale of stolen goods are some of the actions being funded in 35 areas to tackle burglary and robbery, Home Office Minister Alan Campbell announced today.
The initiatives are part of Government plans to provide tough action in 35
areas across the country that are facing emerging challenges in burglary and
robbery.
The Vigilance Programme helps deliver pre-emptive support, training and
additional resources to those areas. The taskforce has worked with each area to
develop a strategy to address emerging issues and has awarded them grants from
the £4.4 million fund to implement new action.
