Crime Reduction - Helping to Reduce Crime in Your Area

Where Local Area Agreements (LAAs) are in place it is the Local Strategic Partnership, in conjunction with other local partners, that determines priorities for funding and you will need to participate in discussions in that forum to agree how LAA funding will be spent.
Where LAAs are not yet in place, available funding is channelled through the Safer and Stronger Communities Fund. This fund brings together Home Office and Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) funding aimed at tackling crime, illegal drugs and anti-social behaviour, and improving the poor condition of streets and other public spaces and the quality of life for people in deprived areas. This is available to all CDRPs where LAAs are not in place.

The ENCAMS consultancy work is close to completion. The Home Office is reviewing the programme with a view to publishing and spreading good practice findings. A recent conference hosted by EnCams and the Home Office pulled together emerging good practice developed as a result of the programme. If you are interested in exploring EnCams support in your work outside of this programme, you can contact them direct to explore what opportunities are available.
