£588,000 FUNDING BOOST TO TACKLE SERIOUS VIOLENCE ACROSS NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

£130.5m to tackle serious violence crime

I am delighted that Nottinghamshire Police will receive an extra £588,000 to tackle the violent crime that has been robbing too many young people of their futures.

The funding package will help to prevent some of the most serious types of crime, including knife crime and murder, and deliver safer communities across Gedling.

This funding ensures our police have all of the tools and resources they need to tackle violent crime and address its underlying causes in our community, whilst also funding vital early intervention programmes that do positive preventative work with children and young people.

By backing our police with the funding, powers and resources they need, this Conservative Government is keeping the public and our communities safe, so that residents across Gedling can live their lives free from the fear of crime.

Commenting, Home Secretary Priti Patel said:

“I am determined to cut crime and make our streets safer, which is why we are recruiting 20,000 more police officers, introducing new stop and search powers and giving the police the resources they need to go after the serious violent criminals causing misery in communities.

“But when it comes to gangs and serious violence, we must also tackle underlying causes. That is why we are investing in a new early intervention programme to stop young people committing these crimes in the first place.”
