What we do
The Cheshire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) is here to make sure policing works for you. Setting the direction, making key decisions and holding the police to account so that crime is tackled, victims are supported and communities feel safe.
Commissioned services
The PCC provides funding for essential services that support victims of crime, help prevent offending and improve community safety. This includes specialist victim support, early intervention programmes and initiatives that help people feel and stay safe.
Community funding and grants
Through grants and community funding, the PCC invests in projects that make a real difference – whether that’s youth programmes, community projects or local organisations working to reduce crime – helping communities across the county to thrive.
Partnerships, networks and justice boards
The PCC brings together councils, charities, the NHS, the criminal justice system and other partners to address the causes of crime and strengthen support for those affected.
Collaboration is key to building safer, more resilient communities.
Police and Crime Plan and annual report
