Additional funds secured

In 2024-25, the PCC secured the following funds to deliver community safety initiatives, reduce crime and re-offending and support victims of crime.

How this helps Cheshire

This extra funding is used to deliver a wide range of community safety and crime reduction activities including:

• supporting victims of crime with specialist services
• preventing serious violence and domestic abuse
• improving safety in local neighbourhoods
• tackling anti-social behaviour and harm hotspots

Why extra funds matter

Extra funding means more services, projects and activities that focus on:

• community safety and early intervention
• helping people affected by crime
• preventing crime before it happens
• supporting long-term improvements in local areas

It also shows that the PCC is actively seeking money from a wide range of sources to benefit Cheshire residents, not just relying on the regular police budget.
