Reducing crime
Reducing crime is a fundamental priority for the public. It is more than just statistics. Instead it is a commitment to improve the lives and wellbeing of people who live, work, study and visit Cheshire.
Safe communities attract business, tourism and residents, contributing to a thriving local economy. It’s about creating an environment where people feel confident to live, work and raise their families.
Another key strand of tackling crime is to reduce re-offending. Work is being done in this space to help ex-offenders become standing members of their communities.
