PCC Rupert Matthews announces £200k boost to support delivery of his Police and Crime Plan

Police and Crime Commissioner Rupert Matthews has announced plans to invest a further £200k in community crime prevention to support his mission to build safe and prosperous communities.

As the PCC unveiled his new Police and Crime Plan, he vowed to give voluntary and community organisations a pivotal role in his plans to make Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland stronger and more resilient to crime, announcing a fresh wave of grants from his Commissioner's Safety Fund. 

Building on the achievements of his first term in office, the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland PCC has drawn up a new four-year blueprint that promises to get tough on the problems that matter most to residents and businesses.

The Plan, which has received full endorsement from the Police and Crime Panel, has been shaped by the views and feedback of almost 3,000 residents and more than 1,100 key partners and stakeholders during the PCC's recent online consultation.

It identifies six key priority areas: Violence and Vulnerability, Road Safety, Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), Neighbourhood Crime, Business Crime and Rural Crime.
