Crime Prevention Fund 2022/23
Posted on: August 11, 2022
The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner’s vision for Essex is to ensure that safe and secure communities are the bedrock on which we build success and well-being for all. The Police and Crime Plan makes a clear strategic commitment to prevention, a shift in our main effort from rapid response into a model of targeted prevention and early intervention. To support the new Police and Crime Plan and to deliver the vision for the PFCC has created a Crime Prevention Fund.
This £200,000 fund offers grants of up to £20,000 for community projects that help to deliver effective approaches to prevent crime from happening in the first place, to reduce overall crime and to keep our communities safe.
Applications to the fund must demonstrate activity that prevent crime inline with one of the twelve Police and Crime Plan priorities. This can include projects that:
- Recognise and welcome the increased diversity of Essex and support communities to work together and prevent crime by encouraging reporting, identifying problem areas and target prevention activity.
- Provide extra support and early intervention for people with additional needs or who are at increased risk of becoming victims of crime
- Collaborate with rural communities and partners to understand rural communities and their issues in order to prevent crime
- Work to reduce the fear women feel in their communities and support projects that make public space free from abuse and harassment
The March 22/23 round has now closed. Details to follow soon about future funding rounds.
