Today the Government launched its ‘Beating Crime Plan’, which will give Police more resources to tackle crime and provide more support to those who fall victim to crime. This is on top of the 8,771 extra Police officers we have put on the streets.
Some of the new measures outlined today include:
- Giving every community a neighbourhood Police contact
- Greater use of electronic tags for criminals after prison
- Over £60m into stopping young people turn to a life of crime
- Expanded Stop and Search powers
- Knife Prevention Orders
