A national Safer Streets Summer Initiative is running from 30 June until the end of September 2025, focusing on reducing town centre criminality, shoptheft, street crime and anti-social behaviour across the UK.
The Safer Streets Summer Initiative is being led by Police and Crime Commissioners
(PCCs), supported by the Home Office in partnership with Chief Constables and other essential local partners such as councils, schools, health services, business, transport and community organisations. Forces will be harnessing £66m in hotspot policing funding this financial year, and building on existing powers and initiatives, to ensure local needs and concerns are addressed.
The APCC is supporting the initiative by showcasing the important work being spearheaded by PCCs and Deputy Mayors, in partnership with local authorities and third sector organisations.
