The strategy aims to: - Prevent people engaging in County Lines, and the associated violence and exploitation. - Proactively safeguard children and vulnerable adults from harm.

New policing strategy unveiled to disrupt County Lines: The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) and the National County Lines Coordination Centre (NCLCC) have launched a Disrupting County Lines Policing Strategy designed to break the model used by criminal gangs. The three-year strategy, published on Tuesday (July 9), aims to: 1) Prevent people engaging in County Lines, and the associated violence and exploitation; 2) Proactively safeguard children and vulnerable adults from harm; 3) Better prepare communities by building resilience against the harms of County Lines; and 4) Relentlessly pursue offenders, including organised criminal groups, urban street gangs and individuals running County Lines. Building on the success since the launch of the Home Office County Lines programme in 2019, the NPCC has seen: - 5,627 County Lines closed down; - 16,536 people arrested; and - 8,817 individuals referred by police to safeguarding. https://lnkd.in/dmHuDAxR

I am an advocate of hotspots policing, but they aren't magical. Across many studies, the average crime reduction is around 10-20%. This recent UK Home Office Funded randomized study showed 7% on average reduction in robbery/violence against persons across 18 different forces. https://lnkd.in/ex9G3ePE Sometimes people will make digs at hotspots because of this, but those critiques are often misguided in my opinion. If you can do X strategy to reduce crime by 5%, cost and effort matter, but having officers spend extra time in hotspots is often worth that effort. #crimeanalysis #hotspots #evaluation

While residents voice increasing worries about the perceived crime level in the city, 6 out of 10 acknowledge the significance of policing in shaping the quality of life. Moreover, 7 out of 10 emphasize the importance of having a well-funded and adequately resourced police service in the City of Toronto. #topoli #cdnpoli #publicopinion

The power of community violence intervention (CVI) is catching on across the U.S., with more cities stepping up to create safer neighborhoods. 🏘️ Organizations like The National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform (NICJR) play an instrumental role in driving this change. By providing essential evidence and support, they help cities adopt effective public safety strategies like CVI, which engages directly with at-risk individuals to prevent violence. Explore how NICJR's findings helped transform Austin's approach to gun violence. #CVI #GunViolence #CriminalJusticeReform
