Beyond policing, PCCs have brought focus and drive to work with local partners, including on wider crime and criminal justice matters.</p><p>PCCs are already at the forefront of delivering local solutions to the issue of serious violence. In the 18 worst affected areas, the Government has provided locally accountable PCCs with up to £63.4m through surge funding in 2019-20 to help support operational and preventative activity; as well as an additional £35m in the same period to invest in Violence Reduction Units (VRUs). In December 2019, the Home Secretary announced a further £35m to continue funding VRUs in 2020-21.</p><p>The Early Intervention Youth Fund is also supporting 40 projects match-funded by PCCs, with £22m being made available over two years (2018-19 and 2019-20) to support communities in tackling the root causes of serious violence.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 09/03/2020 16:25:43 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
