At a national level, the Department provides Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) with annual grant funding to commission local practical, emotional, and therapeutic support services for victims of all crime types.</p><p>More broadly, the Government continues to work with police and community partners to monitor and combat racially and religiously motivated hatred.
