Purpose

As a result of securing funding from the
Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) for the
financial year 2023/24, this allowed the CDC to undertake
additional dedicated patrols of hotspot locations, to combat low
level crime and anti-social behaviour and having a visible
presence in each area to provide public reassurance and improve
confidence.

Following on from the success of the patrols in 2023/24, further
funding has been identified for the financial year 2024/25 from the
SY MCA for additional patrols in hotspot locations identified by
South Yorkshire Police (£50K) with a further (£20K) to
be spent on problem-solving interventions again in identified
hotspot areas and subject to agreement from the SY MCA and South
Yorkshire Police. The total value of the funding is
£70k.
