Prime Minister @rishisunakhas a plan to drive down anti-social behaviour and make our streets safer – and it’s working.

The next stage of the plan

We’re backing every police force in England and Wales with at least £1 million in funding to ramp up patrols.

This could mean up to 900,000 hours of patrols tackling violence and disorder – the equivalent of up to 540 extra visible police officers in these hotspot areas.

That’s on top of what we’ve already achieved in our ten ASB pilot areas:

Over 80,000 hours of patrols in the six months since the pilots launched Reports of drops in ASB of up to 36% in some areas Close to 1,500 stop and searches and nearly 600 arrests

Since 2010, we’ve made big strides – we’ve recruited 20,000 more police officers and cut crime by more than half. We know there’s more to do but this Government’s plan is working.
