Prevention is always better than cure.
That’s why I’ve placed such importance on our prevention initiatives in our new #MakeNottsSafePlan.
Preventing crime is my number one priority as your Police & Crime Commissioner.

Today I launched £1 million of funding for my Make Notts Safe Grants available to organisations across the county.
I want to work with local organisations to tackle crime through local initiatives.
