£130.5 million to tackle serious violence, murder and knife crime
The government is making over £130 million available to tackle serious violent crime – including murder and knife crime – in the coming year, Home Secretary Priti Patel announced today (Monday 8 March).
The funding will enable a programme of work to prevent some of the most serious types of crime and deliver safer communities for the British public.
The package includes:
£30 million to support the police to take targeted action in parts of England and Wales most affected by serious violence . This is new money, following over £100 million in surge funding that has been provided to police over the past two years and which has already seen over 100,000 weapons seized by police and thousands of hours of enforcement activity in hotspot areas – including increased patrols, weapons sweeps, and stop and search.
