Hotspot policing is a proven methodology for reducing crime by targeting resources and activities in hotspots.
It involves increasing visible patrols by capable guardians e.g. police or street marshals. This deters offenders from taking advantage of opportunities to commit crime. A uniformed presence also helps reassure members of the public in areas where they may feel more vulnerable.
Police and Crime Commissioner Alison Hernandez secured £1 million of Home Office funding for hotspot policing. This has enabled patrols in 13 towns and cities across Devon and Cornwall. An additional £200,000 from the Commissioner has bolstered the fund, maximising the number of partner patrols.
