Good afternoon everyone - don’t forget to post your Questions to Caroline and John in the Q&A

and thank you for the funding you have got successfully for us.

Our crime rates are soaring in MK we have had 4 murders from knives in the past 13 weeks. What can PC do to support. We have a lack of police and are slowly becoming lawless and a real issues with gangs

Mandy can you paste your question into the Q&A thank you!

in other countries people can seek support to prevent them from offending ...if they are experiencing thoughts of offending ...this seems to work (sexual and violent thoughts) also wrap around care for people at riskof offending

do we have similar initiaves ?

Hi Anne, can you pop that into the Q&A please

Re county lines I know of a charity who harness the expertise of rough sleepers who have addictions issues to work with police as they have insight.....good example we could replicate ?

Ooh a bit of county rivalry - love it! But both C and J are at one and right about taking pride in our places

Is anyone here helping fund local PCSOs or know of other councils who are??

We're funding a youth service and CCTV all from the precept. Youth hanging about and causing damage and drug dealing in the park (this is a rural market town) make older people feel insecure. We'll be focusing on detached youth work and youth mentoring and mental health. Need to find more funding.

we are using wellbeing agenda to increase the community identity...producing a very a directory

we fund a PCSO post and are about to fund a youth worker through the borough council in partnership with the youth and community centre. ASB and a fear of teenagers are increasing in the village.

very local directory of village hall and community activities and support...we are waiting for results of survey to have a wellbeing week ...w hoe anything that build community spirt and support may decrease crime?
