Engaging Police and Crime Commissioners: Opportunities for The Prince’s Trust

The role of Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) is pivotal in crime prevention and community safety in England and Wales. Established by the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act, PCCs are directly elected officials responsible for setting policing priorities, appointing Chief Constables, and managing police budgets. The Prince’s Trust can collaborate with PCCs to align community projects that tackle crime, influence local policing strategies, and demonstrate the positive impact of initiatives on youth and public safety. Engage with regional partnerships to access potential grants and resources.
