Is there a link to policing priority areas?
Policing Priority Areas (PPAs) are focused initiatives aimed at tackling high crime and anti-social behaviour, and promoting social cohesion. They have been established in closely defined areas characterised by high levels of crime and low levels of community confidence. The style of policing delivered in PPAs is closely aligned with reassurance policing, including techniques like environmental visual audit, an emphasis on local engagement and establishing effective partnership working. If successful, the programme will provide a formal operating model for future PPAs that can be integrated more readily with mainstream policing business.
