The £25m Safer Streets Fund will support areas in England and Wales that are disproportionately affected by acquisitive crimes, like burglary and theft, to invest in well evidenced crime prevention measures such as improved street lighting and home security. Police and Crime Commissioners were eligible to apply to the fund, using their local crime data to identify areas with disproportionately high acquisitive crime. Eligibility criteria for funding are set out in the Safer Streets Prospectus available at: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/860797/safer-streets-fund-prospectus.pdf.

The bidding window for PCCs to apply to the Fund closed on the 03 April and we expect to announce successful areas in July.
