Prevention

Head: Chief Constable Amanda Blakeman, North Wales Police

Overview

The purpose of the Prevention Coordination Committee is to oversee the delivery and implementation of the National Policing Prevention Strategy, providing strategic guidance and direction to deliver the below outcomes. It will also lead on the development and commissioning of key pieces of work which support the delivery of the National Policing Prevention Strategy. This will include academic research and evaluation, key products, services, and training on behalf of the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) to influence across policing, government departments, third sector and industry.

Its objectives are to:

• Promote cultural change in policing through embedding a preventative approach as a core function of policing.
• Reduce harm by tackling the root causes, drivers and vulnerabilities associated with victimisation in both the physical and virtual environment.
• Reduce offending by tackling the causes and opportunities that facilitate offending.
• Reduce demand through a systematic cost effective, evidence based problem-solving approach.
