Virtual Learning Café Hotspots Policing 16 May 2024

This session focuses on hotspots policing - a policing strategy that targets resources and activities to places where crime is most concentrated. There is a growing evidence-base which suggests that hotspots policing is likely to be effective at reducing violence. This is one of the reasons why in 2019 the Home Office announced that 18 police forces with the highest levels of serious violence would receive funding to deliver hotspots policing. The aim of this programme, called Grip, was to deter serious violence through visible patrol activity in hotspots whilst also adopting problem-oriented policing to address the root causes of violence.
