The Police and Crime Commissioner, (“the PCC”), has a wide remit to cut crime and improve community safety in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Plan 2013-18 sets out the PCC’s intentions to achieve safer communities and improve trust and confidence in high quality policing by reducing crime and antisocial behaviour, ensuring fairer treatment of victims and citizens and demonstrating using public resources wisely. The plan includes a specific commitment to “protect, support and respond to victims, witnesses and vulnerable people”. Police and Crime Commissioners were given the power to commission local support services for victims of crime by the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act in March 2014.
