Penzance
Penzance has received funding for street marshal patrols.
The patrols aim to proactively disrupt crime and act as a deterrent, as well as providing a reassuring presence to help people feel safe.
Additional funding enabled daily police patrols in hotspot areas over the summer months. Police and street marshals will be working together to reduce antisocial behaviour.
Thanks to Cornwall Council for their help in setting up and managing these patrols.
“Hotspot policing has been proven to work and it’s coming to Penzance! We understand that our communities want to feel safe and see high-visibility patrols in key areas within the town centre. We have been able to accurately map our hotspot areas using statistical data. By working in partnership to increase our patrols over the next 12 months, we will drive down crime and ASB in these areas.”
