College of Policing produces guidance on PB

The College of Policing, using examples from Merseyside Police, has produced an information resource for PB. Stating the aim is to encourage and support the use of this community-led approach to improve engagement and empowerment within communities.

According to the guide the intended outcomes of PB are to:

  • increase of community intelligence
  • identify the current community assets and community priorities for investment
  • increase the ability of community assets to deliver meaningful interventions and diversions
  • increase of trust and confidence in policing and partners (measured through community contact, engagement and relationships)
  • reductions in crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB) in the community.
