Decision number: 31/2024

Author and Job Role: Lauren Mcalister, Partnership and Community Safety Lead

Protective Marking:  OFFICIAL

For 2024/25 the Police and Crime Commissioner has made available £383,000 for the Community Safety Fund to ensure continued support to local community, voluntary and faith organisations.

Surrey Police – Clear Hold Build

Clear, Hold, Build is a police operational framework to address crime threats to a community. Surrey Police have identified Redhill as a suitable area, both for its need and also the strength of its partnership.

An initial clear phase was completed in early 2024 and a second phase will commence at the later stage of 2024.  

There isn’t a fixed timeline, the work progresses in line with the needs of the local area.

The phases often happen in parallel rather than the work being a linear progression between separate phases.

The elements of each phase are:

  • Clear – Police Led Enforcement. Targeting key crime types prevalent in an area and any key individuals or groups.
  • Hold – Interventions, counter-measures and contingency plans to stabilise clear phase.
  • Build – Delivering community empowered interventions.

The PCC supports the recommended allocation of the Community Safety Fund and awards the following;

  • £38,000 to Surrey Police to support the operational delivery of Clear, Hold Build with the Redhill partners.

I approve the recommendation(s):
