Support for project to prevent re-offending by Shropshire youth

I was happy today to offer my personal support and the financial support of the Police Authority to a police-led project aimed at stopping young people known to the Police in Shropshire from re-offending.

Each Policing Board has funds to spend on local projects which target community safety and when we receive a request for finance support I make the funding decision with the local commander, Superintendent James Tozer.

PC Scott Smither from Shrewsbury Police was behind this bid and he is someone I have the utmost regard for - over my years on the Police Authority I've seen the excellent work he does with and for young people across Shropshire.
