Agenda item

The Panel considered a report of the Police, Crime and Victims’ Commissioner which presented the draft refreshed Police, Crime and Victims’ Plan for 2018-2021, in advance of its publication (for copy see file of Minutes).

Councillor Hovvels informed the PCVC that she was pleased that he was involved nationally in issues relating to mental health which had a big impact on many aspects of public services.  There were too many people in prisons who had mental health problems.

Councillor Smith referred to the figures quoted for women’s re-offending rates and those in prison for short sentences and asked whether there were any women’s centres in Durham.  The PCVC replied that developments around this were ongoing.

Resolved:

That the report be noted
