Commission for Countering Extremism (CCE) 15/2/2024 Report Hot spot policing in England and Wales, year ending March 2022 RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS: This report presents the findings of an evaluation of Grip and bespoke-funded hot spot policing in England and Wales for the year ending March 2022. In April 2021, the Home Office announced that 18 police forces with the highest levels of Serious Violence would receive funding to deliver enhanced hot spot policing. The aim of this programme, called Grip, is to deter Serious Violence through visible patrol activity in areas where crime is most concentrated. In September 2021, 2 further police forces were awarded bespoke funding to conduct hot spot policing. This evaluation provides an assessment of how much hot spot policing was delivered, as well as the impact and cost effectiveness of Grip and bespoke-funded hot spot policing for the year ending March 2022. It then makes recommendations to the Home Office and police forces themselves to maximise the programmes impact.
