To be considered for a grant, the projects much target at least one of commissioner Shaun Wright’s priorities outlined in his police and crime plan. They are to protect the most vulnerable people of crime, to reduce anti social behaviour, improve visible policing, prevent reoffending and ensuring victims and witnesses receive a better deal.
Groups should visit www.southyorkshire-pcc.gov.uk and have until 3pm on 6th March to apply.
