  • South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit Information for Partners
    South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit article for partner websites and intranet The South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit is based at Shepcote Lane in Sheffield and is working across South Yorkshire to prevent and reduce violence. In South Yorkshire, we are taking a public health approach to preventing and reducing violence. This means that we look at the causes of violence, working in partnership to stop violence before it starts, halt the progression of violence once it has already begun and provide ways out for people already entrenched in violent behaviour. The following animation explains the public health approach to violence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZOEnCd6uiI&t=22s The South Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit partnership is led by Dr Alan Billings, South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner and consists of: • Office of the South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner • South Yorkshire Police • Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council • Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council • Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council • Sheffield City Council • Public Health England • Barnsley Clinical Commissioning Group • Doncaster Clinical Commissioning Group • Rotherham Clinical Commissioning Group • Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group • National Probation Service • Community Rehabilitation Company • Department for Work and Pensions • Youth Offending Teams • Education sector representatives • Community, Faith and Voluntary sector representatives All partners are clear that community voices and ideas are central to preventing and reducing violence in South Yorkshire. We have voluntary and community sector representatives from across the four districts (Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield) working together and sitting on our Violence Reduction Executive Board. In addition to this, we want to ensure that we hear the voice of community members who are not often given the opportunity to be involved in processes from the very beginning.

  • (Vrus) in FOCUS a Multi-Agency and Public Health Approach to Support Young People and Divert Them Away from Serious Violent Crime
    PCCs MAKING A DIFFERENCE VIOLENCE REDUCTION UNITS (VRUs) IN FOCUS A multi-agency and public health approach to support young people and divert them away from serious violent crime VIOLENCE REDUCTION UNITS IN FOCUS.indd 1 08/09/2020 14:23 king a Di a ffe M r e s n C c e C P VRUs IN FOCUS PCCs MAKING A DIFFERENCE VIOLENCE REDUCTION UNITS ( VRUs) IN FOCUS Foreword from Mark Burns-Williamson OBE, APCC Serious Violence Lead and West Yorkshire’s PCC I’m very pleased to introduce this latest ‘In Focus’ edition. PCCs have been working closely with the National Police Chiefs’ Council, the Home Office, public health and many other key partners to help reduce the threat of Serious Violent Crime throughout England & Wales. Serious violence can blight communities and lead to devastating consequences and although the impact is more often felt in our large cities, the problem also reaches into our towns and rural areas. Any approach needs to be evidence-based and consistent, investing in effective preventative measures over a sustained period of time. When the Government’s Serious Violence Strategy was launched in 2018, the APCC and I were clear that early intervention and prevention with a public health, whole-system approach was key to success over the longer term. By taking such an approach we can collectively continue our vital work to support young people in particular and divert them away from serious violent crime. Establishing and embedding a sustainable approach to tackling violent crime and its underlying causes can only happen by working closely with our partners and engaging with the communities most affected.

  • 7Th August 2015 the Cost of Police Authorities Versus the Offices Of
    7th August 2015 The cost of Police Authorities versus the Offices of Police and Crime Commissioners In November 2012 the first ever Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) elections took place in 41 areas of England and Wales. The purpose of creating PCCs was to introduce greater accountability to the police but the elections had the lowest ever recorded national electoral turnout of just 14.1 per cent1. Now that the PCCs have been in existence for an entire financial year, it is possible to do a direct comparison of the costs of the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) with the Police Authorities (PA) which they replaced. A comparison has been done for the total office costs and total remuneration costs. Total OPCC costs have also been compared to the size of the electorate which the PCC serves. This shows the relative cost of the Office of the PCC. This research note also examines to what extent the office of the PCC is being used to promote the interests of the PCC. To do this, the TaxPayers’ Alliance has compiled a list of all employees of the Police and Crime Commissioner and counted all staff whose role is to manage the public perception of the OPCC. The key findings of this research are: . Total spending across all OPCCs in 2013-14 was £52 million. Equivalent to the starting pay of over 2,200 Constables2. Total spending across all PAs in 2010-11 was £54 million. 18 of the 41 OPCCs spent more in 2013-14 than the PA did in 2010-11 – 23 spent less.

  • Letter from Dr Alan Billings South Yorkshire Police & Crime
    Letter from Dr Alan Billings South Yorkshire Police & Crime Commissioner and Chief Constable Stephen Watson, South Yorkshire Police, 18 November 2016 Thank you for your Orgreave letter dated 9 November 2016. As Chief Constable and Police and Crime Commissioner, we thought it might be helpful for you, for the avoidance of any doubt as to our respective positions, if we provide a joint reply in response to your specific queries. The South Yorkshire Police archive is held in the Sheffield Archives. These archives contain both written and other material as listed below: Photographs, negatives, VHS Videos, local newspaper cuttings, witness statements, maps, papers relating to criminal and civil proceedings, correspondence, reports, witness lists, complaint files, medical records, costs, lists of officers, arrest records, incident files, police interviews, mutual aid papers, solicitors and insurers papers and numerous other police operational papers. This material was made available to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. South Yorkshire Police also holds solicitors' and insurers' papers from the time of Orgreave, which are stored securely. Again, this material was made available to the Independent Police Complaints Commission for the specific and limited purposes of its investigation. South Yorkshire Police has recently undertaken a further search of the police estate to ensure that all material relating to Orgreave has been discovered. South Yorkshire Police has recently appointed a professional archivist, employed by Sheffield City Council and funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner, to catalogue the archive appropriately. It is anticipated that detailed cataloguing of all the material referred to above will take 12 months to complete.
