Reducing offending, rural crime and anti-social behaviour

Trudy has welcomed the announcement that the Government has made an extra £50 million available to communities as part of the fourth round of the Safer Streets Fund.

Domestic abuse victims and their children living in Copeland will be able to receive more support following extra funding as part of the Government’s Domestic Abuse Bill. 

Cumbria Police is set to receive an additional £6m in its funding next year following an announcement today from the Home Secretary.

The MP for Copeland has welcomed news that Cumbria Police has been bolstered by an additional 52 officers since the Government launched its major police recruitment campaign one year ago.

The addition of these new officers brings the total number across Cumbria up to 1,251.

The MP for Copeland has praised Boots Pharmacies in Copeland for offering a unique ‘safe space’ for victims of domestic abuse. 

Copeland’s MP has spoken out in Parliament about family courts and praised the Women Out West Centre in Whitehaven.

Speaking during the second reading of the landmark Domestic Abuse Bill, Trudy Harrison said the family courts “needed a serious looking at”.
