Keeping Hertfordshire’s communities safe.
The Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner is working to enhance community safety, with action on anti-social behaviour, burglaries, theft and domestic abuse and exploitation.
With record numbers of officers now patrolling our streets, we’re intensifying efforts to tackle crime. Initiatives like Operation Hotspot are focusing on areas with known criminal activity across Hertfordshire.

- Tackling Crime Hotspots: Operation Hotspot is targeting crime hotspots in 12 towns across Hertfordshire with thousands of hours of extra policing and has seen some place have crime cut in half.
- More Police Officers Than Ever Before: the Conservative PCC’s budget for 2025/26 will increase police officer numbers to a record high, with more officers in neighbourhood roles, keeping our streets safe.

- Tackling violence against women and girls: Through acting against perpetrators to change behaviour and encouraging the police to increase the number of protective orders being used to keep women safe.
- Safer town centres: By working to tackle anti-social behaviour and shoplifting to ensure Hertfordshire’s town centres are safe and vibrant places.
