New data from Merseyside Police has indicated an overall drop in offences
Crime across Merseyside has fallen by 14% in the past year, with decreases in major offences including gun discharges and knife crime.
The information was presented as part of regular scrutiny meetings held by the PCC and was the first since she secured a second term in the role, having first been elected in 2021. In May’s ballot, she comfortably held onto her post taking four times as many votes as the second placed Conservative candidate Bob Teesdale.
Mrs Spurrell said: “It’s hugely reassuring that crime continues to fall across Merseyside. It means less people are being harmed, fewer families living in fear and safer, stronger communities across the region.
