Operation Payback is back
£177,000 worth of money that crime fighting officers have seized from drug dealers, human traffickers and thieves, will be used to improve lives and benefit grassroot causes, as part of the latest round of Kim McGuinness’ Operation Payback fund.
Ahead of Christmas, the Commissioner wants applications in for game-changing ideas to give local kids opportunities and keep them out of trouble. Youth clubs, sports clubs, community hubs and schools are the types of organisations, the fund hopes to reach with much needed cash.
| “There have been some fantastic results by Northumbria Police lately – lots of arrests and lots of money has been taken back and out of the wrong hands. There’s no better use for cash seized from crime than channelling it right back into our communities investing in real action and activities that kids want and benefit from and that in turn, will keep them out of trouble.” – Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner ” — Kim McGuinness |
