It was fantastic to see our Man to Man campaign reaching a national audience on BBC Crimewatch Live today.

I'm so pleased that Paul and Joseph were able to join the programme to discuss the campaign, why it was so important to 'call men in' to the conversation and the response it's had from both men and women, generating more than 1million views online.

Tackling violence against women and girls isn't just a policing issue. It requires a wider culture shift. That's why we wanted to speak to men directly, encouraging them to challenge harmful attitudes, call out unacceptable behaviour, and lead by example.

In some cases, it’s also about encouraging men to take a long, hard look at their own behaviour and think about what they can do differently.

Too many women and girls still change their behaviour because they don't feel safe. We need men to recognise the role they can play in changing that and helping to make Merseyside a safer place for everyone.

When we invest in our young people, everyone wins… especially when that investment comes directly from money seized from criminal elements!

Well done and congratulations to everyone who attended last night’s Big Bid at L30 Community Centre, where 9 local organisations pitched and voted on how to divide the funds.

This money comes from the Proceeds of Crime Act and is organised together with Merseyside Police

My DPCC Jeanie Bell who attended and opened the event said: “the quality of every bid and idea was outstanding, with every organisation putting forward ideas that will create opportunities for young people, strengthen community connections and tackle the issues that matter most to the people living in the area.”

In this excerpt from the Merseyside Community Q&A, he and PCC Emily Spurrel highlight the positive outcomes already achieved by moving back to the BCU, and what it has meant for the community so far.

🍲🤝🌍 During Hate Crime Awareness Week, it was fantastic to join the local neighbourhood policing team St Helens Police and residents at St Helens for a community cooking session focused on promoting inclusion, understanding and diversity.

We're proud that St Helens YMCA is one of our Community Cashback Fund recipients, with money seized from criminals being reinvested into projects that make a real difference in our communities. Initiatives like this help bring people together, break down barriers, tackle isolation and celebrate the diversity that makes Merseyside such a vibrant place to live. 💙🙌

Residents worked side-by-side preparing the ingredients for a hearty Malaysian stew, with everyone playing their part to create a delicious meal for the YMCA community. 🥕🧅👨‍🍳🍲

The teamwork and sense of community on display were brilliant to see and a powerful reminder that our differences should be celebrated, and that stronger communities are built when people come together with kindness, respect and understanding. 🌈❤️

Merseyside is showing racism the red card 🟥

Using funds taken from criminal activity, Show Racism the Red Card has been leading Hate Crime awareness workshops at Clare Mount Specialist Sports College during Week, to enable our young people to be confident and resilient when speaking up against hate.

Listen to DPPC Jeanie Bell and Ch/Insp Dave Morgan from Merseyside Police talk about how important it is that we reinvest in our communities using what would have been ill-gotten gains from the criminal fraternity.

Modern slavery is happening in our communities and its impact can be devastating.

It can take many forms, including forced labour, criminal exploitation, domestic servitude and human trafficking. The impact on victims can be profound, affecting their safety, wellbeing and freedom.

As part of Modern Slavery Awareness Week, we're encouraging people across Merseyside to understand the warning signs and speak up if something doesn't seem right.

Find out more, access support and learn how to report concerns through Unseen & the Modern Slavery Helpline

By raising awareness and reporting concerns, we can help ensure victims get the support they need and offenders are held accountable.

"You can trust us with it. You can see the lengths we're going to."

Chief Constable Rob Carden explains how Live Facial Recognition (LFR) is helping Merseyside Police identify wanted offenders, protect communities, and support ongoing policing operations.

In this excerpt from our recent Merseyside Community Q&A, he highlights some of the positive outcomes already achieved through the use of LFR and explains why the technology is being used alongside a range of other specialist tactics and capabilities to keep people safe.

A crime can take more than your belongings, it can affect your sense of safety, confidence and peace of mind.

Everyone reacts differently after becoming a victim of crime. Some people are able to move on quickly, while others may struggle with anxiety, stress or the emotional impact for months afterwards.

That's why Victim Care Merseyside is here to help. The service provides free, confidential support to anyone affected by crime, offering practical advice and emotional support when it's needed most.

You are not alone. If you've been affected by crime, reach out to Victim Care Merseyside for support.
