Welcome to Merseyside VRP

Merseyside’s Violence Reduction Partnership (VRP) is helping the government to deliver its Serious Violence Strategy, (published in 2018), in response to national increases in knife crime, gun crime and homicide.
In total, 18 Violence Reduction Units (VRUs) were established across England and Wales and ours is one of them; we renamed ours because we believe the word ‘partnership’ reflects the way we work and approach this challenge. We received £3.37m to support Merseyside’s efforts to make our communities safer and healthier.
The VRP brings together Merseyside police, Merseyside Fire and Rescue, local government, National Probation Service and the county’s Youth Offending Service, health and education professionals, community leaders and other key partners.
