Merseyside Police operation EVOLVE delivers major crime reduction across Everton and Vauxhall 🚨
A year after the launch of a major multi-agency operation to tackle serious and organised crime, Everton and Vauxhall are seeing significant and measurable improvements.
EVOLVE Everton-Vauxhall, the fourth Clear, Hold, Build initiative rolled out across Merseyside, was launched last January after the areas were identified as needing a long-term, partnership-led approach to reducing crime and improving community safety.
The Home Office-backed Clear, Hold, Build model focuses on disrupting criminal activity, stabilising neighbourhoods and supporting communities to build resilience for the future, working closely with residents, councils and local organisations. 🚔
Since EVOLVE was introduced, Merseyside Police and partners have recorded:
• 117 arrests • 31 weapons seized • 1.9kg of Class A drugs, 22kg of Class B drugs and 85kg of Class C drugs recovered • 120 warrants executed • 630 stop searches carried out • 42 safeguarding referrals made • 528 intelligence submissions, a 28% increase on the previous year • Just under £150,000 of cash and assets seized
