Exeter City Council and the University Of Exeter have joined up with the Police Crime Prevention Academy to offer Council staff and University Community Engagement Officers the opportunity to take the Level 3 qualification ‘Introduction to Crime Prevention’. 

In September the Police Crime Prevention Academy welcomed new Crime Prevention Officers from Durham Constabulary, Hertfordshire Constabulary and Nottinghamshire Police as well as representatives from West Midlands Police, Colmore Business Improvement District and an independent fire safety consultant, to the national delivery of our Level 4 qualification ‘Crime Prevention for Practitioners’.

The Police Crime Prevention Academy was delighted to have had the opportunity to assist with crime prevention at the 2022 Commonwealth Games held in Birmingham.

The Academy was delighted to welcome officers from the Sovereign Base Areas Police Service in Cyprus, to undertake the Level 3 Crime Prevention qualification, in September 2022.  

A team of specialist problem solvers along with the Head of Profession for Problem Solving for Devon and Cornwall Police will be undertaking the Level 3 strategic problem solving accredited qualification through the Academy this week.  

The RAF Police have again chosen the Academy as their preferred provider for officers to undertake the Level 4 crime prevention accredited qualification.

The Academy was with South Wales Police and with Dyfed-Powys Police over the last week as part of an established relationship with the Home Office forces and partner agencies in Wales.  

The Academy developed and delivered a bespoke 2-day event for Reading Borough Council staff to support their Continued Professional Development (CPD) and increase their capacity to support safer local communities.  

For 2022/23, the Metropolitan Police Service has contracted the Academy to co-ordinate delivery of the Level 3 crime prevention accredited qualification and the Level 2 problem solving accredited qualification to officers in the new Town Centre Teams and existing Neighbourhood Teams.

The Academy is supporting members of the Safe & Well Team within Essex County Fire & Rescue Service (ECFS) to undertake the Level 3 crime prevention accredited qualification as a key element in the re-launch of the project.
