(PPO Scheme)
The East Riding has a very small number of offenders who pose a disproportionate threat to the safety and confidence of local communities, through their criminal or anti-social behaviour.
The Prolific and Other Priority Offenders Scheme (PPO) addresses this group in three strands:
Catch and Convict:
Assertive targeting of active prolific offenders.
Rehabilitate and Resettle:
Offering prolific offenders a range of supportive options to address their offending or face a swift return to the courts.
Prevent and Deter:
Stopping people becoming prolific offenders.
The PPO partnership brings together members of local agencies trying to reduce re-offending rates; a target that cannot be successfully achieved by one agency alone.
