The Commissioner produces an Annual Report each year to inform the public and our partners on the progress that has been made against her Police and Crime Plan.
This report gives both the public and the body which oversees her work, the Police and Crime Panel, the opportunity to review her activities and work and provide their feedback.
These reports cover each financial year. All feedback on the report is welcomed. Please use our Contact page to give us your views.

On 17th September, the Commissioner released her fifth annual report after it was formally endorsed by the Police and Crime Panel.
The report provides an overview of the PCC’s activities during the financial year, providing a snapshot of the work being undertaken to deliver on the priorities set out in her Police and Crime Plan.
Throughout the year, the PCC secured millions of pounds in additional funding for the region, expanded support services for victims, invested in programmes for young people, strengthened neighbourhood policing and continued to hold Merseyside Police to account on behalf of the public.
Among the key achievements highlighted in the report are:
- More than 75,000 victims of crime were offered or received support through Victim Care Merseyside.
- £4m committed to domestic abuse services over the next two years.
- Nearly 12,000 victims of domestic abuse and more than 3,200 survivors of sexual violence supported through enhanced services.
- £3.1m secured to support initiatives preventing crime and helping victims recover.
- Nearly £550,000 invested through the Youth Empowerment Scheme, supporting more than 10,000 young people through 27 grassroots organisations.
- More than 12,000 professionals trained in trauma-informed practice across Merseyside.
- More than 8,500 people referred into treatment and recovery programmes through Project ADDER.
- More than 180 Domestic Abuse Workplace Champions trained across 56 organisations.
- The Young Futures Prevention Programme pilot supported 90 young people, with 79% receiving early intervention support.
The report highlights the Commissioner's leadership of major regional partnerships, including the Merseyside Violence Reduction Partnership, the Criminal Justice Board, the Violence Against Women and Girls programme and the region's response to antisocial behaviour. It also details how funding secured by the PCC has supported projects across all five boroughs, helping communities tackle local priorities and support vulnerable residents.
