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 4th September, the Commissioner released her fourth 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.
Despite facing unprecedented challenges, including the tragic events in Southport, the report reveals that Merseyside Police continues to be graded as the best performing metropolitan force in England and Wales by His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary.
The force also retained its ‘Outstanding’ rating for tackling Serious and Organised Crime, reflecting the dedication and professionalism of officers and staff.
Among the headline achievements:
- Overall crime fell by 7%, with more than 10,000 fewer offences.
- Firearm discharges dropped by 45%, and residential burglaries by 17%.
- Vehicle crime fell by 18%, and theft from person by 43%.
- 314 County Lines were closed, and 410 arrests made under Operation Medusa.
- Nearly 60,000 victims of crime were offered or received support via the Police and Crime’s Commissioner’s Victim Care Merseyside service.
- £4.15m secured for initiatives to prevent crime and support victims.
- £2.4m invested in hotspot policing, leading to a 32.8% reduction in serious violence in targeted areas.
