We realise that Limburg’s current way of dealing with the problems of “undermining/subversive crime” needs improvement. Therefore, we are starting project LION in which Politie Limburg partners up with Provincie Limburg, RIEC Limburg, PVO and ACT. Together we would like to start building one image (what is happening in Limburg and the EU-region in regard to subversive crime), one judgement (what do we think we need to do about this) and one place for decision making (what do we decide to do about this).
In project LION we aim for interventions with high social impact on different levels.
- Reducing criminal networks
- Breaking criminal careers
- Disrupting criminal revenue
- Reducing attraction on minors
- Increasing visibility and trust in government
- Raising awareness on the impact over subversive crime
- Strengthening weak organisations and logistic hubs
The police has started this initiative but we would like this to be something that is successful for all stakeholders in the domain of public safety and crime prevention. If this pilot is successful, it will get follow up in the rest of Limburg and on a national level, so all eyes are on us!
The problem is that we do not know how to measure, monitor and show the overall effect and impact of our interventions. We need a pro-active and hands-on PREMIUM team to help us succeed.
