Lancashire Partnership Against Crime

What Lancashire Partnership Against Crime does

Lancashire Partnership Against Crime (LANPAC) is a UK registered charity and company limited by guarantee, founded in 1992 and headquartered at Lancashire Constabulary HQ in Hutton, Preston. It operates as a tri-sector coalition of Lancashire Constabulary, local businesses, and public services that collectively funds community safety and crime prevention projects across Lancashire County. The organization has allocated over £4 million to more than 100 initiatives each year, including youth diversion programmes (Project Adder, Operation Commando, Premier League Kicks, Summer Kicks, FY Wingz Rap Programme), fraud awareness campaigns (Fraud Toolkit, No Cold Calling stickers), rural crime prevention (Rural Properties and Landowners Security, Operation U-Turn), and elderly protection initiatives (Kirkham Companions, Caravan Watch).\n\nLANPAC's core service is grant administration rather than software or technology. Project funding is open exclusively to Lancashire Constabulary employees who apply on behalf of community organizations, with all proposals aligned to the Police and Crime Commissioner's Crime Plan priorities. The operating model is a matched-funding structure: every £400 in membership fees is leveraged into £1,500 of community value through required co-funding from partner organizations. The technology stack is minimal and stateless (Eventbrite for conference ticketing, Microsoft Sway for newsletters, a WordPress website, and standard social media channels), and no proprietary platform, API, or AI capability is present.\n\nThe revenue model is asset-light and recurring: annual membership fees from businesses and public bodies using a graduated tariff (£50/year for 1-5 employees, £100 for 6-20, £250 for 21-250, £400 for 250+), supplemented by events and conferences. Named members span Lancashire Constabulary, BAE Systems, Booths, Beaverbrooks, University of Central Lancashire, National Farmers Union, Age UK, Lancashire Fire Rescue Service, and multiple borough and county councils. LANPAC is governed by a Board of Directors drawing from public, private, and voluntary sectors, with "Friends of the Board" including the Chief Constable of Lancashire Constabulary and the Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner.

Core offering

Lancashire Partnership Against Crime (LANPAC) is a charitable partnership organization that raises funds primarily through tiered annual membership fees from Lancashire businesses and public services, and deploys those funds as matched grants to community safety and crime prevention projects proposed by Lancashire Constabulary employees. The organization also convenes crime prevention conferences and stakeholder networking opportunities that connect police, businesses, and public sector partners across the county.

Product overview

LANPAC is a charitable partnership organization, not a product company. It operates as a collaboration between Lancashire Constabulary, local businesses, and public services to reduce crime and disorder across Lancashire. The organization funds crime prevention and community safety initiatives submitted by Lancashire Constabulary employees on behalf of the community. Rather than offering a software product, LANPAC provides funding for approximately 100 community safety projects annually, offers business membership services with tiered fees based on organization size, organizes crime prevention conferences, and facilitates networking between police and businesses. Their funded projects include crime prevention toolkits, youth diversion programs, cycling safety initiatives, fraud awareness campaigns, and various community safety equipment distribution.

Others

• Locality: UK membership network supporting community-led organizations and social enterprises with funding and governance support — thematically adjacent as a member-supported charitable infrastructure for community-impact work.

Broad incumbents

• Victim Support: Large UK charity providing victim and community-safety services, often commissioned by police and PCCs; a broader incumbent operating in adjacent community-safety territory rather than a county-level business-funded partnership.
• Nacro: Long-standing UK charity working on crime prevention, resettlement and youth diversion — a larger incumbent in the same community-safety space, though with national rather than county-level member funding.
• Catch22 (Crime Concern): Large social-services charity (which absorbed Crime Concern) delivering youth diversion and crime-prevention programmes; operates at much greater scale than LANPAC but in a closely adjacent community-safety domain.

Direct peers

• Crimestoppers UK: National independent crime-fighting charity in the UK with a similar registered-charity structure focused on crime prevention and community safety; comparable funding/awareness model though operating nationally rather than via a county-level business membership programme.
• National Association of Business Crime Partnerships: UK umbrella organization for local Business Crime Reduction Partnerships; LANPAC's model is functionally a county-level version of the BCRP partnerships that NABCP represents, making it a directly comparable peer.
• Business Crime Reduction Centre (BCRC): UK not-for-profit focused on supporting local business crime-reduction partnerships, training and standards; overlaps with LANPAC's mission of coordinating police, businesses and public services against local crime.
• Neighbourhood Watch Network: UK charity supporting local crime-prevention and community-safety schemes, with member-based local networks — directly comparable to LANPAC's local partnership and community project funding approach.

Emerging players

• Suzy Lamplugh Trust: UK personal-safety charity delivering crime-prevention training and campaigns, with comparable small-charity structure and a focus on community safety initiatives funded by grants and member support.

Regional players

• Cardiff Against Business Crime: Welsh city-level business crime-reduction partnership funded by member businesses and partnered with the police; structurally analogous to LANPAC but operating in a different UK region.
