Community Safety Partnership

 

Richmondshire Community Safety Partnership is a statutory body under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. Its purpose is to work with key statutory partners, and all other partners who can jointly work together, to provide long-term solutions to crime and disorder problems.

 

Actions to help people to feel safe and be safe in all communities in the District is the primary target of the work of the Partnership.

 

The Community Safety Partnership is also a partner in the Local Strategic Partnership and is helping to deliver priorities under the Safe Places theme of the Richmondshire 2021 Community Sustainable Community Strategy

 

A brief Annual Report for 2004/05 shows the outcomes of the 2002-2005 Crime Reduction Strategy.

 

The Partnership is required to conduct an audit of crime and disorder every three years and the most recent audit was in the autumn of 2004. The findings of the audit were produced in a report and a copy of the summarised version of the Audit Report 2004 is available.

 

The 2005-2008 Crime Reduction Strategy with its 'daughter' strategies – the Anti Social Behaviour Strategy 2005-2008 and the Hambleton & Richmondshire Domestic Abuse Strategy 2005-2008 are based on the 2004 Audit Report Findings.

 

There is also a leaflet available regarding advice about anti social behaviour.

 

The Partnership also issues regular press releases to keep residents informed of the latest initiatives.
