Welcome to the Community Safety Homepage

The Community Safety team is a small team of Braintree District Council Officers specialising in community safety work with a variety of partners across the Braintree District.  The Braintree District is a LOW LEVEL CRIME AREA with crime statistics per 1000 residents well below similar Local Authorities as defined by the Home Office Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships family grouping.
