The 1998 Crime and Disorder Act set up Community Safety partnerships (CSP) between:
- local authorities
- the police and police authorities
- the fire service
- the probation service
- health authorities
- the voluntary sector
- local residents and businesses
The CSP works to reduce crime and disorder by:
- establishing the levels of problems in their area
- consulting widely with the district population. This makes sure the partnership’s perception matches that of local people
- devising strategy to tackle priority problems
Each year the CSP must carry out a strategic assessment.
The strategic assessment includes:
- data analysis of levels and patterns of crime and disorder
- using practical intelligence led activity to set setting priorities and allocate resources
- The results from the Strategic Assessment allows the CSP to set it’s priorities around crime and disorder
