COMMUNITY SAFETY Partnership (CSP)

The Safer Melton Partnership (the CSP for Melton) formed as a result of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 which placed a statutory duty on the police, local authority, county council, primary care trust, police authority and fire authority to work together in order to develop and implement a community safety strategy designed to reduce crime and disorder within their local authority area.

For this purpose the Safer Melton Partnership is required to produce a 3 year 'rolling' community safety strategy which is reviewed annually through a strategic assessment. To assist in identifying the community safety issues which matter most to communities the Partnership prepares an annual strategic assessment which is based on community consultation, crime audits and statistical information from all partner agencies.

Based on the 2010/11 strategic assessment the SMP identified the following priorities for the first year of the Community Safety Plan 2011-2014:

1. Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour and Enhancing Public Confidence.

2. Tackling Domestic Abuse.

3. Tackling Serious Acquisitve Crime, Including Domestic Burglary.

4. Enhancing Road Safety.

5. Creating a Safer Town, tackling Violence, Alcohol Related Disorder and Theft.

6. Tackling Rural Crime.

7. Reducing Re-Offending.

8. Focussing on Priority Neighbourhoods and areas of High Crime and Disorder.
