The Council is a member of the Suffolk Coastal Community
Safety Partnership which aims to work together to build a
safer, stronger and more secure district.
Community Safety Partnerships are statutory partnerships which
were formed as a result of the Crime & Disorder Act 1998.
The Government requires each district to have a partnership to
address community safety, crime and disorder and substance misuse.
Members of the Suffolk Coastal partnership include the Council
and:
It is supported by members of the Local Criminal Justice
Board and organisations from the voluntary sector.
Priorities for 2011/12
In order to tackle anti-social behaviour, criminal damage and
violence against the person, which account for the majority of
offences reported in the district, the partnership has
identified three priority themes for 2011/12:
- Creating a safer night time economy / Alcohol and substance
misuse.
- Protecting young people / Helping vulnerable families.
- Protecting property / Priority neighbourhoods
Anti-social behaviour - the service you can expect from your
Community Safety Partnership
Suffolk Police, local councils and partners from Community
Safety Partnerships, have published minimum standards of service
that the public can expect should they be victims or witnesses of
anti-social behaviour.
The standards, devised and agreed by all partners in the
Community Safety Partnerships, form a promise to the public to help
keep Suffolk a safe county in which to live, work and visit. You
