Community Safety - East Cambridgeshire

The District Council is committed to reducing crime and disorder and to increasing community safety in East Cambridgeshire. The Council plays an active role in the East Cambridgeshire Community Safety Partnership, which was set up in 1998 to tackle crime in the district. This Partnership includes the Police, the County Council, the Primary Care Trust and the National Probation Service.

Community Safety Partnership Strategy

The plan lays out the selected community safety priorities for East Cambridgeshire, why they were chosen and how these will be achieved. Further details of what actions we will be taking are outlined in more detail in our 2011 Rolling Action Plan.

2011 Rolling Action Plan

The 2011-2014 priorities that have been selected for East Cambridgeshire are:

Promote a Safer Community
Challenge Anti-Social Behaviour
Challenge Crime in Our Communities
Challenge Domestic Violence

The Partnership will also be considering wider issues surrounding drug and alcohol misuse, the importance of the positive involvement of young people in the community, and the role that the Neighbourhood Panels will be able to play in dealing with community issues.
