Community safety strategies
Responsible authorities have a statutory duty to work with other local agencies and organisations to develop and implement strategies to tackle crime and disorder including anti-social and other behaviour adversely affecting the local environment as well as the misuse of drugs in their area. These statutory partnerships are known as Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRPs) or Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs).
At present, responsible authorities are under a statutory duty to ensure that the key agencies come together to work in partnership in a CDRP, and carry out an audit of local crime, disorder and misuse of drugs every three years. Using the information arising from this audit and based on consultation with local communities they then formulate a strategy for combating crime, disorder and the misuse of drugs. The first round of audits were undertaken in 2004. Community Safety Strategies were published and were implemented from April 2005 covering the period until March 2008. A second round of audits or Strategic Assessments were carried out in 2007. In some areas updated strategies for the period April 2008 to March 2011 have now been published, in other areas yearly assessments are being carried out with annual action plans being produced.
