Community safety partnership
Community Safety Plan
Broxbourne Community Safety
Partnership comprises the Council, Police and other statutory
agencies. The Partnership is required by law to produce a
rolling Community Safety Plan. In line with this
responsibility the partnership has produced the Community
Safety Action Plan 2013/14.
The plan details how the Broxbourne Community Safety
Partnership will prioritise its resources and respond to the
findings of an annual strategic assessment and the community safety
issues that are of most concern to those who live and work in the
Borough. It also takes into consideration all other relevant
local, regional and national agendas.
The plan is a 'living
document'. This means that the partnership constantly reviews
the work it does and is therefore able to properly target
resources to tackle crime and disorder problems in the
Borough.
Strategic Assessment
Broxbourne Community Safety Partnership has a
duty to undertake an annual strategic assessment of local community
safety priorities for the rolling Community Safety Plan. The
aim of the strategic assessment is to provide an assessment of
community safety issues affecting the Borough. The strategic
assessment is intelligence-led and considers changes in the level
and patterns of crime, disorder and substance misuse since the last
assessment and why these changes have occurred. The
Hertfordshire Police and Crime Plan will be closely tied into
this.
As a result, the Strategic
Assessment 2013/14 has been produced which identified the
following priorities for the coming year.
- Reducing serious acquisitive crime,
particularly burglary and vehicle crime
and manage offenders more effectively
- Continue to reduce domestic violence in
the Borough
- Maintain the multi-agency work to deal with
parking outside schools and other illegal/obstructive parking
- Continue to reduce the levels of anti-social
behaviour, including enviro-crimes
- Continue to engage the public to improve
confidence/reassurance in the Police/Council and
improve perceptions about anti-social behaviour
