Community Safety Partnership

We want Barking and Dagenham to be a place where people can go about their everyday lives, day or night, confident in the knowledge that they are safe from harm or the effects of crime.

To achieve this we are committed to working openly and closely across organisations to develop and implement solutions which will enable us to meet our Community Plan priorities to: 

• Reduce crime;
• Reduce the entry of new people to the criminal justice system;
• Minimise re-offending;
• Restore the balance of justice for victims;
• Reduce high crime areas and hotspots;
• Ensure people feel safer in their neighbourhoods;
• Focus on reducing alcohol/drugs dependency.

This is a challenge which we do not underestimate, but one which we accept with enthusiasm and in the full knowledge that fear of crime is one of the key issues which directly impact upon the quality of life and satisfaction of place felt by our local community.

Following the last Strategic Assessment of Crime and Disorder, we have agreed our crime priorities for action in 2010 which are:

• Domestic violence;
• Other violence;
• Knife crime;
• Personal Robbery;
• Burglary (including distraction burglary);
• Hate crime (with greater priority given to rascist crime);
• Anti-social Behaviour (with greater priority on public space disorder and alcohol related ASB).

I am confident that we can build on the established record of partnership working across the former Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP) and now from 1 April, known as the Community Safety Partnership (CSP), to deliver on the above agenda.

Chair of the Community Safety Partnership

What are we talking about?

Meeting - 25 May 2010

Our meeting on 25 May has a more formal focus, reviewing the issues for the crime and disorder theme outlined in the borough's Comprenhensive Area Assessment report and the HMIC Inspection of Police 2009.

Discussion will cover where we are, in terms of addressing issues raised within the above reports and further action planned to improve the performance of the CSP and its constituent agencies where required.

A full programme of activity for the Partnership Board will appear here shortly but some forthcoming highlights include publication of the revised Anti-Social Behaviour Strategy and Action Plan in late summer/early autumn and the commencment of the Strategic Assessment of Crime and Disorder 2010/11 in late summer reporting back to the Partnership later this year with recommendations for our crime priorities for 2011.
