Community Safety

Printer-friendly page

The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 requires certain agencies to work together to reduce crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour. Therefore, in every area throughout the country these public agencies have formed partnerships.

St Albans City and District Community Safety Partnership

The partnership in this district is called the St Albans Community Safety Partnership. The partners include...

  • St Albans City and District Council
  • Hertfordshire Constabulary
  • Hertfordshire County Council
  • Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service
  • Hertfordshire Police Authority
  • West Hertfordshire Primary Care Trust
  • Youth Offending Team
  • Hertfordshire Probation Area
  • various local voluntary organisations



Community Safety Consultation 2012/13

The Community Safety Partnership writes a plan every year to tackle crime and disorder across the District in order to build a safer St Albans City and District. The plan needs to contribute to the local and county strategies to have maximum effect and should also reflect the strategies of the Local Strategic Partnership's  Sustainable Communities Strategy.

Each year the Community Safety Partnership consults with the public and local groups on its plans for the coming year. This is your opportunity to let us know whether you think these priorities are correct and how you think we should deal with them.

The draft plan for 2012/13 is available to download below.

We would be very grateful if you could take the time to answer a few questions on the priorities for 2012/13.

If you would prefer a paper copy of this survey please contact Carol Almond at St Albans District Council on 01727 819538 

Community Safety Partnership Strategy 2011/12

The partnership has identified five main objectives for the coming year:

• To reduce, prevent and detect acquisitive crime offences including, dwelling burglary, theft from person and theft of and from motor vehicle offences.

• To reduce, prevent and detect drugs related offences including drug dealing and possession.

• To prevent and reduce anti social behaviour incidents.

• To manage offenders more effectively by developing a local Integrated Offender Management programme.

• To provide reassurance and information about the work of the partnership and actively engage with local communities.

Together with these key priorities is the Community Safety Partnership’s ability to respond to emerging issues quickly.
