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.

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
- West Hertfordshire Primary Care Trust
- Youth Offending Team
- Hertfordshire Probation Area
- various local voluntary organisations
Consultation on the Community Safety Draft Strategy 2013/14
Each year the Community Safety Partnership consults with the public and local groups on its plans for the coming year to tackle crime and disorder across the District. The plan needs to contribute to the local and county objectives to have maximum effect in addition to supporting the Local Strategic Partnership's sustainable communities strategy.
A full copy of the draft strategy for 2013 can be viewed below.
Consultation on the strategy
The consultation has now closed.
The partnership has identified six main objectives for the coming year:
- preventing and reducing crime in particular burglary and motor vehicle crime
- protecting vulnerable members of the community in particular children, young people, victims of domestic abuse and adults who require safeguarding
- preventing, tackling and reducing anti social behaviour and arson using the most effective manner possible
- preventing and reducing drug and alcohol misuse through increased education and awareness including information about the penalties for possession of drugs in particular cannabis
- ensuring that offenders have the help and support that they need to have the best opportunity to turn their lives around
- assisting troubled families requiring the most input from agencies to ensure that they receive help in a co-ordinated manner
