Safer Herefordshire

Introduction

Safer Herefordshire (Formerly Herefordshire Community Safety and Drugs Partnership) is a statutory, multi-agency partnership set up to tackle community safety and drug issues across the county.  The Partnership aims to work together to make Herefordshire an even safer place to live, work and visit, focusing on education, prevention, enforcement and treatment.

Herefordshire is a very safe place, with some of the lowest crime rates in the country.  However, in any area there will always be some improvements that can be made to increase community safety. Safer Herefordshire focuses on:

  • Reducing crime through offender management and other interventions (including domestic abuse)
  • Reducing drug and alcohol harm
  • Promoting and delivering increased road safety
  • Providing community reassurance on anti-social behaviour, disorder and crime
  • Multi-agency and community dynamic tasking and co-ordination

The following two subjects also fall into each of these categories:

  • Young People (victims and offenders)
  • Violent Crime

Current partner organisations are:

Partnership Background

The 1998 Crime and Disorder Act placed a statutory duty on local authorities and the Police to act in co-operation with the Probation Service, Health Authorities and other relevant agencies, to work together to develop and implement a strategy for tackling crime and disorder in their area.  This was later amended in the 2002 Police Reform Act to include the Police Authority, Fire Service and the Primary Care Trust.

So the Herefordshire Community Safety Partnership was established, which then merged with the Herefordshire Drug Action Team in 2004 to form the new Herefordshire Community Safety and Drugs Partnership.

However, in order to move with the changing times, it was decided in early 2009 that we needed to re-brand ourselves, so Safer Herefordshire was born.
