We work closely with the 40 Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRPs) and the nine Drug Action Teams (DATs) in the region, providing a link between them and central government. The overall objective of the partnerships is to reduce crime, fear of crime, anti-social behaviour and drug-related crime. We support improvements in the performance of the CDRPs and DATs and oversee the closer working and possible merger of the partnerships.
