Community Safety

The Government Office for the South West is responsible for the delivery in the region of the Government’s Crime Reduction Strategy and the National Drug Strategy. Teams within the Safer and Stronger Communities Directorate provide support to Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships and Drug Action Teams and provide a link between them and central government.

Government Offices make a regional contribution to the Government’s aim to build a safe, just and tolerant society, protect the public and ensure the balance between the rights and responsibilities of individuals, families and communities is properly maintained. Government Offices also deliver the four key themes of the National Drug Strategy. More information on the national picture

We work closely with 16 Community Safety Partnerships at county and unitary level in the region. The overall objective of these partnerships is to reduce crime, the fear of crime, anti-social behaviour, drug-related crime and the harm caused by illicit drugs. More information on this is available in the 'Partnerships' area listed under Related Links below.

The SSCD Team is responsible for the management of a number of funding regimes totalling about £6million. We also focus on supporting improvements in the performance of the CDRP and DAT partnerships.
