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.
