Community Safety Partnership for North West Leicestershire

The 1998 Crime and Disorder Act required Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (now named Community Safety Partnerships) to be set up and placed an obligation on local authorities and police to work together to tackle crime and disorder in their area.

The SNWLP works to identify where crime and disorder has or may occur, then looks at measures to address it. The partnership understands that the consequences of becoming a victim of crime or anti-social behaviour (ASB) can be far-reaching and have a devastating impact. Since their introduction, Community Safety Partnerships have encouraged a more inclusive way of working, which has contributed, to a sustained fall in crime.
