Community safety

Community Safety is about working together to reduce crime, anti-social behaviour and the fear of crime. To do this South Cambridgeshire District Council works with a number of partner agencies as part of South Cambridgeshire Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP). The CDRP includes the District Council, County Council, Police, Fire and Rescue service and other agencies who work together to deal with problems such as crime, anti-social behaviour and drug and alcohol misuse.

South Cambridgeshire Community Safety Rolling Plan 2008-2011

The South Cambridgeshire Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP) have agreed a list of priorities to be dealt with from 2008 to 2011. These priorities will be revised each year.
The priorities are:

Themes that will be addressed within all the priorities are young people, drug and alcohol misuse and communities working together.
