2008/2009 Strategic Assessment
- Dacorum Community Safety Partnership is the preferred
name for the Dacorum Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership
(CDRP).
Dacorum Community Safety Partnership is a wide partnership with
the following statutory members
Dacorum Borough Council
Hertfordshire Police Authority
Dacorum Primary Care Trust
Hertfordshire County Council
Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service
Hertfordshire Constabulary
The Dacorum Community Safety Partnership has welcomed the recent
figures showing that crime in Dacorum has fallen by 17% in the
last three years - and has announced how it willcontinue the fight
in 2008-09
The Partnership was set the stiff
target of reducing crime in the Borough by 15.7% by the Government
back in 2005. Since then the Partnership - including the Council,
Hertfordshire Constabulary, Hertfordshire Fire Service and other
agencies - has worked hard to achieve this target.
Councillor Nick Tiley, Chair of
Dacorum Community Safety Partnership, said "When I was first
told three years ago that we had to reduce crime by nearly 16%
over a three year period I was a bit daunted by the prospect.
Three years down the track, because of the tremendous spirit of
cooperation between all the members of the Partnership, we have
done it -with a bit to spare. One single partner could not have
done this alone. Well done to all partners and well done to all
those who work with and for them."
The Partnership is now planning
to build on this success and has already outlined its priorities
for the coming year:
* To tackle anti-social behaviour, including criminal damage
* To reduce vehicle crime, particularly theft from a vehicle
* To reduce the effects of substance misuse and to bring down
levels of drug and alcohol related crime
* To reduce theft from a person, particularly focusing on our
town centres
* To reduce instances of dwelling burglary, in particular where
distraction is used by the offenders to gain entry to the property
* To increase feelings of safety, particularly in Hemel Hempstead
Dacorum's Community Safety Partnership - including Dacorum Borough
Council, Hertfordshire Constabulary, the Primary Healthcare Trust,
Herts County Council, and the Fire and Rescue Service - aims to
make Dacorum even safer and more pleasant and to provide a background
where people, communities and businesses can flourish.
